this is one of my old tests from a few years back,i have none for the last couple of years,does that testosterone level seem right for my age??? (early thirties at the time)

the first test i got done after the crash the serum testosterone was even lower on that,(9.1 - nmol/L - (8.4-28.6)…???

Did you use steroids? And if not your test should go up after stopping propecia.

#3

ive used steroids in the past but not since i was 21,which was 7 years before i took my first propecia pill,do the other levels look ok for a man my age i wonder??? any advice etc greatly appreciated thanks…

Your T and SHBG are low for your age for sure. Luckily the free T is okay, but you should see a doctor, if you’re having some real symptoms also.

i have been to see three gp’s a urologist and an endo (all nhs) a few years ago now,the first gp i went to see just after the crash - i says to him “doc i cant enjoy sex anymore,i just cant feel anything???” he gets a little angry and hisses back,“well whats the problem just read a good book !!!”,i eventually found a gp who reffered me to the urologist who gave me a rectal exam and said your prostates fine heres some levitra,then it was onto the endo,i was thinking “finally” someone who knows what hes talking about and who can give me the help i need,i was to be dissapointed again,the endo tells me that all my levels are within normal range and im wasting my time going to see him anymore as theres nothing i can do for you,there cant be anything wrong with your test etc as your still very muscular,thats where i gave up going to see anymore docs,my story sounds like a lot of other stories i have read on here,although im not as affected as some by pfs i still have all the sexual sides after nearly 5 years of quitting propecia which is bad enough…
