That is in the low end according to the doctors rule of thumb. When I had my checked the levels where like 290 to 800 was normal range which is bullshit.
Some doctors go by the book when they suppose to have the pateients best interest and health in mind instead.
Also depends on what time of day you did your test. Late in the afternoon after eating it will be lower. If you test fasted in the morning there will be a difference.
This is from personal experience.
If my blood count was at 317,.........my Dr would increase my TRT dose.
Just sayin.
yeah makwa is spot on. one man may feel great at 317 ng and lead a great life. I myself feel.like complete dog shit at that level. once i coukdnt get my natural levels above that is when i had to reluctantly take the plung to trt after over a year of misery . largely based on genetics and what your levels have been for the majority of your life.
It is on the low end. The more important thing is how do you feel?
I agree but that is still very low for a 33 year old I think.
I think it is low also, but as long as he isn't experiencing brain fog, libido issues, lethargy, fat gain and all the other classic symptoms of low T it might be best to hold off from becoming a slave to the pin for the rest of his life. Any of those classic symptoms present then TRT is the way to go even with borderline levels.
Yea that's true. I just hope curiosity doesn't get the best of him. At least he is asking........
X2. It appears low. Everyone is different though.. that's why the range of normal is so vast. For example, my bloods showed my total test around 370, and my free test around 90 I believe. This was maybe 8mos after last cycle. I felt great, no libido issues, lethargy, depression, or your typical low T symptoms.
