My test results including androgen resistent test

First of all i was on accutane for more than a year in my puberty. Now i tried with 24 years for 4 days this drug (> 2 months ago) and experienced side effects after 2 days, stopped cold turkey. The pain subsided (balls, breasts), but im still impotent, not spontanious wood and less morning wood in the last week. Still ringing in the ears, sometimes head ache und a lot of fear from this experience. Now i was at a hormonl replacement clinic and did some tests, including a testosterone resistent test.

Blood Test:

LH (2-10 U/l) = 2.0
FSH (1-7 U/l) = 1.2
prolaktin (<500mU/l) = 166
testosteron (>12 nmol/l) = 19.8
SHBG (11-71 nmol/l) = 32
free testosterone (>250 pmol/l) = 437
Estradiol (<250 pmol/l) = 105
PSA (<4 qg/l) = 0.4
DHT (nmol/l) = 0.63

molecular genetic investigation on CAG-Tripletts in Exon 1 of androgenreceptors:

27 CAG-repeats

(The evaluation says, that there are indices that the transactivationpotential of the androgen receptors wanes depending on the length of the CAG-Repeat)

The doctor recommends me testosterone gel (50mg/ day) and the next check in 3 months. I dont want to shut down my own hormone production, i dont want to get bitch tits and a saw some stories with bad results after a HRT. I really dont know what to do… does anybody knows how to interprete these values.

what does it means? you do have androgen’s resistance?

that could be explain my side effects. I think this method is very new and the special hormon clinic is very familiar with Finasteride. I maybe found a way to cure this, but i will continue with testing. Also i think, everybody should do this test before taking propecia because of side effects.

I would definitely not go on TRT with those testosterone values. 50 mg Testogel a day may even give you a lower total testosterone level than you’ve already got.

What’s the lab’s reference range for DHT? It may be too low. Here in Norway, it’s 0.90 - 3.10 nmol/l

Also, you should check cortisol, TSH and the T3/rT3 ratio. LH/FSH looks suppressed.

Could you please clarify what this means in terms of androgen resistance?

DHT: 0.63 nmol/l (there was no reference range besides the value)
Cortisol basal: 63.7 ng/ml (43 - 224)
IGF-I: 339 ng/ml (116.0 - 358.0)
TSH: 1.53 uU/ml (0.55 - 4.78)
free T3: 2.75 pg/ml (2,30 - 4,20)
free T4: 0,95 ng/dl (0,89 - 1,76)

Cholesterin 126 mg/dl (<200);
Triglyzeride 105 mg/dl (<150);
GOT (AST) 56 U/I (10-50); (Did another test earlier on 24.02 after Disc. = 224!!!)
GPT (ALT) 70 U/I (10-50); (" = 50.8)?
MCHC 35.4 g/dl (32.4 - 35);
Gamma-GT 10 U/l (< 66); (" = 15.4)

what is t3/rT3 ratio? I will wait before i take Testosterone. I want to increase my T naturally. Im now 4 months off. On Thursday i will remove my variocele (already found some papers about increase in T after doing this on people over time). Aswell as doing high intense workout and daily intermediate fasting

My second adress is gut/liver. Some people claim to get some improvements and like you see, my liver values were extremely high after one month off. I believe in a way of recovery with reducing inflammation. (Better before as shutting down my T Production :smiley: )

It’s maybe funny for some people, but im also in “NoFap” atm (perfect time, because i dont have a boner anyway (sometimes morning wood) and never was so Asexuall, very lonley in world) and know sth. about elevated Prolactin levels. I will not stop and force my libidio back! I will stay on it, maybe it can help.

As you read this “Finasteride victim”: Yes, i was there. Im sorry i can’t answer you via pm(If a admin read this, please help me). It is totally interesting that you have the same CAG Repeat length!!! Maybe another members join us in this point.

Contact me pls

Hi Huntsman,
This method sounds very interesting. I am also from Germany. Could you tell me where I can get the test?

hey,
im sorry, i cant answer private messages. Could a admin pls fix this

i’m german & this was a androgen test from the UKM Münster. There was allready another person made the same test with exact the same values. Sb. wrote that pfs maybe has to do sth. with androgen insensivity.

so keep calm. :slight_smile:

Hi Huntsman, did you visit Dr. Zitzmann at UKM Münster? I might also visit him.
