High levels of Testosterone

I'm sure it's been discussed but in my searches I come up with nada.

In the last year I have been doing testasterone and B complex weekly. I have also recently started iron injections. Due to earlier surgery, I lost the ability to absorb iron sufficiently and almost totally depleted my body's store.

Anyway, I ran bloodwork recently and found my total Testasterone at 20.76 ng/ml and my free at .0679 ng/ml. I'm in Mexico and that's the way they read.... ng per ml rather than dl. According to the correct range I'm about 2.25 times normal high normal total and my free is 3.8 times upper normal. I anticipate because mf my age (63) that the normals stated in my blood work take age into account.

I can't really find answers to my specific questions:

  • Are my high numbers detrimental?

  • What are the advantages of being high? what are the disadvantages?

  • Should I keep it lower and where is good?


I made this a thread because I was unable to get such answers, so maybe I'm not the only one needing to consider this.
BTW, I take Primoteston Depot and it works well and doesn't cause painful injection sites. It's reasonable here in Mexico.

Thanks in advance!!

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
