his dr said he doesnt need HRT, but my dad has BAD sleep quality where he will sleep for about 4-5hrs soem nights and not ever fall back to sleep,

no sex drive at all

and when asked about his erectyle disfunction he said well if i even cared about sex i could tell you if it worked........

he has a very good endocrynologist that hes used in the pastshoudl he take the bloodwork numbers to him and see if he will recommend HRT or just not get HRT at all?

Hmmm. Well, we both know he'd benefit from some hrt. I've tried convincing my dad to get checked out. He has constant health problems, nagging colds, irratic sleep etc etc. He has one ruptured testicle and who knows how much test he is producing at this point. I've offered him advice on this and he just replies that he hates seeing doctors. I guess in the end it's up to your dad. But, it sounds like a little hrt is in order imo.
