Never touched a cycle in my life. Got bloods done for the hell of it. Feelsbadman.

LH 1.8 (1.7-8.6)
test, serum 291 (280-800)
estradiol 23.6 (7.6-42.6)
FSH 2.8 (1.5-12.4)

Bilirubin .6 (0-1.2)
AST 45 (0-40) high
ALT 47 (0-55)
BUN 27 (5-26) high

WBC 3.7 (4.0-10.5) low
Neutrophils 34 (40-74) low
Lymphs 53 (14-46) high
Neutrophils Absolute 1.8 (1.8-7.8) low

Everything else was in range.

21 years old
5'11"
180lbs, about 14-16% BF,
was somewhere over 30% as a child.
Don't smoke, had maybe 10 total drinks in my life, and usually get 8-9 hours of sleep a night. I abused caffeine pretty bad for 3-6 months last year, but have since dropped my intake dramatically.

I was fasted for 12 hours, but only got about 6 hours of sleep the night before. Bloods were taken at 7am.

Just a shitty luck of the draw in the game of life? Or is there anything to be concerned about? Thing is, I don't really suffer from any of the symptoms of Low T, save for seemingly being able to put on bodyfat easily and muscle a little harder. Think it's worth going to endo?

From what I've read, it appears that a pituitary gland or hypothalamus issue is the culprit (low test, lowish FSH and LH). What type of treatment could I expect for this?

To expand:

-I've had armpit hair since 6th grade, a lowered voice since 7th grade, and have been shaving since 8th grade. I really don't think it's hypogonadism.
The good: I really never feel "depressed," or "mentally foggy." I can control my weight pretty easily (both ways) by adjusting activity and total calories. I can get it up just fine.
The bad: I get bored EASILY. Pretty much, anything I do needs to be done with purpose. I have a hard time "enjoying myself" when I have downtime. I find enjoyment in work, college lecture, working out, and other goal-oriented activities with a defined beginning and end. I'm not sure if this is just my personality or some manifestation of "depression". My libido exists, but it takes a lot more to get the big guy moving than it did before. Maybe internet porn has just desensitized me, but my libido was sky high in middle school. Morning woods maybe twice a week.
 
Your test is WAY LOW for your age. IT's not the porn that desensitized you dude. If that was the case, I neutered myslef years ago. I would suggest an endo ASAP. You have an issue. And it prob can be cured without extra test - just clomid/HCG to get you nuts working. They obviously work some but need a kickstart. Go see endo ASAP. At 21, you should be hard all day. I'm 46 and still hard. If you want to send your complete blood tests to us at Centurion - just call us at 855-Rejuvenate or visit us at Centurion HRT - but for your case, I would go directly to an endo - NOW. Prob not test you need, its the other stuff. Truthfully, it might be an easy fix.
 
Well let's hope so. Made an appt with my PCP today. I suspect that my pituitary/hypothalamus is damaged, hence the low LH and FSH.
 
Your PCP will not know a damn thing unless they study in this field. My suggestion is to research the hell out of your issue and develop a strategy to gain back your natty test. Go in and see the doc with this info. I have found the right doctor and being prepared, makes for a very good relationship...then again I have fired more than one doctor.
