After running into some 'low T' symptoms (low libido, weight gain, mood swings, osteopenia, and lack of energy) an endocrinologist ran several tests to check things out. After he reviewed them, he said everything was 'normal'. There was very little explanation of the numbers, or how they interacted.
My testosterone numbers :
Bioavailable : 118.8 ng/dl
SHBG : 34 nmol/l
Total : 471 ng/dl
Free : 63.1 pg/ml
Some research I've done points to my total and free being a bit on the low side for my age, but my SHBG is actually in good order (going off the Vermeulen, A 1996 study)
I'm wondering if all the numbers are in fact normal or if they're pointing to another cause for the symptoms. Thanks in advance for any advice/help - it's much appreciated.
