Default Re: Low libido may not be due to low testosterone (CNN article)

Does this mean that doctors will now start to pay more attention to thyroid and adrenal function? Nah, too simple, efficient and cost effective. Last time I checked Armour and Cortef were very cheap medications. Conspicuously absent from this study were the other tests that a thinking doctor would run. Also how much difference between each man's T level? I agree, this is more propaganda to discourage HRT. BTW, the reason why I demanded a workup for hypogonadism and treatment for the same had nothing to do with my libido. At one point, I was becoming so weakened and physically depleted that sex was the last thing on my mind. I was more worried about how I was going to make it out of bed and through each day. Whoever conducted this study deserves to be castrated. It pisses me off to no end that someone who should know better trivializes the importance of testosterone for a man's health by simply associating it with sex.
