im 22 and just found out that I have low testosterone and waiting to go to an endocrinologist. Iv read a lot about it on the internet but just wondering if anybody has experienced this. for about 6 months iv been tired 90% of the time, get light headed, have bad anxiety, and have lost my sex drive which is getting in the way of any potential relationships i could be having in college.
Iv read people testimonies and most of them said they feel like they have just started to really live there life once they get this problem taken care of. If anybody has experienced this please let me know what do expect and what the doctor did to higher your testosterone levels.Also, iv gotten man boobs over the last couple of years and not sure if it is gynocomastria but will increasing my testosterone help with this?

Well I think you are making a great choice in seeing an endocrinologist rather than a urologist, they will be able to help you so much more.
As far as treatment goes there are many different options so it's important to talk to your doctor about all the options available and what the side effects, downsides, and risks to all of those are. If they recommend you go with one particular treatment, ask them why they recommend that over other treatments.
One of the common treatments that many guys get right away are injections. I hated these. They have a tendancy to give very uneven and sporatic results. They jack you up with hormones, level off, then drop before you get your next injection. So it's like a rollarcaoster.
Androgel is something I've heard from other guys who have had low T and I tried it and this is what I use now. I love it. I put it on once a day after I get out of the shower and I have very smooth and even results. I don't have the ups and downs the shots gave me. I like that it is a more level treatment and I feel the most normal while I'm on it.
Gynocomastia is only concidered gynocomastia in serious cases, not in just "puffy nipple" cases that happen to most men. This condition is caused to an increase in estrogen levels, not a decrease in testosterone. Although depending on what caused the low T, that could have contributed to the gynocomastia. Ask your doctor about that and see what they say.
I wouldn't say my treatment made me start living my life, I would say it allowed me to be the person I was before I started having problems. It didn't enhance me, just made me, me again.
