Hey guys, a lil background:
I know this is my first post but I have been visiting/reading these forums for the last couple of weeks and it seems like there are alot of knowledgable folks here.
I am 23 years old and for the last 1-1.5 years, I've been suffering from a lot of fatigue, having difficulty concentrating, and a significant drop in sex drive. I had been in and out of doctors offices trying to figure out what was wrong but this was all going on during school so I didn't have much time to really get to the root of the problem. Anyways, I had my testosterone level checked and it showed up as 380 (down from 600 just a year ago), which I knew to be on the low side for someone my age but the doctor disagreed. So, I decided to get a full workup from an endo to see what exactly is causing all my symptoms.
Testosterone: 434 Range: 250-1100
Free: 131.2 Range: 46-224
SHBG: 11 Range: 10-50
LH: 3.1 Range: 1.5-9.3
FSH: 2.0 Range: 1.6-8.0
Prolactin: 16.9 Range: 2-18
There's a bunch of other stuff but I'm not sure what is applicable. Anyways, I feel like my test levels are low for someone my age and could be responsible for my symptoms but wanted to see what you guys thought. Do these numbers look normal for someone my age?
