17yo or 40yo?: Start w/your family doc. Tell him/her what's going on that makes you think you need testosterone help. There are many conditions that masquerade as low T. Work on these first as it's very uncommon to diagnose low T in a 17yo. If you're 40yo, that's another issue although there are still other diseases to consider before talking about treatment options. Also need to consider future fertility.

Your doctor: Hi. Without knowing what problem with testosterone you have, I don't know what "testosterone help" you need. Testosterone is a controlled substance due to high abuse potential by body builders. You need to see your physician (who may refer you to an endocrinologist), to determine what, if any, problem exists. Knowing what the problem is, solutions can be considered. Good luck!
