Testosterone/Estradiol ratio - Is it okay? Or should I change my doctor?

[lidocain]

Hi!

So first: Sorry for my poor English, but i've been learning it since november.

I'm a 20 years old guy from Hungary. 2 years ago I got tested my blood for testosterone,
shbg, dhea-s because I've had the symptoms just like:

- puffy niples or gynecomastia
- low sex drive - when I'm alone I don't feel anything so it's the typical "I don't need sex"
- relative fat belly because my BMI is just 19. body fat : 3% - 2 kgs-
- I'm often in a bad mood
- My beard started to grow 2 years ago but it is still very rare and weak.
- I'm usually tired and I need a lot of sleeping - between 10-11 hours/day-
- my arms are too weak - and when i tried to train them, they didn't become stronger or bigger.
- I think my face and body are rather girlish ( and sometimes my behavior too)

I usually eat normal (vitamins too) and I do exercises.


This is my first test result (2 years ago):

Testosterone: 21.25 nmol/L , normal: 9.9-27.8
Shbg: 29.4 nmol/L , normal: 30-48
dhea-s: 14,62 umol/L - normal 3,8 - 21,4 umol/l

My doctor said " everything is okay, you don't have any problems".

But a few months ago I asked my doctor to make a new a test.

this is my new result:

testosterone: 19.93 nmol/L , normal: 9.9-27.8
Prolactin: 126.10 mU/L , normal: 102-496
LH : 3.5 U/L , normal: 1.7-8.6
FSH: 3.3 U/L , normal: 1,5-12.4
DHEA-s: 9.73 umol/L , normal: 3,8 - 21,4 µmol/l
SHBG: 31.53 nmol/L , normal: 30-48
estradiol: 112.9 pmol/L normal: 28-156

But the doctor said again: everything is okay, don't worry.

I found an article about testosterone/estradiol ratio and it says it would be good between 20-40 or at age 20 between 30-40.
What do you think, my T/E ratio is okay? Some doctors said it would be better to test my saliva
because there are the right hormon levels and not in the blood. What do you think are they right? Or have you
any other ideas what to do? I'm really down because my body and my mind is tired, weak. Every guys have a normal body,
high sex drive and they are usually happy, but i don't.

Hormone look in check need to evaluate other areas (thyroid, adrenals,). Saliva is BS for testosterone, but good for adrenals.
