I am posting my blood results. This is before i started TRT which is on feb 14th. Blood was drawn on feb 10. Wondering what is the reason for high IGF-1 or somatomedin?
I have low testosterone, low rbc and high cholestrol. I also have high normal blood sugar.
Can any experts tell what is going on?
@Vince @Nelson Vergel Can u pls respond?

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.
