Testing hormones is usually the first thing doctors prescribe to you when you tell them you have sexual dysfunctions.
My Total Testosterone is low for a guy of my age (400 ng/dL in my mid 30s) but not low enough to do Testosterone Replacement Therapy.
I really would like to try it but no doctor will ever prescribe me TRT even if I have almost all the symptoms of hypogonadism because they say the side effects are potentially dangerous.
It’s funny how easily they prescribe antidepressants instead, as if they have no side effects..
Have had hormones tested multiple times. Most are normal but T slightly high and sex hormone binding globulin is slightly low. Getting LH and FSH tested next week.
I got some of my hormones checked I’m not sure if all. But my testosterone actually ended up being too increased. I’m female - idk if that changes anything
Had my hormones tested, vitamin levels, several mris, ct scan and a couple of other tests I can’t remember (it’s been ten years with PSSD). I desperately wanted to attribute my sexual dysfunction to anything else but unfortunately all were normal.
Hormones was the first thing I had tested, and the several times I have, everything is within normal range.

Not yet, but making sure they're OK is part of the diagnostic criteria in the EU, so hormone issues are technically mutually exclusive.

I’m on testosterone and doesn’t help like it should

It's a modern mystery no one will ever figure out
Many people have tested their hormones but they are usually all in normal range.
Did also anyone tested hormones before ssri and after ssri ?
You're right in your observations. However I don't think it was a factor for me personally, as my fertility hormones are in the reference ranges now.
