My labs were screaming. My doctors weren’t listening.
Radiation treatment for prostate cancer left me with textbook hypogonadism — fatigue, low libido, tanked bioavailable testosterone, FSH nearly 3x the upper limit.
Classic symptoms. Clear labs.
And I was still dismissed. Repeatedly.
What finally worked? Walking into every appointment armed with knowledge. Understanding the difference between total T and bioavailable T. Knowing what SHBG and FSH actually mean. Pushing back — respectfully but firmly — until someone actually listened.
Don’t wait for a doctor to advocate for you. Do the work. Learn your labs. Ask the hard questions. Seek care elsewhere if you have to.
Your health is worth fighting for.
