Hi all,
I’m new to the forum - been reading about the topic quite a bit and concluded that there’s definitely some good expertise here that I could leverage from. I need your opinion if I should approach a TRT clinic/order more tests or just forget the whole thing. My doc was already prescribing me some antidepressants (which is pretty *ucked up IMO) when I described the symptoms but finally agreed to order the basic tests.
Initial info:
-32yo male
-very healthy diet + supplements
-no sugar, no dairy products
-serious gym exercising 4-5(winter) 6-8(summer) times a week
-no smoking, no alcohol at all
-sleep 7-9h/day
-not too much stress at work, balanced life
Lab results:
-Total 508 ng/dl
-Free 77.4 pg/ml
-TSH 3rd gen 1.6 uIU/ml
-vitamins, cholesterol etc all perfect values
Symptoms:
-low libido, overall sex drive is getting lower month to month
-serious problems gaining muscle even both training plan and macros are mint
-easily irritated/rapid changes in mood even angry at times
-especially easily irritated and angry if even little bit hungry, hard to explain but it’s def not normal and worries me a bit
-could use more energy overall
Please tell me - am I making this up in my head or could TRT make my life better? I know there’s not much data but what does it say? The general guidelines are worthless. I’m aware of my relatively young age and lifetime commitment - no need to remind thank you.
