Brief Answer:
Please get following tests done
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXX,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understand your concerns.
I request you to gt the following things done from nearby laboratory.
1. Serum testosterone
2.Serum prolactin
3. Lipid profile
4. USG abdomen with pelvis
These are the minimum considering the ever decreasing sexual drive and poor stream of urine. In case anything suggests otherwise we may need to go for further testing.
I look forward to assist you.
Thanks and regards.

Doctor,
i did the USG for abdomen one year back and it was ok. the lipid profile test was also done 2 days back and is as follows :
Triglyderide : 204 mg/dl
Cholestro : 184 mg/dl
HDl : 35 mg/dl
LDL : 101 mg/dl
VLDL : 48 mg/dl
the other tests i can do only next week so by that time the time to ask question will expire.
are the tests for testosterone and prolactin to be done in empty stomach ?
Do i need to do the USG again ?
My height is 5feet 10 inch and weight 88 kgs..

Brief Answer:
I think USG should be repated
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for follow up.
I do not think there is time limit for posting follow up query.
The tests can be done after 8 hours of fasting preferably in morning.
Regarding USG I need to see prostate size and related structures considering poor stream of urine and this need to be repeated.
Thanks again.
