Before you talk with your doctor about a blood test, you might want to read through our material on diagnosing low testosterone at <a href="http://www.seekwellness.com/andropause/c_do_you_have_low_testosterone.htm" target="_blank">http://www.seekwellness.com/andropause/c_do_you_have_low_testosterone.htm</a> ;<br> <br> The best information about whether or not you need testosterone may come from you in the form of a good list of your symptoms. Try completing our two self-quizzes and taking the results to your doctor. Here are the URLs:<br> <br> <a href="http://www.seekwellness.com/andropause/adam_quiz.htm" target="_blank">http://www.seekwellness.com/andropause/adam_quiz.htm</a><br> <br> <a href="http://www.seekwellness.com/andropause/ams_quiz.htm" target="_blank">http://www.seekwellness.com/andropause/ams_quiz.htm</a><br> <br> Once you and your doctor decide that treatment with supplemental testosterone is indicated, the doctor should perform further tests to rule out prostate cancer including a digital rectal exam and prostate specific antigen (PSA) level. These tests should be repeated at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and annually thereafter. Monitoring your health while on treatment is very important and more information about this process will be available at this Andropause Center in the next couple of weeks.
