Please provide me more details.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for asking from HCM

I can understand your concern, but need more details of your problem. You have mentioned that your behaviour appears girlish and you have tried to change yourself but are not getting any improvement.

Do you feel significant stress due to that? Do you feel that your behaviour is girlish or its observation of others?

You are married and have one child. Any problems in sexual intercourse you had or are having?

Have you gone through hormonal profile tests?

Thanks. Please provide the details in follow up.

Take care

Brief Answer:
Get serum testosterone and prolactin levels done

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for providing details

You have distress due to your behaviour and this means the problem is egodystonic. The behaviour developed due to environmental, psychological factors over the years. You have to accept the problem and have to try to find the ways to come out of the problem.

First of all since you are a happily married male then build your confidence that the external behaviour will not impact your inner manly behaviour. Increase your confidence. Due to your poor confidence it is appearing to you that others are judging your behaviour.

Get Serum Testosterone, Prolactin levels done. The normal levels will rule out any hormonal cause.

Avoid any hormonal pills or injections for treatment because on long term these cause adverse effects.

Make exercise a routine, heavy exercise will help to build muscle and will improve the testosterone levels. This will improve your appearance.


Increase the dietary use of Proteins and complex carbs. Avoid fried or fatty foods.

You can take herbal medicines like Tantex Forte and Confido. These medicines will improve the hormonal levels and libido. This will build the confidence.

Thanks. TAKE CARE

Hi Doctor,
Sorry to bother. What is the name of the test?
Do i go to lab and ask them serum testerone and prolactin levels or ?
I checked online should i also check estrogen levels checked ?

Pls advise. Or should i ask them for a full blood picture and that would show all these information?

Brief Answer:
Serum Prolactin and Serum Testosterone levels.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again

The tests are Serum Prolactin and Serum Testosterone levels.

No need to go for Estrogen levels. Normal levels of Testosterone and Prolactin will rule out any hormonal issue grossly.

I don't think there is need to go for some other test related to blood as far as your issue is concerned.

Thanks. Take care
