Preparing for Endocrinologist Appointment

Tomorrow My first endo appt. at hospital but how to tell him/her about that finasteride effects - PFS - in a best way? Again I don’t know about medical language, and very lack of study/information.

So I dont know where to start.I feel complete idiot.I even cant explain why i took that drug i had full head of hair…

i ve finally found a lab that
covers all the tests we want
but could you please check
what " Androstendion " is on
the " HİRSUTİSMUS /
VİRİLİSMUS PANEL" ?
Is that covers 3 Adiol-g (3a -
Androstanediol Glucuronide)?

Most likely “Androstendion” is “Androstenedione”

This is NOT the same as 3alpha-androstanediol / 3-alpha-androstanediol-glucuronide (3a-diol G).

Call the lab to see if they offer those.

doc said there is no way to test for 3adiolG, DHT, even E2…in this country

i said 3 adiolg is the key for examinnig pfs. she even not know about finasteride. i gave her the “post your adiol g results thread” all that results are low low low of course.

so waiting for my bloodtest results.

You were never going to get 3 adiol g tested. It can only be done privately and it costs a fortune. Estradiol is also a very tough one.

maybe next years, i will come to US with a merchant vessel. I have some hope for getting 3 adiol g tested. but i have to FORGET the sides and my drug past. Ignorant is maybe the cure that we seek for.

Obviously your apt is completed. I would say to temper your expectations from what to expect from your endo. If this endo believes that finasteride caused your problems and is willing to work with you to alleviate some of the symptoms, I would say you have done very well. I went through a ton of doctors before I could even find one to work with. In the end it really provided no improvement for me at all.

Why do people here want to test for 3 adiol g so badly. Even if you hav a result that shows that your 3 adiol g is not ok what are you going to do. What kind of medicine helps to bring back your 3 adiol g to a normal level?

Because it seems to be a marker for PFS. Same with vit D.

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5790 updating results btw…

Has there been anyone with PFS that had normal 3 adiol g?

Hahahahaha. It’s not often anything on this site makes me smile and but this is fantastic. You are either very ignorant or have balls mate. Are you saying that you showed her this website and that thread on her computer in the doctor’s office?

You have absolutely charmed me. I think you will get better but you just need to be patient. Keep doing this sort of thing, seriously. If you have the guts to keep going to doctors and showing them things then DO THAT. You might not get the help you need but you will get a load regular blood tests, viagra, cialis etc which put you in the best position of finding something wrong to treat and keeping your dick working.

i have waited 2 years without doing anything. last week i started proviron.

?

Estradiol (E2) appears on that checklist (The last image)

It also shows progesterone and aldosterone. Ask for both of those to be check. ACTH too if she’ll let you.

she has also ordered some thyroid tests… (anti-bodies, free t4 & tsh.)
also she said that i am in range with 323 Total T(300-1200) & 10 Free t(9-55) …

Also visited urologist he said my testicles are both OK. Nice size and shape,

they thought “i am healthy, with little hypothroidism, everything is o.k.”
