    I appreciate her time and her expertise. However I just feel like I am being treated based off some general overall treatment plan that they apply for everybody and I am being treated off of a number on a sliding scale rather than my actual symptoms. As men are hormones are all different and what is high for somebody is not high for me and what is low is somebody else's high. I think more careful consideration and forethought needs to be taken when caring for men's horemone related issues. Treat the symptoms and not the numbers.
