Thank you for your help in advance .

Converting these to units we use on this side of the pond - testosterone 361 ng/dL and estrogen 32 pg/mL

Testosterone is low, and estrogen is a bit high. At 52 your range would be a low of about 350 to a high of about 1,000 according to this plot

Your LH is quite low for testosterone that low, you could be secondary hypogonadal. Something like HCG or clomid monotherapy might be something to try to see how you feel and what it does to your test levels.

^^^^^what tank said
In your shoes I would always try clomid first because in my experience there is no risk of suppression. The hcg suggestion above would definitely be my second attack. But that's me and knowing how my body reacts. Tank knows his shit closely consider his advice

Think an AI (Aromasin I found the best) would help you.
Do you have massive bodyfat? Could be a reason for this really high ammount of Estrogen (Östradiol).
Testosterone is also a bit low and also on me has caused a level around 12nmol/l nightsweats, weak muscles, sleepyness and brainfog.

Looks like german? ... you can PN me in german if you need.

Hi
First I would like to thank all of you for your replies and help .
Just a little update . The doctor prescribed 0.25mg Clomid /day for a week, and 0.50mg from the second week . He says I can star with it , and I'm going to have a blood test in four weeks again. I have been taking Clomid for two and a half weeks now . I feel I have a little more energy , brainfog has decreased, and I started to get regular hard morning wood about a week ago. (I did not get them before. ) I'm hopeful , although my problem hasn't been solved , yet , because my libido is still zero. It is quite a strange feeling that I have hard morning woods, but I sill have my ED problem. The doctor says I have varicocele, and it might also cause my low testosterone , but since I didn't even know about it, first we started with clomid .
So I'm going to have a blood test in one and a half weeks again .

Thank all of you again .

to jojo 25jj : I don't really have body fat , so it can't be the reason for high Estrogen . Thank you for your reply .
