how come doctors dont like to prescribe testosterone?

[LowT0311]

What are "hot spots" ? im considering TRT as my T level is at 140 on the first test then 5 days later and other blood test was done and it ended up comin back 266. Im 30, have nvr taken steroids dont know why its soo low. My doc hasnt said anything about a body scan ??? He is ready to put me on test cyp whenever I am.

Thanks

You will likely be lucky to get a doc to put you in the middle normal range anyway, your best bet is to seek out a TRT specialist. Normal docs dont treat for symptoms of low test, they treat for lab range.

Because hormone imbalances are very misunderstood in the general medical community, and there is VERY little education on that in medical school. The pharmaceutical industry rules the medical field, sadly, and it's a big moneymaker to let people live on with hormone problems, which they then treat with expensive blood pressure pills, or ED pills, or even cocktails of drugs to counteract symptoms of hormone imbalances or deficiencies. Imagine the economic destruction that would take place, if everyone had their hormones balanced perfectly, and the need for obesity-related disease treatments, and weight loss programs were no longer needed? Scary isn't it!
