The only doc who has ever asked me about therapy was a pain intervention specialist. I am assuming you are referring to going to a GP and not a PDOC. Since people usually see PDOCs because they want meds, you may be going in the wrong direction if you want to avoid them. But my general doc has never asked me about T or hammered me to take any kind of meds, much less MEDS.

I think the conversation that Ellie proposed is a realistic and easy one. It shouldn't be more than that. Docs aren't trained in mental health issues, there are few reasons for them to want to inquire about it, and a check up isn't likely to be one of them.
Thanks for this!
