Hello, can anyone help me? I'm 25 years old and have significant physical and psychological symptoms of low testosterone.
My main issues are severe skin tearing/stretch marks (connective tissue weakness) on my hips and arms, despite not being overweight. Also, I have extreme insomnia – I wake up every 1-2 hours and never feel rested. I work night shifts, which probably adds to the stress.
My LH is high 9.1mU/ml, while my Total Testosterone is only mid-range, and my Estradiol is very high at 50.0pg/ml My Cortisol is also elevated at 21.6pg/ml
Does this look like primary hypogonadism to you guys? My doctor appointment is this Friday and I'm considering TRT with frequent microdosing to keep my E2 in check. What are your thoughts on my labs?"
I'll attach my blood test results and hope for some help soon.
Thank you.
