Can anyone help me with my blood results? much appreciated

[jamessmith645]

Hi guys,
20 years old, Severe ED, no morning wood for years, Brain fog, Lack of drive, slowly turning into a beta bitch checking in!

Had some blood work done and would love it if you guys had some advice on where to go now!
My diets not great but its certainly not low in fat or carbs (6 foot 2 194lb, store all weight on stomach). Been taking ZMA and Vit d on and off for a few months (not ideal i know). Had some pretty stressful years from 16-19 and erectile function has suffered for it.

I want to know if my symptoms are from fucked hormone levels or porn. Ive watched porn most days for the last 4 years but only for like 10 mins a day at a time (not one of those that wack off for hours on end). Could it be Stress = Porn = ED? Or do you think my blood work says otherwise?

First test back in 30th july 2013 (taken around 10am because of queues)
Serum testosterone: 14.7nmol (420ngdl)
Serum lh level: 2.7iu/l
Serum FSH level: 3.7iu/l
Serum Prolactin level: 197mlU/L

Serum free t4 level: 13.7pmol/l
Serum TSH level: 1.44mu/l

Now there are another 1000 other results on there that i dont think are relevant as they seem to be in range. Apart from these 2
Serum HDL cholesterol level: 1.09mmol/L (Range 1.2mmol/l >)
Serum Triglycerides level: 1.32mmol/L (Range 0.6-1.2mmol/L)
Total HDL ratio = 3.83 (which is noted as high on the sheet)


Now After seeing these perfectic testosterone levels i went back to the doc and asked for a more thorough look into my low T levels in which he said were fine but he'll do it for my peace of mind anyway and if they're all fine he'll send me to a sex counsellor lol? Fucking idiot although fair play to him he did what i asked and tested: Total T again, Free T, Cortisol, SHGB, Estradiol and i asked for Vit D which he put down but the labs did't do it anyway.

Anyway these results were taken on 3rd January 2014 at 9am
Serum testosterone: 17.1nmol/L (495ngdl) (Range 9.6-28.8nmol)
Free tesosterone: 76.7 (Range 34-106)
Serum Oestradiol: 87pmol/L
SHGB: 22.3nmol/L (Range 15-48nmol)
Serum Cortisol: 532nmol/L (Wiki range 140-700nmol/L) Although 700 sounds pretty high dont ya think?


What do you guys think? Test seems very low to me for a 20 year old and cortisol high. Also what do you think about cholesterol and Trigs? Been rebooting from porn for nearly a 100 days now with only slight improvements in brain fog but no signs of erectile function coming back.
Stacked Tribulus and DAA together for a few weeks and i noticed a huge surge in confidence and some signs of life down there for about 2 or 3 days then things turned to normal after that. This was definitely not placebo as my cognition, wittyness, erection capabalities came back at the same time after roughly 2 weeks of use and only lasted 2 or 3 days!!! Wish i could have felt like that forever!



Sorry for long winded post but what do you guys think? Thanks for your time!!!!

I don't see anything in your lab. Total testosterone is a little on the lower side, but definitely not hypogonadal or anything. Your TSH looks good (thyroid).

I would try abstaining for porn and see if that gets your dick working again.

Cheers for your advice bro! Wasn't sure enough if 420-495ngdl was low enough for impotence. Also what you think of cortisol? Or HDL?

 

[Megatron28]

Your cortisol was in the normal range, right? I don't know much about it to be able to say if that is a problem.

You want you HDL to be high. HDL is known as the "good cholesterol". If you are really concerned about lipids you need to post your entire lipid profile.

I've seen studies that profound ED usually happens when T is quite a bit below normal range.
I guess my point is that low T is not very likely to be the cause of your ED at your levels.

Have you tried Cialis?

Cheers for the reply mate. I see what your saying that most people have really low t before they start getting.problems. I noticed this pattern too it's just i've also read that people that are use to having around 800ngdl of test then suddenly plummet to levels like 450ngdl (in my case from severe stress) really do struggle. For example the people that start TRT and dont feel better at say 600ngdl but start to feel normal again at 800ngdl. Just a thought. My brain is in overdrive day and night trying to.work out my.next move. Bummer.

Tried cialis a few months ago at strongest dose (20mg) and i think it helped a little. Viagra does absolutely nothing. I would pop cialis all the time but i cant stand having a red face for 36 hours lol. Cheers again dude

Also Megatron when i pointed out my HDL levels i actually was referring that they were too low. Cortisol is in range but that means nothing on the NHS. Trying to find out what is optimal as we speak. Cheers dude
