I just turned 40 so I decided I should have a physical. I have had absolutely no health problems, but I wondered if maybe I had low testosterone because I lift weights and really struggle to put on muscle mass. My doctor seemed a little skeptical of TRT but agreed to include testosterone in the lab order.
Well, my bloods just came back, and my testosterone is absurdly low -- 39.1 ng/dl, where normal is between 280 and 1100.
I'm going back in today for a second blood test that will include a full hormone panel, but can anyone give me thoughts on how I should approach this with my doctor? As I said, he seems skeptical of TRT.
And can anyone say why my testosterone would be so low? I'm not that old, I've never used steroids and I've never had any health problems that I can think of that would cause low testosterone. I also don't exhibit most of the symptoms -- I get erections, my sex drive is normal, I'm not depressed, etc.
Thanks for your help.
