Primary or Secondary Low T

I suffer from ED symptoms so my urologist ran a few tests. (34 year old; nonsmoker; nondrinker; slightly high bad cholesterol; low good cholesterol). Here are results:

Testosterone: 246 (250-827)
FSH: 3.7 (1.6-8.0)
LH: 3.1 (1.5-9.3)
Estradiol: 29 (less than 39)
Prolactin: 9.0 (2-18)

He thinks that I have primary hypogodanism and has put me on Clomid (want to maintain fertility). Does this make sense? It was my understanding that FSH an LH levels are what indicate primary low testosterone. Next weeks marks 6th week on Clomid and am waiting on new blood work results to see if I improve.

Please let me know if you agree that I have primary low t. Thanks!

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
