Hi Gene,
I think I didn't have the tests for SHBG and E2 labs, could you please take a look?
If these 2 tests are missing, then I will get these tests done.
Pl. also suggest if any other tests needed to find actual root cause.
I just want to tell that since 3 year, I'm living in Europe (my native place is India), it's very cold city here, and there no sun at all most of the times.
somewhere, I read that "D" Vitamin is essential to produce T. Is that the reason for my Low T? (I know that I have this kind of sexual problems since long time but I was able to concentrate on my work and other activities, but since last 9 months I'm getting worse like lose of memory, no sexual drive at all, moody, tired.....)
how can I know my D vitamin levels? Is there any specific test for this?
Thanks
Chaitanya

Here are my comments regarding your blood work and what is significant.
Your Total and Free Testosterone serum levels present you as Hypogonadal.
PSA is fine and testes are fine as well.
Start supplementing with Pregnenolone and DHEA at 50 mg per day.
TSH is a bit elevated but TT4 and TT3 are in good healthy ranges. I'd like to see RT3 and antibodies as well.
LH is a tad low and FSH is damn near tanked and points to your low Testosterone serum levels.
It's very important to get Estrogen levels checked along with SHBG when doing any blood work.
I don't know how old you are nor your lifestyle nor how much body fat you are carrying but I would guess that you age related androgen deficient presenting with symptoms and probably a good candidate for Testosterone Replacement.
Tell us more about yourself.

In the above link, we already discussed many points.
I'm 31 years old, 74 is my weight, height is 178 Cms, don't think I've lot of fat (a little fat at my abdominal area, that's it, I look like normal guy)
my lifestyle: I'm software engineer, daily 8hrs sitting in my chair and do work, since I'm working at client side obviously I'd some work dead lines and pressure. No smoking habit, Occasionally I take alchohol (since 4 months I've stopped it completely)
My brother is also took some treatment for sexual problems but I never discussed it with him.
it looks like I got it by inheritance from my fore fathers, what you say?
At the age of 16, I was proactive and very active in studies and games, after that, slowly I became very silent, talk very less, no interest for anything, many people told me that I'm very slow and diggy but I thought that I'm reserved kind of person.
long time ago, at the age of 21, I used to go gym, initial I was very weak to lift the weights, but slowly I did a lot of excercise.
I did it almost 6 month, but I was never get a significat muscles, I've asked my trainer then he said, some people won't get muscles so I left the gym. (that time, I didn't realize that I've this low T problem - so I guess I've this problem since 10 yrs)
I will continue the suppliments few more months and if there is no change then I will go for TRT?
by looking at my reports, what kind of side effects I will get while taking TRT? any heads up?
how many days I need to use T gels as part of TRT?
After stopping TRT, Is there any other medecine to not to go back my lower levels again?
one more thing, is there any way that I can find a best doctor in India?
or please let me know if you know anybody who is expert in TRT in India?
Thanks for reading.

If possible, just type down all your labs and ranges on future threads. Honestly, I start losing track after about the 7th one of opening and closing. The easier you make it for your audience, the better chance you have of getting stronger feedback.
On the thyroid panel, I didn't see and free and unbound (FT4 and FT3). I can't really make any comments on this without those values, plus the ones mentioned by Gene. If you can get those put together and post them up, I'll chime in. Thanks
