Hi, I’m Andrew, 25 year old male. I just wanted anyone’s opinion on my current situation and any advice. (I’m very overweight but doing something about currently)
I have known for many years that I was no way near finishing puberty. But put it down to being overweight and a late bloomer. I’ve suffered from depression in the past however bloods were never taken. I had bloods taken last year. And it took nearly 6 months for something to be done. My testosterone levels were at 1.3nmol. Which is extremely low. I was referred to a urologist and he then referred me to an endocrinologist. My levels hadn’t moved much maybe .1 either way. They did an MRI on my pituitary and a LRHR test and both were ok. I was then put on a very small dose of testogel (2.5g). After 5 weeks I have just had blood test results. And my levels were 24nmol. Almost at the top end of normal. Which is completely bizarre. Because I’ve had no further development, just more regular erections. They said my body might have just reacted differently to it because it wasn’t used to it. Anyway they say they may have got my genetics wrong? And I might need an age test? But they’re sayig the problem is again the testicles. I have very minimal body hair, no facial. And my voice hasn’t deepened much. So very much still a young teenager. I am going to continue the gel and maybe 3 month injection in future but should I be concerned? And how long will being on gel take to start having a difference? Thanks for any help or advice
