Dear Doctor, I am male, 25 yo. I do not have Hypogonadism, but yet I have a low blood testosterone level. I have never taken any anabolic supplements. I am not HIV positive. I have a very androgenic body form, with hair on my chest, back and legs and good build muscle formation on chest, back, arms, buttocks and legs. I have a normal sex drive. I do not have any sexual problems. Except that I can have sex for a very long time without having an orgasm. (but I guess this must be psychological (correct me if I am wrong, though)) YET I still have a low level. +/- 300 ng/100 ml, and a very low SHBG ... What can be the cause of such low measures? I have done this measures several times, in different medical laboratories ; they still have the same result : low testosterone levels. SHBG and FREE TESTO is also low. LH and FSH after GnrH are rising normal. DHEA is normal. Growth Hormone is normal. Cholesterol & Triglyceride levels are normal. Thyroid tests are normal. Liver tests are normal. Lymphocytes are normal. Red blood cell count is normal. I use complementary vitamin and mineral supplements. (Ultra preventive D from DOUGLAS LABORATORIES) Sincerely,

Tim

Tim,

You are indeed "hypogonadal" and should have an evaluation by an endocrinologist to further sort out this low testosterone problem.
