Exclamation Can a Cold affect Testosterone Labwork
I'm scheduled to get some lab work done. (Test, FT, E2, LH, etc) However, I have started to come down with a cold.

Should I put off the tests or will the lab work be unaffected by the cold? Also, if I go to the Dr. and they give me antibiotics, will they affect my scheduled testosterone tests?

Thanks.

It might raise your white blood cell count a little. Go get your test.

It is always best to have lab testing done when you are at the "norm." In this case, wait for the cold to resolve. This would be best left to the physician. a concern i have is far too many posters look for a reason to explain their lab tests. What would you think if the results were normal?
