[QUOTE="James, post: 3727, member: 565"] Thank you Nelson for telling me about this site. Hello everyone. Here's my story. I'm 42 years old, I've got crazy low testosterone and Doc's can't seem to tell me why. April 2013 - 342 ng/dl (total) Aug 2013 - 225 ng/dl (total) Dec 2013 - 182 ng/dl (total) 30.5 pg/ml (free) Prolactin 5.4 ng/ml - (range 2.5 - 22.5) PSA .5 ng/ml (range - Less than 4.1 is good...mine is only .5) Estradiol 12 pg/ml (range 8 - 43) FSH 6.8 miu/ml (range 1.5 - 12.4) LH 2.7 miu/ml (range 1.7 - 8.6) SHBG 24 nmol/l (range 10 - 50) DHEA 403 ng/dl (range 61 - 1636...wow, that's quite a "normal" range) Estrogen Total <50 pg/ml (range, less than 130 is good...according to the Doc) HIV negative Negative for Hep A, B & C Doc did liver and kidney bloodwork and says not only is everything fine, but my liver and kindeys are "very strong." I don't have a Pituitary tumor. I was diagnosed cancer 11 months ago. I got it early and it didn't spread. I didn't have chemotherapy, but had 6 weeks of Monday - Friday radiation. My PET Ct and all follow up CAT scans, MRI's and bloodwork say the cancer did not spread and I'm as healthy as can be. I actually feel better today than I did prior to being diagnosed. Since my health scare, I eat an organic plant based diet and exercise consistently. Overall, I feel good. My primary care physician and urologist have absolutely no clue why my testosterone is so low and continues to drop, as they think the above scores are fine. They say my problem is probably "down low" which I think means my testicles. I had an ultrasound of my testicles and that came back normal. They said I have a very minor varicocele and surgery may only increase my total testosterone score by "100 points at the most." When I was 13, I developed Gynecomastia, but had it surgically removed and it has not come back. I seem to only have mild symptoms and generally feel ok for a guy with a testosterone level of 182 ng/dl Does anyone have any idea why my testosterone level are so low? Thanks for your help.
