I have no idea which forum is appropriate for this topic. I'm not looking for medical advice, just boundary advice. My spouse and I have been having difficulties in our relationship (i.e. decreased libido, etc.) and so I convinced him to see his PCP for hormone testing. His free testosterone came back decreased. Based on my understanding, next step would be FSH and LH to evaluate his pituitary. His PCP told him that it was likely an issue with his adrenal gland (which seemed weird to me) and referred him to an endocrinologist who specializes in adrenal gland disorders and gave him an order for a scrotal US. I want him to call his PCP back and ask for an order for FSH, LH and prolactin so that when he goes to the lab for his US he can get the lab work too. Is that too overstepping? I just don't want to waste my husband's time with unnecessary back and forth to the lab and I feel like these tests will be the first thing the endocrinologist will want. Thanks in advance.
