[QUOTE="UKEctomorph, post: 89915, member: 17219"] Hello, I'm a 36 year old male living in the UK, and have some concerns regarding some possible long-term hormonal issues I may have been suffering with. Factors which have led me to believe that I may have hormonal issues include patchy / sparse facial hair growth, lack of energy and muscle mass, and a pre-disposition to gain weight around my waist and thighs. I also have minor gynecomastia, though maintaining a healthy BMI means that it is only evident when wearing fitted T-Shirts. These characteristics have been existent since the on-set of puberty. I have discussed my concerns with my GP who arranged for me to have a hormone profile taken. I have included the results below ; [LIST] [*]Serum Testosterone: 24.1 nmol/L (Normal Range 7.00-31.00 nmol/L [*]Serum Sex Hormone Binding Globulin : 66.8 nmol/L (Normal Range 18.00 - 54.00 nmol/L) [*]Free Androgen Index: 36.1 % (Normal Range 16.00 - 102.00%) [*]Serum Oestradiol Level: 115 pmol/L (Normal Range 155.00 pmol/L) [/LIST] I asked to be referred to an endocrinologist (under the NHS). When I finally saw an endo, they had no concerns about my hormone profile, even though I flagged the low FAI and high Oestradiol levels to them. Unfortunately it feels as though I'm getting nowhere, and I just wanted some confirmation as to whether or not it is worth pursuing this further. Many Thanks Jon [/QUOTE]
