That's all pretty normal. What you're missing that is really important here is SHBG, so you could calculate your free testosterone. You'll want to repeat the total T, and this time I would add SHBG, estradiol (ultrasensitive) and LH.

Free T is basically all that matters for hypogonadal symptoms, total T is pretty useless by comparison.

Not much to chew on here as you are missing the most critical blood marker free testosterone.

Although TT is important to know FT is what truly matters as it is the active unbound fractions of T responsible for the positive effects.

You need to have your FT tested using the most accurate assay (Equilibrium Dialysis) to know where it truly sits.

If you do not have access to such testing method highly doubtful if you live in the US then you would need to use/rely upon the linear law-of-mass action Vermeulen (cFTV) available online for free free by plugging in your TT, SHBG and Albumin.

Unfortunately you did not have your SHBG tested.

The only way your FT would be low-end/low with a TT 500 ng/dL is with highish/high SHBG.

Bottom line you need to know where your FT level sits!

Importance of free testosterone measurement in assessing androgen disorders

Testosterone imbalances affect men, women, and children differently. In males, testosterone deficiency (hypogonadism) can lead to low libido, fatigue, and muscle loss, while excess may contribute to aggression and cardiovascular risks. In females, testosterone excess (hyperandrogenism), often associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or adrenal disorders, can cause excess hair growth, weight gain, and menstrual irregularities. In children...
