[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 120834, member: 15832"] Apparently your doctor is ignoring the endocrine society guidelines, 300 ng/dl was chosen for the cutoff point to be considered low testosterone. However it's not as simple as that, men with higher SHBG has much less free testosterone than a guy with lower SHBG, so they require more total testosterone in order to have the same free testosterone as a lower SHBG guy. Also there are multiple studies showing cardiovascular disease below 440 ng/dL, rinse and repeat we see men beginning to experience low libido when dipping in the high 400 ranges. We are all genetically unique and everyone has their own optimal range they operate best, doctors would have you believe we are all clones of the same person. The majority of doctors don't even know what tests to order and have no real understanding how to read the test results. When a doctor doesn't know what the heck their doing, their going to tell you you're fine just to get you out of their office. Most doctors want nothing to do with TRT, too much risk for a doctor that has no clue. There are hundreds of studies like this one that provide beyond a shadow of a doubt that the endocrine society's claiming anything below 300 ng/dL is what constitutes low testosterone is wrong and serious flawed. There are some doctors that claim to know that this 300 cutoff point was chosen by the endocrine society because it sounded like a good number. I believe it wholeheartedly because all the studies confirm it. [URL]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27843074[/URL] [/QUOTE]
