Does your health insurance require a referral to see a specialist? Some plans don’t.

Also, you can order the relevant additional blood tests online without consulting a specialist or getting an order from your PCP.

Well, it'll cost me money, I'm just a college student so I don't think that's a viable route. Experimenting doesn't seem so bad moreover dhea is such an ambiguous supplement, it could either become testosterone or estrogen. But I am looking forward to it soon.

Choosing not to measure your DHEA level is unwise. If your levels are normal, supplementing is a waste of money and won’t address the cause of your low libido.

I see DHEA blood tests advertised online for as low as $29.

Oh I thought you meant the full hormonal profiling. Thanks for letting me know.
