Alright I need some help regarding my hormone test, I figured people on this very subreddit probably know alot about this and might help me out.
June this year I went to my doctor wanting to check my T levels cause of the usual symptoms: Low/non existent libido, very low motivation, low confidence, very low energy. And as a dude in his late 20s this was very concerning.
I got lab test back, reading:
Testosterone: 9.1nmol (ref 8.6-35)
SHGB: 20nmol (ref 10-80)
LH: 5.5 (ref 1.0 - 10.0)
Doc told me testosterone was within range hence shouldnt cause any problems, but he told me he could send me to a endocronolist if I wanted to talk more about it.
So he did.
I waited 4 months before I got an appointment, they also told me to take another blood test before the meeting, so I did.
Today I met the endocrinologist, she started asking me why I had wanted to check my levels so I explained to her all my symptoms, that I was slow in my head these days, very low energy, no/low libido, and all that.
She told me 9.1 testosterone was not good but still within range so it shouldnt cause any problems.
I asked her to see the result from my latest test, and I did, showing this:
Testosterone: 5.0nmol (ref 8.6-35nmol)
SHGB: 20nmol (ref 10-80)
LH: 6.6 (ref 1.0-10)
FSH: 2.0 (ref 1.0-10)
IGF-1: 228 (ref 90-280)
Also prolactin, which I cannot remember but it was little bit over the top, something similar to:
80-280 and I had like 290 or 300.
Anyway, she wanted me to take off my shirt, I did and she said: "alot of musculature, that doesnt happen with low testosterone" (I have been working out for like 8 years and I built the vaste majority in my teen years, nowadays I dont build nothing). She also listened to my heart and took my blood pressure, all was great.
Anyway, she told me: "I wont put you on TRT now, first I want to scan your brain, do a MRI (or something like that), she told me my low (but in range) FSH and somewhat high prolactin could mean I had a tumour in my brain.
Then she said bye and told me I will get an appointment for MRI scan within a couple of months.
So now Im home .. feeling like a shit at the moment, so I can cancer in my brain then? Feels very bad, cried a little afterwards but I guess its good to know why Ive felt so shitty for the last couple of years, I have almost no life what so ever no more cause I dont have the motivation for girls, for success or nothing at all, working a very low quality job and dont wanna do nothing with my life, VERY low drive.
Sos could anyone here maybe help me out? Is this stuff she said correct you think? What shall I do now ... just wait for my MRI I guess?
I was planning on going back to college in january but I seriously cant do it feeling like this, I was hoping I could get help with my testosterone til then but it doesnt look like that right now.
All help appreciated, thankyou all!
