muahah found something :| on wiki
Low Testosterone can be identified through a simple blood test performed by a laboratory, ordered by a physician. Normal testosterone levels are said to range from 298 - 1098 ng/dl, but most men with levels below 350 will benefit from treatment.[

with that TSH level i'd be more concerned with your thyroid... i'd ask the doc to check T3 (NOT T4) as T3 is the active hormone while T4 is only the 'storage' version of T3.

but yeah, for your age that test is probably low. I'd request testing for SHBG and free test as well to get a more definitive feel as to where you are in the range... You may have low overall test but low SHBG as well, contributing to higher free test than someone who scored a 700+ for test on their blood work yet has high SHBG...

You're definitely low, but I would hesitate in going on testosterone replacement therapy.

You do have some natural production of testosterone. Once you start TRT you won't be able to produce any on your own, as what will happen is your pituitary gland will sense this spike in T level and it will stop sending LH and FSH to your testicles so they'll completely shut down and atrophy.

Also gynecomastia can be caused both by too low or too high testosterone. The reason is testosterone metabolizes into estrogen. Many people only get gyno after going on TRT, so if you're looking at this as a cure for your gyno it may actually do the opposite.

If would be different if the endocrinology field had progressed enough to have a way to simulate the bodies natural balance mechanisms, but it hasn't. TRT is going to be like a rollercoaster for your body, a massive spike of testosterone followed by a low period. And you'll have to do this your whole life once you start. Not worth the hassle. 


uhm, thats not true is it? I'm pretty sure your own production gets supressed if the amount is over 500+ like roider amount?

generally tsh that high is prescribed T4... at least if its an endo you went to.  if this is a general practicioner he'll probably just scan past it.  you really want that probably between 1.5 and 2.

A Testosterone level (ng/l) is normal if it is anywhere between 300 and 1000 in a male.

At least that is what the overall figures say. The more correct answer would have to take into account the  age and general health of the person.

For example: I am in my 70's, A young man would logically have a Testosterone level twice mine and both of us would be in the "Normal" range.

It would seem that your level is not what it should be for your age. You really need to see an Endocrinologist to get a good evaluation of your lab results.

I called in Laurel Clinic Women where some guy name Dr.Vincent works hes suppose to be an expert. I was recommended by him from someone from another fourm they say he received his training from Dr. Greenblatt's who is now deceased and was a pioneer in hormone therapy for both men and women. And i called in, they had given me an email to msg my results of my t and tsh. I had sent the email today with my gyne
pics and how i feel with the reports ive taken. Im prolly going to call again tomm to see if they got the email.
What i jus realized is that the email was probably the lady that i was talking to not docter so she will prolly see my gyne
pics hope she knows what it is =[.
