Low Testostrone

Hi guys.
I’m 29 years old and My T level is 300 ng/dL so I went to an endocrinologist. He asked me about my libido, morning wood, my testicle size, my chest and face hair and … . I said him I have not any problem. My testicles are shaped like eggs with the smaller diameter being ~1.2” and the larger diameter being 2 inches. I’m horny and have morninig wood most days. Also my FSH & LH were 1.7 (in normal range).
He told me 2 points:
1- doctors usually prescribe Testosterone test when they see clinical signs. He told me why you tested T level when you did not see clinical signs and side effect of low T.
2- He told : you should know the free total T in your body. total T is not an accurate thing to judgment.
He told me, in my opinion you do not need TRT.

What do think guys?

I would follow his advice since you’ve got neither of the low testosterone conditions.

300 ng/dL is on the lower side but still normal.

As a non-doctor, my medical opinion: Do everything humanly possible at this point in your life to increase T, short of TRT. You’re young enough (I know, it probably doesn’t seem like it) that natural methods can take hold. If you were 75, that would be a different story. TRT works great for some guys, not for others. It’s not a blanket cure.

Yes. The doctor said TRT could lead to testicular atrophy.

Another think that I think why my T is low:
My sleep habit is awful. From 2 am to 7am. I heard the golden sleep time is from 10p to 1am. So I lose this time.

Not sure if makes any differences when you’re gonna sleep. I think it’s more important to sleep without disturbances. Varies from person to person the amount of sleep, but for most should be around 6 to 9 hours.

My friend my FSH was high and SHBG was also high but my free testosterone was low. My family physician told me that I was normal. I went to a neuroscientist who practiced Funktional Medicine, he told me that it wasn’t normal.

My morning and Evening testosterone was normal but everything else said otherwise. I did some tests and discovered that my body was having issues processing mold in my body. I’ve had a mild issue in my home and once he said that I was I. Shock. It turns out that the mycotoxins produced by mold are mistaken for estrogen in the body so the body produces more SHBG which eats up all your testosterone and estrogen unnecessarily this is what caused my sex horomones to go out of wack. Maybe check that out. Find a mold doctor who can diagnose this as most general practitioners are not familiar with the test for this as it is not used in most public healthcare

Thanks.
How much was your total and free testosterone?
And what about now? Are you fine?

Thats interesting. Last few months I wondered about any much day time spontaneous erections.. I’ve not many. Morning wood, yes, most mornings. When I don’t, is I think its when I sleep later than my usual schedule, or I am sleepless so onset is later.

Recently I had blood work done and at the last moment I just asked to include T, results came in and I was 250. Age, mid 40s.

I did suspect it might be low but I don’t know for how many years.

From what I have heard, testosterone’s functionality is in part determined by SHBG. If SHBG is high, testosterone levels must be higher for the same effect in the body. If SHBG is low, testosterone levels can be lower and have the same effect.

Hormones are a very complicated subject that is not completely understood yet. I think your doctor is correct in not prescribing anything while your body seems to be functioning correctly.

Well functioning healthy body with no low testosterone induced symptoms should not be tweaked with exogenous testosterone treatments..

Health wise there is nothing to gain.

well in the past 10 months i’ve had cases of where i have sexual intimacy with a woman, and then i go 24-48 hrs w/o a erection. sometimes i try with cilais and it remains like that too. so i’m not sure if it’s due to low T. once this year i was having intimacy and merely changed position, and during this ‘transition’ i nol onger had a erection, for 20 min and then couldn’t get it for the rest of the night until very late while i was doing nothing in bed and it came back.
