Low free high total

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I've just stumbled upon this website and wonder whether anybody has any idea

about my situation.  I can't seem to use the search engine on the page to check

for any similar experiences so I'm gonna have to run through my own... I'm a 37

year old man and recently got these results from a blood test -

Total testosterone - 36.1 nmol/L  (9.9 - 27.9)

Free testosterone - 3.78 pg/ml (3.84 - 34.17)

Estrogen - 151.6 pmol/L (28 - 156)

FSH - 3.4 U/L (1.5 - 12.4)

LH - 3.69 U/L (1.7 - 8.6)

Prolactin - 284 mU/L (98 - 456)

These results seem to be on a different scale to others that I have seen, but I

hope that they are still interpretable...

I've seen an endocrinoligist about these results but  he was pretty unsure about

what they meant.  He said he's going to try to look into it, but suggested that

there was probably nothing to be done about it...  Does anybody else have

any ideas?

In terms of physical symptoms I've got very little facial or body hair, have

suffered with depression and anxiety throughout my adult life and also have a

problem with fluctuating energy levels, something I'd previously identified as

hypoglycemia.  I'm pretty lazy and and directionless generally and often have

other problems that I've recently read about concerning low T levels, including

'brain fog'.  Despite having a healthy diet and being pretty skinny, I also

recently got high scores in a colesterol test.  I spend a lot of time watching

boxing and MMA as this seems to stimulate some kind of T feeling... I've got a

pretty low libido and very little spontaneous wood although I love looking at

porn in a effort to stimulate something...

At this stage I'm not sure whether I'm just trying to find a new explanation for

feeling 'not quite right' or whether these results acutally suggest something

significant.  A couple of doctors I've seen prior to this endocrinologist said

that these results are pretty normal and nothing to worry about.  I haven't been

able to find anything on the web about this seemingly contradictory situation of

high total and low free testosterone, and wonder whether this situation would

seem to qualify me for possible TRT or not.  Does anybody over there have any

ideas!!!???
