Lab Results for a 25 yo, not sure if my results were low enough to warrant TRT at my age

[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 245426, member: 18023"] Your results look a little like mine when I was 43 before TRT, similar T, a lot lower E. I was taking a lot of DHEA, that caused my ALT to be 57, higher than normal, worth keeping track of, but not a big deal. The dhea did nothing for me other than to put me seriously over the top of a normal range. I was taking DHEA at the time for the same symptoms you are feeling. Only thing that really helped was when I started TRT at age 57. I would keep an eye on PSA of 1.2. Mine was 1.2 also at age 43, PSA nearly always goes up the older you get, especially after ~55. TRT typically causes a small rise, like to 1.6, but I would guess your PSA will be over 4.0 at some time. Maybe next time, get a PSA with %free more to get baseline than thing concern. Prostate size has a linear effect on PSA, so bigger will cause more PSA to be created. Your elevated lymphocytes, eosinophils. Neutrophils is IMO minor, likely caused by that recent infections. When you retest you can see if that is still a problem, I would add HS-CRP which you give you a baseline for inflammation, which any infection (along with other things) will cause that to rise. Ideally HS-CRP should be under 1.0. If you do start TRT, think about fertility. Get your sperm frozen or use HCG. No idea what it costs to freeze and keep sperm. I don't have any testosterone results from before age 43, but I feel my T dropped for some reason after age 40. But it stayed the same at ~350 even when I quit TRT for a year in my early 60s (currently 70). So my total natural T didn't continue to drop. You can try various things, it could be emotional, but my guess your fatigue will only be helped by going on TRT. [/QUOTE]
