[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 129519, member: 15832"] The endocrine society defines low testosterone below 300 ng/dL and even this is considered too low my most experts, a lot of doctors confuse labs ranges with healthy ranges. Labcorps ranges for testosterone is 264-916 ng/dL, yet low testosterone is defined below 300 ng/dL. Life expectancy is higher with testosterone in the high normal ranges, men below 300 have a higher mortality rate, your doctor is just incompetent and likely knows very little about sex hormones. Endocrinologist typically are ignorant with anything related to sex hormones, they specialize in diabetes and hypothyroidism and most doctors in managed healthcare have no clue how to do TRT. Tropical testosterone generally is absorbed poorly by the majority of men and injections is the most effective way to raise testosterone. SHBG is important and dictates the type of TRT protocol, testosterone and estrogen binds to SHBG. SHBG also affects your Total T and Free T levels. An E2 sensitive test is also critical, estrogen to high or too low can affect erections and libido in men. Total T, Free T, SHBG and Sensitive Estrogen (LC/MS/MS method) should be used to periodically check your levels to see where you are. I would like to see your thyroid labs including Free T3 and Reverse T3 as these are needed to balance out your thyroid when on thyroid medications.
