Q: 

My Girlfriend may have low testosterone?

I watched one of your videos online and it mentioned the symptoms of low testosterone and she fit most if not all of then, shes depressed (on meds) low sex drive, and a few others I cant recall.

I live in Phoenix Arizona, what kind of place would I go to get her tested and what should I look for in a good and reputable doctor/facility.

Thanks.

Hi Anon,

 

Welcome to EmpowHER.  It might be important for your girlfriend to see a specialist, such a Endocrinologist who specializes in the physiological function of hormones.  Through blood work they will be able to check all the important levels of hormones in her body.

 

 

You may be able to make a first-time check-up visit to become familiar with your new doctor's style and range of services.  Word of mouth is a very effective way to find a suitable physician.

 

Contact your local medical referral service. Many cities offer a medical referral service that will try to connect you with a doctor that practices in your part of town or who specializes in diseases with match your symptoms. 

Best,

Daisy
