24 year old- 496 ng total t- too low?

[uptempo19]

Hello I am an Asian male that weighs 160lbs, goes to the gym, 5,7, 24yo. I got a testosterone test done and it came back at 496ng. I noticed that sometimes I go soft when I am having sex or hard to get it up..

I ejaculate 1-2 times a day..is that too much? Isn't 496ng way too low for a 24 year old? Or do Asians typically have lower testosterone?
Any advice would help.

I am already taking men's one a day vitamins for the longest time, fish oil, eat lots of nuts, goes running once a week...I notice I do get morning wood (but only because I have to pee?) and no random erections during the day..

Seems normal to me, good level. Not everyone's going to be at the tip top of the range but your mid level not low. What time of day was the test taken and did you get a full nights sleep before? Both effect the level read when your natural.

was taken at 9am in the morning ..fasting...i dont know if that matters..

You are right. 496 is way too low for your age. IMO it doesnt matter if asians have low testosterone or not. If you dont feel good at those levels, get help.

your test levels are very similar to mine and I'm twice your age with a long history of using AAS.

I do not believe Asians have low test levels because every asian male friend of mine is a horny bastard

And the females are too

2 of every 6 humans on the planet live in China, los of repoduction going on over there!

its not that i feel crappy its just i seem to have erection problems at times..what should i do from here? i feel lost right now..i dont usually feel tired..i have good body mass etc..exercises...whats a good place to get another bloodwork test done?

 

[uptempo19]

would taking herbs help in the long run? i was looking at Spartan Blend on Amazon..

I'd get e2, shbg, free test, thyroid, tested next time also among other things. As far as erections so much stuff is tied up in those both mental, physical and chemical it might not be related to your mid level total test levels. The fact that your getting morning wood sometimes is a great sign and yes it's normal to need to pee. Shoot with a test level over 1000, high free test and perfect spot on e2 levels I don't always get erections in the morning either.

Your levels are a little low for your age but if your jacking off twice a day and getting morning wood a few days a week I'd say IMO they are fine for your body size / type.

Are you attracted to the people you are banging?

Are you attracted to the people you are banging?

Or stressed, or low confidence about self, or jaking off too much or a huge number of other things that can cause this.

 

[uptempo19]

well...I notice i do get a little nervous as I am entering her..as in..it gets soft..i dont know why this is...its fine when she goes down on me...shes definitely attractive to me...my questions are..


1. can frequent ejaculation decrease testosterone because of all the nutrients that we let out?

2. Do herbs help testosterone or heal the body in the long run or is it always temporarily? I use this right now and it seems to be make my erections harder...

thanks

I dont know my E2 also..I only did a total testosterone test and thats it..

i would do as mopar said and get all those test done. its a very complex system and you need to check everything.

In the mean time a quick fix would be to get some cialis. RUI is a sponsor on the board and has it. Liquid Cia. If your issues are not that bad, a small 10mg dose willl turn you into a gladiator.

 

[uptempo19]

so what would be the best test that will include everything? and where online? any help would be great

 

[Misc]

This is what i got tested for.

TSH + Free T4
CBC With Differential/Platelet
Comp Metabolic Panel
FSH, LH, Total T, Free T
Protlactin

i didnt get e2 or shgb checked cause my doc didnt ask for it.

i used my insurance to get that bloodwork done and through my GP. i go through Maximus Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) cause the last three docs i went to either didnt know did know there stuff when it came to testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) or they didnt give a shit about me. i can get my blodoowork for free through my insurance but i would imagine those tests i got are not cheap at all.

privatemdlabs.com is a good place to start. their "female hormone panel" will be a good baseline.

privatemdlabs.com/lp/Female_Hormone_Testing.php

is this correct? females? will it only also just give me total testosterone?

Estradiol, Serum Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Testosterone, Serum
Complete Blood Count (CBC) Comprehensive Metabolic Profile


is that enough to see if my normals are right?

 

[Misc]

the male hormone panel is better cause they test for free test and other things but the female one is a good start. at least you can see the total T LH FSH and e2.
