hi all - firs post.
I'm a very fit 42 year old male (though i do have occasional vices). I lift some weights, trail run, and mountain bike. I am 6'2" and weigh 190.
I was curious about my testosterone levels, so i had my primary care doc run them.
Overall i feel really good. I just feel like sometimes my sex drive isn't where it should be, though overall my sex life with my wife is pretty good.
Sometimes i do feel run down.
So, not sure if all those things are just a part of being a busy adult, but as I said, I was curious.
I would love it if someone here who is really knowledgeable could verify my Docs claim that i do fall into "normal" range. Part of my issue is that his measurement scheme is different than the ones i find online.
I mean, my testosterone seems to fall into his consideration of "normal" range, but it also seems "low normal."
anyway, just looking for another opinion
Here it is:
I have just received your test results and I would like to share them with you.
Your hormonal tests were all in the normal range. Your thyroid function tests were normal.
Details are as follows:
Prolactin: 5.2 (Normal Range = 2.6 to 13.1)
Testosterone (pg/mL): 1944 (Normal Range = 1800 to 6650)
