    Default Physician or Trichologist for Testost. Levels??

    Hi guys! I'm originally from Canada but living in London, England right now and anyone from the area with experience in this that can give some advice is hugely appreciated.
    I just wanted to get my testosterone levels checked and I've never done it before, so my question is do I go to a regular physician to do the tests or do I have to go to a trichologist?

    Also, what kind of tests should I get? Is there a link or thread with this info? I stopped taking propecia after 5 1/2 months of using it because I was getting moderate side effects but after 1 1/2 years being off it I'd like to go back on but not before getting my testost. levels checked.

    Thanks again!

    You may want to consider checking your hormone ( Testosterone/Estrogen/ DHT/ect.) using a saliva panel. They tend to be more accurate than blood testing methods. To make sure I often recommend saliva and blood testing and compare the results. You will probably have to find a anti-aging or age management doctor to find the saliva testing.

    thanks for the reply! I will book an appointment with a physician soon and see fi they are able to refer me to a doctor that does this kind of saliva testing.
