Were these labs taken at a Labcorp location? Assuming that they were, you may not have anything to worry about at all. Your free T looks great but more importantly, if this wasn't the sensitive estradiol assay, yours is actually going to be lower than this. Many doctors do not understand that the standard assay for estradiol is not the correct test to order for male patients. It tends to overstate estradiol levels. It's even spelled out in the description of the test on Labcorp's website. It sta…

Eh, some of them certainly have their benefits when used responsibly, but there's also a pretty stout list of short and long terms health issues that can stem from the use of AAS. Potential users need to weigh the pros and cons, and do a TON of research before deciding to use them. It's rarely as simple as it sounds, and there are a lot of "wrong" ways to use steroids. If used responsibly and the person knows what they're in for, I've got no issues.

Just an FYI, that's your total testosterone, not free testosterone. I'd look for another doctor if I were you. There are definitely doctors out there who will treat you.

How low are we talking here?

""Would highly appreciate an explanation on these things, there is no definite answer out there on google. One site says Oestrogen is good for a man/normal another says it makes you a little bitch. I don't know what to believe."" Both are somewhat correct. Estradiol is necessary for males to maintain a healthy hormonal balance, but when estradiol is too high or too low, problems will occur. If it's too low, symptoms such as achy joints, lethargy, ED, long term bone density issues, etc., will occ…

Damn dude, I would strongly advise against this. TRT is typically a lifelong treatment. It's a gigantic commitment. With a total T of ~650, nobody is going to prescribe TRT for you. If you decide to self medicate you'll be screwing with a well functioning endocrine system. That has serious repercussions on your long term health.

In my opinion, a urologist is the best doctor to see about this sort of thing. Many endos are great at managing thyroid, diabetes, and female hormone imbalances, but terrible at understanding and treating male hormone abnormalities. To be honest, it matters less what type of doctor they are and much more about their understanding of male hormones. GP, uro, endo, whatever. As long as they are up to date on male hormones treatments.

At your age its very important to figure out why your levels are so low. Talk to your doctor about having some detailed bloodwork to see if he can find the root cause.

I have no doubt that your lifestyle changes played a role in raising your T values, but it's important to note that T values can fluctuate quite a bit regardless of changes made to diet and lifestyle. It's a very volatile hormone. Any change to your free T values from this? That's where you'd really want to see some changes.

I'm on TRT. It has been a very positive experience for me so far, and my quality of life has improved greatly. While many people may feel that "big pharma" is just trying to cash in, and I don't doubt that at all, TRT has made it possible for many guys to improve their quality of life and decrease their risk for other serious health issues. For those using insurance it can be a very affordable treatment, so it's not a big deal for them to give the pharma companies a small fee.

Unless you're insurance covers a large portion of the cost, then I can completely understand the desire to see a doctor instead of a private lab. I've had 5 or 6 complete rounds of bloodwork done through my doctor/insurance and it didn't cost me a dime. If I had used a private lab it would have cost me thousands.

You can always contact the lab and get your results from them. They probably won't give you any information over the phone but if you go there in person, they'll print you a copy.

The study used a very small sample size, only 28 men. I'm not saying that completely discredits their findings, but it's definitely something to keep in mind. The study also only measured serum T levels, not free T. Total T is not nearly as important as free T. Total T is already bound to SHBG and albumin. Free T is unbound and thus available to "work" for you. Also, having a 146 percent increase in T levels sounds great, but if it only stays high for a day or so there really aren't too many ben…

Privatemdlabs is a great option for those with crappy/no insurance. My health insurance covers 100% of lab work though, so it's good to check with your insurance carrier before getting labs drawn.

It's illegal for a doctor to withhold your bloodwork results from you. When labs are drawn, ask for a copy from your doctor or the lab. They'll give them to you.

The OTC products that you are hearing on the radio are not effective, but treatment with exogenous testosterone is proven to work. It may take some protocol tweaking to get dialed in and minimize side effects, but it works and is very safe when used responsibly. For men with hypogonadism, it can fix and prevent a host of conditions/diseases.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
