Low Testosterone: Do You Need To Take A Supplement? 

wow awesome you thre docs and this video is so informative. I am glad you also mention the side effects bc some men just think they can take it like that but you need to watch it carefully. Once again you incredible team, you did good work and I am happy I found you!

I've been on testosterone topical medication for many years. My doctor at work first diagnosed what she thought was the problem and I talked to my PCP. He agreed and put me on topical gel. At that point my T level was way below normal. Since the time when I started the medication, my T levels have increased but at best are just average. I do have more energy and my libido has definitely increased. I came down with a urinary tract infection last fall and my PSA numbers skyrocketed. This is not unusual. My PCP took me off the meds and referred me to a urologist. He explained the situation and performed a blood draw. By that time the infection was over and my PSA was back to normal levels. I went back on the medication at that point in time. Great video. Thanks for showing it.

Good evening docs .The last videos and this one were exceptional . Very good information you all are knocking it out of the park thank you .

Thank you, Doctors!! Good info.

This guy is old school. My test was 540 and free was 5.6. On treatment injections 5 weeks and wow the difference. I can get out of the chair now and look forward to finding a job. Don't let any doctor tell you you are at ok levels. Life changing! There is no normal level. None of us are normal. Get treated until you feel great ir get a new doctor. BTW 63 years old here. I am not ready to be an old man.

Awesome video,thanks for the info 💪💪

Glad you have my back. I feel really confident.

Thanks men! Very helpful insights...

Lots of really good information. One of the things we can't avoid from old age. Great point about the life style issues affecting the symptoms so much. Eat less, eat better and exercise----the big 3 for making a difference in our lives for any age.

Thank you doctors you guys been doing so much for the people health

Great video. So glad I found this channel.

Thank you!!! Thank you for the information much appreciated!! I

Great info, Thank you!

DRE and the gesture. Too good.

Thanks for this Doc’s … Dr. Casey’s yet another Rock Star 🎉

I changed my lifestyle at 61 and now Im 64 and hav way more energy and and my blood pressure is normal now and have been able to delete some meds out because of it ❤ Thank docs !😊

Thanks for the great video. I'm subscribed! I've definitely seen a decrease in muscle mass and energy from age 40 to 48. I'm aging quickly in just about every way, but still have "the drive" if you know what I mean. Is it possible to have low T but still be working well in that department??

You two are amazing, I listen, learn and laugh too. You're making sense of all the 'VOODOO', Thank you !

Excellent helpful video. Blessings

Thanks guys. Really enjoy videos like this. There are way too many ''doctors'' OR ''MDs'' on RU-vid who it turns out are chiropractors, but who give advice on diet and other fields they have no knowledge of!

My testosterone levels were in the normal range for my age. But my free testosterone was on the low side. Cypionate every two weeks and I’m golden 💪🏼. Definitely need to stay active for results. Or as active as your particular age allows. Edit; I’m 60 but everyone says I look 59.5 😂.

Happy Easter and Passover Docs! Love this 3some..you guys have great banter!

Happy Easter, Doctors

I nearly died from having diabetes. During the time I was dealing with diabetes I suffered from hypogonadism while other symptoms occurred. After I was released I changed my diet. However I was low-T and working out did nothing. I'm familiar with TRT so I went the supplement route and I feel a world of difference everyday since. I take Weider Test booster along with L-Arginine and L-Citrulline in the morning. I take Creatine HCL. I also take magnesium glycate which was the missing piece because the calcium from the test booster was not getting carried throughout my body and I had stiffness and magnesium fixed that. I'm shopping for a new doctor but this route changed my life. Literally doing a 180. I cut my portions in half, fasted, and tried to do all the work around the house I can. I saw someone I hadn't seen in years and they were like you really lost weight from the last time I saw you. I don't snack. I reduced how much sugar I eat. Now my sugar stays around the 90s.I think once I return to the gym I will see an even greater improvement.

New to your channel. I'm 50 years old and my T levels are 296ng/gl but it was only taken at 4pm. This was informative. My MD doesn't seem to want to do anything about it.

So appreciate that you guys always recommend lifestyle changes first--diet and exercise.

One thing which is never mentioned regarding men who although might have normal range testosterone levels, but want peak testosterone levels. I’m 36, healthly, not a bodybuilder but I consider myself one level down from that. I recently got my blood work done, and my PCP insisted I don’t need to take testosterone because my levels were in “normal” range. That being said, I’m certainly not producing the peak levels of testosterone that I was a decade earlier at 26, and I notice the lack/plateau of strength that I used to have at those peak levels when I was younger. Why is it seemingly frowned upon or discouraged to start taking testosterone in order to achieve peak levels again? Especially when done the right way through a doctor with supervision? I’m not asking for super human levels outside of a healthy range, I would just rather do something to go from normal to peak normal. Any thoughts???

AWESOME gentlemen!!! Well done:)✌️❤️💪

Thank you for this video! I'm 58 and have "Pre-Diabetes" Metabolic syndrome. Because of this I didn't want to just start some GNC type of thing. I've got an appointment to talk to a Urologist that was recommended by my Cardiologist.

My husband just got diagnosed after blood work… he is not at all over weight and doesn’t drink and has a physical job. He feels like crap….hope we can find something to work without any serious side effects he’s only 50

Just wondering if Dr Casey can remember our workouts (2005-2006). Hope all’s well Doc’ and you’re still including the deadlifts in your workouts. Mike Donnelly.

Another good set of info, especially to advocate against self-medication with all the OTC supplements that are continuously hawked on the TV! Thanks again to the guys and Dr. Casey!

My T was 150 and I felt like Hell with many symptoms. Got a full workup just like these docs said and I've been on topical stuff for 2 months. Dudes, don't ignore your health.

I was taking TRT but my liver enzymes were elevated & at the advice of my urologist I stoped it. It’s been 6 months and enzymes are normal, but diminished strength and sex drive. Frustrating.

As usual, good professional advice presented in easy to understand words.

Thanks again Docs for all you do. On the subject of testosterone it would have been helpful to give information on the numbers that would be consider normal, low are high. I think most men start to think about their levels around 50-ish. Most guys don't even know their numbers because a lot of our primary Docs don't order that blood test unless you ask them.

Wow verbatim what I've been though! Doctor prescribed testosterone depot injections 5 years ago age 41. I had several symptoms including depression and zero libido. The injections are fine, never had depression since, libido is sky high as is my blood count lol and I actually had a venesection over the weekend. TRT has been a magic bullet for me I gotta say. Lot of of symptoms have been resolved👍

Thanks docs My husband sleeps and sleeps 8 or more hours at night and always 1-2 and more hours in the afternoon He is 80 little energy, very depressed not overweight no smoking drinking minimal. His memory suddenly started going, asking several times a day what day it is. This all started a few yeRs ago the sleeping. We will talk to our doc and ask to be referred to a urologist. Thanks he really needs help.

Interesting video and guest. I have some feedback about the text that comes up during the video that is accompanied by the abrupt whooshing noise. I find that noise pretty distracting and even kind of jarring when I am watching the video. Putting up the words is cool, but at least for me, I would really prefer not to have the accompanying whooshing sound. I hope you don't take this as criticism, just some feedback. You guys are my favorites. I actually like the quiet, low-tech, format of your videos. Your content is so good, you don't need any bells and whistles. Just you standing there and talking is kind of relaxing to watch, also. Happy Easter.

Dr. Casey-Prostate calcification. What are the causes, treatments and preventions?

Hi Docs, Great subject and Dr. Casey was right on. I’m a perfect example. Four years ago I was diagnosed with dangerously low testosterone. My symptoms were not pleasant. Fatigue…no energy…absolutely lethargic…wanted to sleep and took long naps…my libido was missing in action…I was losing muscle mass but putting weight on…and worst of all, I was losing hair. You guys no about that. My curly locks were going down the drain little by little. Full disclosure, I’m 73, 5’10”, 172lbs but I wasn’t getting enough exercise. So my MD gave a choice to me. Gel or injections. I chose the needle. Every two weeks my wife says bend over so she can practice her darts. I do try to make sure she’s happy and for good reasons. Happy wife, happy life and my derrière is thankful for that. Getting the right dosage took a couple/three months to maintain a healthy level. The good news is that the shot is an easy one. Unless you’ve angered your better half. The needle is 1 1/2” 22 gauge and there’s not much feeling in the rear as long as the shot is in the right spot. And the best news is my libido wasn’t dead after all, it was just taking a long nap. 😉🙋‍♂️

I had a kidney stone pass years ago and yes it was worse than labor. I have more but they haven’t been doing anything. My son his first one at 18 and he said, “Thanks Mom!”, when the urologist told him it could be hereditary.

Didn't Andrew Pause play second base for the Cubs back in '52 ?

- if someone is young, 40 years old or you get, and has low T, it’s imperative a work up for a pituitary related issue is completed. If fact, anyone younger than 40 years old should be considered for an MRI to rule out a pituitary issue. I was surprised the urologist did not mention low T in young persons is much different than low T in older people.

how do I find a good knowledgeable doctor in New Jersey for TRT? a lot of doctors in my area just don't know enough about the new information of TRT treatment.

A lot of good information. The “normal” total testosterone in a male ranges from 350ng/dl to 1,150ng/dl. The 26yr old bodybuilder Dallas McCarver who died in 1991 had a total testosterone level of 5,500ng/dl at autopsy, and believe high doses may have attributed to his heart issues. I mention this only because most urologists will try and target a man 45 years and older at around 700ng/dl. My total testosterone was at 30ng/dl before starting therapy. Note that most medical insurance companies consider TRT as a non necessary treatment, and the Andeogel gel packs are over $600/box for a one 30day supply w/o insurance, whereas a 10cc/200/mg bottle of injectable testosterone is only $50/bottle for a 30 day supply. It was recommended by my GP that I start TRT when I turned 50, due to being tired and lack of sex drive. I took it for five years and felt great until I turned 55, and started getting severe tendinitis in both knees. When I turned 60, I was working under my car in the driveway, and when I went to get up I blew the quadriceps tendon in both knees. The first thing my o/s ( orthopedic surgeon) asked as i was a 60 yr old male who presented with bilateral QTR (Quadricep Tendon Ruptures) was I on TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy). She said nearly 99% of the Bilateral QTR repairs she does are on men over 45 who have been on long term TRT, and over 80% of unilateral QTR repairs are also performed on men over 45 who are on long term TRT. My o/s explained that long term use of TRT can cause the tendons to weaken. This can occur in other tendons throughout the body, such as elbows, but is more prevalent in the quad tendons pulling away from the patella, as it takes the most stress, and is used throughout the day. I belong to a Facebook Group for patients recovering from QTR surgery. It was started only 3 yrs ago, and already have over 1,000 members. Over 95% of the group are men over 45 who were on TRT. What is truly odd is that Bilateral QTR’s should be statistically rare in cases outside of an accident, and yet 30% of our group are bilateral. Apparently, if the tendons are weakens and pull away from the patella, performing any daily activity like standing up, walking down stairs, or running can cause the quad tendon to just pull away from the patella without any warning. Recovery and rehabilitation from this injury is supposed to take six months,however it appears most members are taking anywhere from 1-2 years before they feel anywhere close to pre injury. However you are dealing with patients who are generally all over 45, and so it would naturally take longer to recover from. Anyway, I would strongly suggest that anyone considering TRT, do their due diligence and ask questions.

Look how great these guys look ! The answer is yes

I’m 75, and 5 months past the end of androgen deprivation therapy (and radiation) from PCa, my T baseline in my recent blood test was only 4 ng/dL - close to zero! I have all the symptoms of low T, I would love to get my levels back up, but my urologist thinks it’s too risky (prostate cancer cells thrive in the presence of testosterone). I’m still looking for a good opinion about whether it is safe to elevate T post-PCa treatment…

Good luck finding a dr willing to treat you. No matter how low it is.

thanks

Been having ED for 15 years and at 62.5 started having issues with fatigue. Did a 'lets get tested' test and it came back 230. Went in to the specialist and one test was 243 and the third was 213. Globulin is at 13 and LH is 3. I have moderately high blood pressure which is treated with atenanol/chlorthaladone 25 mg/day. Hemocrit is at 47.3. Prolactin is normal, hemoglobin is 15.7. I don't drink or smoke. Have to watch what i eat so i don't get another flare up of gout in my right big toe. Consequently I'm drinking a lot of water with lemon. I would love to loose at least 50 lbs. I have no use for erections. My brother died of prostate cancer after battling it for 15 years. Not sure if i want to monkey with TRT. Is it worth it at this point? Probably just keep monitoring the levels. Unrelated FYI, I took over making the Urastop/ppstop for male incontinence after Paul Davis passed on.

been doing TRT for 9 yrs here in Ontario, I was tested ( before 10 am ) and had Total T levels below the normal range... and all I got from several DR's here was lectures about juiced up athletes and dire warnings of heart attacks and strokes....so i have paid out of pocket from my treaments for my deficiency... significant improvements in health and well being.. including weight loss retention of muscle mass ( continue to WO several times a week) ... for which my regular DR said .."it's just a placebo effect" and continues to refuse to acknowledge improvements ....I am not a DR so this is not medical advice just personal experience.. I also tested relatively high for estradiol...bring that down significant improved what I would call chronic prostate discomfort.. for which my DR was happy to prescribe "antibiotics" for yrs... Have not touch an AB since either.. as far as hemo goes monitored 2 x a year if it gets a little elevated.. simply donate blood and all is fine .. am 66 .. am not 25 anymore but i am the best 66 I can be...healthy and physically active and sleep well .. the only other med is a thyroid pill.. I have no doubt without the T they would have me on all sorts of pills for depression sleep, prostate pain.. and since I would be fat and lazy... how about diabetes or other metabolic disease... not to forget higher risk for heart disease and cancer ......sadly the mythology created by a long discredited and redacted study published in JAMA in November 2013 that said TRT was associated with increase risk of heart attack and stroke still has some negative impact ( although as mentioned has been discredited and deleted from publication) ......In my experience properly monitored and supported it has been a significant improvement to my quality of life . I am not "juiced up" and well within normal ranges.. no DR could ever tell from my blood work that I am on TRT ( except when my Hemo count gets a little on the high side, but as mentioned easily and effectively managed through blood donation.. win/win for all concerned). My perception is the Ministry of Health in Ontario would prefer to see me sick and on a selection of pills...

How about XXY Klinefelter syndrom. There's loads of men unaware of their condition that have it and therefore have much lower Testo levels.

Thanks guys the video's are always so good. Quick question, what about the OTC for low testosterone? I see a lot of pill form, and as Dr. Casey pointed out, pill form are useless and go right through the body. I looked and found only a couple topical types none are approved or even tested by health Canada but would they be trash snake oil too or would they have some benefit?

So a blood screening showed very low testosterone. So who do you go to for treatment? A Urologist or an Endocrinologist. Thanks

What do you think about Test boost max, I’ve tried it but, I don’t feel anything much. I was naturally at 650 about a year ago and I’m 57. I still feel sluggish and lack energy a lot, what should I do. I’m 6’1 215-not really over weight??

Mine is low waiting results of second test, no idea what expect from my Gp, any help please

Doc im 25 and have a vercocele had a Testosterone test that's very low still have somewhat high libido.

Hi, if you go on TRT, you never can go back? Is this true?

Would testicle trauma be a factor in dropping T levels? I have “grown”two large cysts I guess after having one of my testicles ruptured and now they are very sensitive. Also have noticed a few small, hard knots on the epidenti……..🤷🏻‍♂️the tubes and stuff the sperm travels through.

I'm an older guy, test is in the high range, but I'm being told (by non-doctors) that what I need to know id my "free" testosterone, my PCP doesn't feel that is a thing, what's the deal?

I’m surprised they didn’t reference untreated sleep apnea.

I had low T recorded at 271. I found this guide that you guys might find useful. Following the guide for 4 months im now at 586 and wont be needing TRT just yet. Its called complete guide to testosterone by james francis

I’m 65, extremely healthy, bmi:22, exercise daily, but testosterone normally around 300 ng/ldl (low end of normal) Every 4 or 5 months I get pellets inserted and get T around 1000ng/dl. Mood improves, desire improves, energy improves, running better … everything better. I can tell when I’m running low. I know at 65 300bg/dl isn’t bad .. but I like feeling 18 again …I get PSA’s every 6 mo and it’s been steady at 0.8 for years.

Happy Easter Doc’s! Dr Casey is great!

I had two cardiogenic shock heart attacks I died two times 418.23 I'm trying to get back into shape and I think I should start some testosterone which I used to take about $200 and milligrams every three times a week I was bench pressing like 500 and now I can't even bench press 50 lbs how do I get to the office

No discussion of SHBG or Andradial. What gives?

I have a level of 11 and 210 at age 48. Too me thats exceptionally low. And yes i have some symptoms. My docter says im in the normal level, my pharmacist vehemently disagrees with him. I work out and stay active.

What about the T supplements……good or bad v’s injections or tropical remedies?

How about 25-50 mg. of dhea supplement/ day? Is it safe for the prostate?

Hey docs, can you do a video about the Roemheld Syndrome? I had that and was one of the scariest thing ever.

I've had low testosterone and problems with my libido for your years and it has devastated my life and I cant find a doctor who can help me. I keep hanging in there but honestly think about ending it a lot. I just want to feel normal

I'm really sensitive to testosterone....If I stop training (weights) then my test drops off a cliff.... A good reason to stay fit 😊

What does it mean testosterone?? Well now I’ve learned about it thanks docs and doctor Casey.😊

Hey docs I’m a 32 yr old male with a testosterone level of 300 and my prolactin was 23 my doc wants to put me on test and a pill for the prolactin could I lower the prolactin level and raise my test by working out I just don’t want to take these pills or get the test shot

My doctor barely wants to even talk to me about it. He said I can give you a referral to a specialist but he won’t help you either. Pretty frustrating.

Oral T is NOT desroyed in the stomach. It's absorbed into the blood, but something like 80% of it is metabolized by the liver on the furst pass, so you have to keep redosing all day to maintain a level which overworks the liver and leads to temptation to use too much which just exacerbates the danger. Injections or cutaneous are a more controlled and steady release. I think cutaneous can give more of a natural cycle when applied in the morning. The problem with supplemental T is that adding T screws up the feedback loop of the H-P-A axis. Your "thermostat" is telling your body yoyre making pkenty, because that's what it sees, so it makes less. If you adjust it up again, it just lowers your natural output. This leads to a downward spiral of how much of your own T you make vs. how much you supplement. Often, as in my own case, there's a rise in PSA levels and the docs want to start doing prostate biopsies before they look at the history of your levels and when they rose and how fast but a good urologist will consider this before insisting on a biopsy. Stopping the supplemental T should tesult in PSA returing in-range within 2 years, according to the science...as it did with me, saving an unnecesary biopsy. My uroligist works for NASA now. Barring some reason like your testes not working or you having an issue with the endocrine system that can't be fixed or illness that requires meds that lower T production, etc, you can raise your natural T by eating right, abd that does NOT mean a low fat diet. All sex hormones come from cholesterol, going through several other intermediate hormones first, like DHA and androstenedione. Both strenth training and aerobic training are beneficial. A balanced diet is critical to complement the training to work toward a healthy body composition as is lowering sugars and alcohol, and other empty calories. Evem manipulating ones own mood, making an efgirt to feel piwerful and confident gives you more T, which in turn makes you more powerful, confident, ambitious, clear-headed and focused, alliwing you to ficus and accoplish whatever your goals are, which in turn makes you more confident, more in control of your environment and gives you more T production. Beat your chest like a gorilla, stomp around like a drill seargeant some. Back down a mean dog, complete that project at work, help someone with a problem, do something you've been putting off...accomplish anything, esoecialky if it was sonething you thought you couldnt do.. then tear your shirt off and scream like the Hulk. Gorilla stomps are your friend. Cruciferous vegetables eaten raw or lightly steam help too. Its like a smile being contagious...the more you tell yourself you can, even if you feel at first you can't the closer you get to where you will... and you'll have all the T you need. It all feeds on itself and builds momentum whichever way you have it going , up or down. Or continue on the downhill slope with your metabolic snowball until you approach metabolic syndrome, extreme obesity, lack of drive and focus. Body fat is a metabolic organ that converts T to estrogens via an enzyme called aromatase. Estrogen makes you fatter, that's why big girls have big boobs, and why bodybuiders that overdo the T get tits....gynomastia With the mood component, you really can "fake it 'till you make it". The more success you see the more you'll feel and so on. I took the same bloodwork every 3 mos recovering my natural T production as I had when I was using the Androgel because when my GP took me off the supplement I told him I'd been doing some reading about restoring your production naturally and if course ge said no hsrm in tracking progress ...my test results had me back in-range the upper end of natural levels within a year and my PSA normal in 2 years, just as the science shows. Mood DOES affect T because stress increases cortisol and cortisol makes belly fat, converting some T you have to estradiols, making more fat. Making an effort to boost your mood lowers stress and ...well if you've read this far, you get it. Knowledge is power! You're in the biggest library ever in existence, use it.

Bonus Doc 😮

How often are you supposed to take shots and how much the right way. I'm taking testosterone shots every two weeks. Is that good. I'm 58

Did they leave out hair loss as a side effect?

Fantastic information, guys. 43 y.o., 87 Total/ 2.8 Free. I am starting 200 TRT injectables this week after my bloodwork came back so bad. Also I have slightly below normal hemoglobin levels. I'm 43, not overweight, no smoking, medium drinking, decent diet, sleep well but stress is pretty high due to work. I have felt lethargic and have no libido and ED for a few years now. Due to my age and terrible score, should I be concerned about pituitary issues or anything else? I can only hope my treatment will make me feel a little better.

Hey doctor, amazing video. I have a quick question. Does low testosterone cause constipation?

What about ADT?

I have been on TRT in my 50s for several years now and it makes a huge difference. I pick up the symptoms when I miss a dose for a few weeks. I was surprised that I had low T because I have a large muscle mass from strength training naturally (T of 4n mols) But the symptoms for me were lethargy, depression, apathy , and low libido (nil). It is like night and day when on the medication. The problem with waiting too long to do the injection is the apathy because you can’t be bothered anymore. I had to experiment to get the dosing and frequency right. Too much and libido is too high as well as haematocrit. The gels didn’t work because my skin would flare up from all the alcohol in the product. Hypogonadism is a real disease like menopause but is not treated the same. The stigma attaches to TRT for men as steroid drug addicts. It is a real medical condition that even a lot of doctors including senior endocrinologists do not believe. An endocrinologist told me that I don’t need TRT because my body doesn’t need T, that he had another patient with no T who was just fine, that we need to save Medicare in Australia from paying for all the HRT. This was the head of a hospital endocrinology department. I’m glad I got a second opinion.

I have been complaining to my doctor about brain fog, weight gain, depression/anxiety, and energy level for over a year. They did all types of tests, and finally, after one of my annual checkups, I guess they decided to do a low T-test. It came back below 200, and now I need to go see the endocrinologist. I guess they figured since I was young, it wasn't necessary to test it.

When getting HRT for properly diagnosed low T.....FORGET INSURANCE COMPANIES and get your prescription sent to to a compounding pharmacy. My cost is less than my CoPay and I have good insurance. A side benefit is that you have to do unnecessary testing or office visits to please the insurance company. Design your insurance company out of your healthcare whenever possible and keep them from getting between you and your doctor and what you both decide is best.

"Dr. Patch Zalzal" - I like it. ;-)

Not sure if my message went through but I’m 37 years old and not sure if my testosterone level considered normal for my age or low I just received my level and it 452

Hi Guys forgot to mention people with Sleeep apnea myself being one of them, the combination of injectable testosterone and my sleep apnea brought my hgb levels almost to 19 mg/dl and giving my family history of heart disease I abandoned treatment besides the monthly blood donations to bring my hematocrit and hgb down, wondering if Testosterone patches have a less agressive effect than injectable or if its all the same, thanks for another great video 😊

I started TRT injections in January, I was at 236. My T is now in the 550 range, but the injections have given me nothing but side effects and stress from keeping your E2 in check without feeling like death. I also have started severe itching anytime I got how or did physical activities. So I am planning on stopping. What would you recommend the best way of weening off? I currently am taking 120mg injections every 4 days.

I am 56 years old and in 2018 my testosterone was 278. I started to experience diminished function in 2020. In spring 2021 I started using Aphro-d. In January 2023 my testosterone came in at 676. Function returned within a few months of use.

I'm a little bewildered by the range of testosterone that is considered "normal". It's something like 400 - 1000 in units the USA uses. Good to know that to avoid natural variability then get tested in the morning.

Im a 23 year old male and just got my blood work done. My testosterone is 264, and my free test is 5.4. Do you think these are concerning levels and what should I do? I am fatigued very often throughout the day

Low carb paleo diet and activity, now two years and going, 68 years young. No TRT, 519 my latest numbers. Lifting heavy things, HIIT and cutting out the carbs. Who knew?!😮

My total testosterone came back at 887 and the normal range is 250 to 827 ng/dl. Should I be concerned ? Also my creatine kinase total came back at 252 meanwhile normal range is 44 to 196 u/l. I don’t know what’s going on! But I am gaining weight, loosing muscle and super bloated all the damn times. I wake up bloated, feeling full and I get more bloated even by drinking water.

I have low hemoglobin and red blood cell count. Can the reverse be true that low T can be responsible for low hemoglobin?

So what is low. What if your testosterone is to high? Are the numbers age variable?

Have you seen too much exercise cause low testosterone? I do 7-10 hours of cardio per week and recently tested at 166 ng/dl with low RBC, HGB and HCT. My doctor wants to retest in a month.

I’m 21 doctor said I have low testosterone I had to get a pituitary mri and everything was good now there saying I need a karyotype test done . I want to know what you think about this I’m scared a little

There was no specific medication mentioned to take topically or via injection.
