Low testosterone, 20s, doctor wont help... what to do?

[lowtestos]

Im 28 years old and for the last 4 years I have been so low, a "slug", mental fog, almost no energy at all. Lost my job cause no effectiveness, I have absolutely no motivation to do nothing. I can lay in bed to 2pm and my life is falling apart.

I have almost no sexdrive, Im a decent looking bloke so Ive had some girls interested in me but I just dont care about it .. and I never initiate or feel that "sexual drive" I once had in my late teens and my early twenties.

Im mostly kinda depressed, low mood and I dont see joy in nothing. Diet is good and Ive been working out in the gym for 9 years, but the last couple of years I absolutely cannot do more than 2-3 times cause I get exchausted.


I decided to go look my testosterone, and I did so 3 different times with months apart.

First time results came back 310ng/dl, second time 260ng/dl and last time around 260 again.

Doctor say she wont give me testosterone cause "Im young yet so I dont need it", so I went to another doctor ... said the same thing, and told me testosterone can give me heart attack and make me not being able to have kids .. but Im not sure thats true and they didnt really seem so professional or that knowledgeable regarding the subject.

Im from sweden by the way, testosterone is kinda taboo here.


What would you have done in my situation? My life is absolute shit .. I dont have no energy for almost nothing, I have to take alot of caffeine to go thru the day, zero sex drive and life is just gray and dark. Ive lost most of my friends, my job.. all I have now is pretty good amount of money due to savings, and my family. Almost no connections left and no girls, nothing.

My life is just flushing by and Im watching and not able to participate. Logically I "want to", but It always feels like its something holding me back.


Please help my life, what would you have done in my position? I just want my life back, my energy and that drive I had when I was late teens and early twenties ...

Welcome to the boards, what other meds are you taking? What is your diet? Something other than you thinking that you have low T has to be causing the problem.

Hello friend and thanks for your reply. My diet is atleast 1g of fat for every kg of bodyweight, 2g of protein every kg of bodyweight, rest is carbs. Lots of nuts, eggs, greens, chicken, fish and red meat.

No meds at all, just like caffeeine to take myself thru the day.


No not really, I felt fine in my teens and early twenties, but then by 24-25 I slowly started getting more and more "slow", forgetful, moody and lost my libido, my energy to do stuff and I more and more socially isolated myself cause I just did feel like shit. Gone 4 years now and nothing seems to get better...

Can you please post the rest of your blood work? We need to see LH and FSH at a minimum to know what is going on. Thyroid numbers would be very helpful too. Really just post all your blood work results.

Have you talked to your doctors about doing an HPTA restart attempt?

What are you doing to treat your depression? Working with a psychologist hopefully?

What is your height, weight and boidy fast %? Any medical issues in your history?

I never got to see my fsh and lh numbers... but Ill make sure to ask about that my next bloodtest. No I havent asked about hpta.. Ill bring that up too next time.

Im doing nothing to beat my depression really, but I do very much suspect it has to do with the low T levels as it came basicly the same time as the low libido, low motivation etc ...

Height is 178cm, body weight 75kg and around 12-13% bodyfat. No medical issues.

Ask for a copy of your previous lab work.

Seek the help of a good psychologist!!! Get help. Doing nothing will not help. Just so you know, most guys that have hypogonadism don't suffer from depression. But some do. Regardless, seek help for this too.
