Hey, this is my first post but have been lurking for a little, decided to reach out for some help & suggestions.
I just had a comprehensive blood test done and I requested testosterone testing to be done as well. Testing was done by Quest and it says:
Test, Free & total, LC/MS/MS: 252 ng/dl (Their normal ranges are: 250-1100)
Free Test: 62.5pg/ml (their normal ranges are: 35.0-155.0)
Globulin: 2.5g/dl (calc)
Albumin: 4.9g/dl
Albumin/Globulin Ratio 2.0 (calc)
My MD said I'm fine in the low normal range because my free test balances things out. I decided to check this out more and I'm gathering that I should be closer to 600 and up for my age. I'm 37, 6'1 & 186 lbs (kinda skinny fat).
Also, I've been taking 1,000 mg of Inositol for the last 6 months (helps with my anxiety) and have read that this supp could dramatically lower test in women, couldn't find any info for men though. Needless to say I just stopped taking that! I'd also like to mention I do have elevated cholesterol & triglycerides other than that everything looks good according to Quests values.
I don't feel like I'm suffering many of the typical low T symptoms. Except, I have some excess abdomen fat, I'm easily irritated, maybe less social, slight fatigue, but I chalked this all up to my anxiety. I recently & quickly impregnated my wife and have no problems in the bedroom...
I'm concerned about this, recommendations on who I should see? Assuming either Endocrinologist or a Urologist? Or is everything OK?
