In particular, get both free testosterone and total testosterone levels checked. Some doctors only order total testosterone. It's possible to be symptomatic because you're low on the free stuff even though your total testosterone concentration is fine.
- wonderwonder 4y agoDefinitely, good point. My total testosterone was actually above average but free testosterone was very low.

- wonderwonder 4y agoSorry. not quite sure what you are asking if I took a DHEA-S test or checked my Estradiol levels? Estrogen levels were high, currently taking 1mg of Anastrozole weekly for that.
- all2 4y agoAlso consider Diindolylmethane (DIM) and Calcium D-Glucarate (CDG). Vigorous Steve (what a name) talks about these some on his YouTube channel. Both are used to manage estrogens for those who run steroid stacks. They are likely useful for managing estrogens for normal folks too. Ask your endocrinologist, obviously.
