Hi guys, 37 yo male
Over the last couple of years Ive lost interest in sex, had issues with "getting it up" and generally feeling a little low.. I lost a nut when I was 13 due to injury but was reassured that the other one would take care of business. Ive been toying with the idea of self prescribing TRT..I was on a SARM about 3 months ago and had a panel done.. My test went down to 7.06nmol/L (204ng/ml) possibly due to the SARM (LGD) I took.. I finished that and took pct for a month.
So now I'm in the same position as I was, low libido, and ed etc. So I decided to see what TRT would do. Went to my doc and had some base panels done by a private lab (medichecks). Below I have posted my results..
My initial thoughts were worry, as my PSA was elevated and prolactin, but then I read you shouldnt ejaculate 24hrs before (which i did), and also after some googling, they arent that high. But Prolactin may be a cause for my symptoms. Anyway, looking at my Total Test Im looking ok 546 Ng/dl, my free test is quite low, normal SHBG, and high prolactin. Do you think that these results would warrant TRT treatment or at least causation for the symptoms? I have underactive thyroid in the family history and Free T3 is borderline too.. Be great to see what you think. Sorry its written in British...But Im British so..
