Is there any Doctor that can provide a comprehensive list of blood tests a person with gynecomastia can have done to rule out any hormonal problems pre-surgery?

I know this is often considered not necessary but I don't mind paying for full testing just to be a hunded per cent sure! Some of the ones I have come across are below. It would be helpful to know if any of these are completely unnecessary or whether there are also other tests I have missed out.

  • SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)
  • TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)
  • HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin)
  • Serum Dehydropiandrosterone
  • Total testosterone
  • Free Testosterone
  • Estradiol
  • LH (Lutenizing Hormone)
  • FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone)
  • Prolactin
  • Thyroxine
  • Oestrogen


Thanks!

I'm wondering if DHT  (dihydrotestosterone) would be a worthwhile test and if a low DHT allows more testosterone to convert to estradiol.
