Does testosterone have any influence on tsh , does it raises thyroid function or decreases it ?

Correct: Taking testosterone can decrease Thyroid Binding Protein (TBP) so total T4 (and some "free" T4) test(s) can look low. Your endocrinologist will do a free T4 index or a "free" T4 that TBG changes do not influence.
