I'm 28 years old and I've been experiencing low libido and trouble staying hard. Sex doesn't feel as good either and I don't really want to have sex that much anymore which is tough for relationships.
I've seen many doctors, but haven't found one who understand hormones that's why I'm posting here bc I know you guys get it..... If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate, I'm currently not on any medication, but I took propecia for about 7 years, but I've been off it for two years. Are these levels normal for a 28 year old male in good shape because I have no libido and I used to be extremely horny:
Total Testosterone - 531 ng/DL (reference range 250 -1100)
Free Testosterone - 60.8 pg/mL (reference range 35 -155)
% Free Testosterone - 1.14 L (reference range 1.5 - 2.2)
DHT - 42 ng/dL (reference range 25 -75)
DHEA SULFATE - 273 (reference range 110 -510 mcg/dL)
LH - 5.0 (reference range 1.5 - 9.3 mIU/mL)
PROLACTIN - 4.6 (reference range 2 - 18 ng/mL)
ESTRADIOL - 30 (reference range 13 - 54 pg/mL)
SHBG - 32 (reference range 7 - 49 nmol/L)
I was thinking I need to lower my SHBG and ESTRADIOL levels since my % Free Testosterone is off the charts low. Maybe I need more free testosterone. I really don't know much about this - if anyone experienced can check this out and make recommendations that would be amazing because doctors just don't know about hormones.
Thanks !
