Low Testosterone, high prolactin...could this be the cause?

General Discussion
#1

I recieved part of the results from my hormonal analysis. It shows that:

Testosterone: 2.8 ng/ml (3-10)

TSH: 1.6 mcu/ml (0.1-3.5)

FSH: 4.5 mUI/ml (1.5-7.0)

LH: 6.8 mUI/ml (1.5-7.5)

Prolactin: 16.6 ng/ml (2.0-11)

SHBG: 11.5 nmol/ml (12.0-75.0)

FAI: 84.4 (50.0-140.0)

Estradiol: 30.0pg/ml (men inf. to 40)

I´m still waiting for DHT, DHEA, T3, T4, Free Testosterone, Total estrogens, Albumin, etc.

I notices that my testosterone is very low and that my Prolactin is quite high. Also my SHBG is low.

Can this be the cause of my lack of energy, low libido, erectile disfunction, low quantity/watery semen, etc?

Any comments will be appreciated.

Thanks.

yea if prolactin is high you will experience all those problems. There is medicine you can take to lower prolactin. I would be more concerned though with a prolactinoma which is a tumor in the pituitary gland which secretes prolactin and will shut down other hormone release. You need to get a MRI of your head to see if there is a tumor in your pituitary. If there is medication will shrink the tumor and bring the hormones back in range.
