You will need to talk to a doctor about this. The imbalance could be caused by many things. Low testosterone can sometimes be as a result of a tumour in the pituitary gland.

Unfortunately endocrine problems have to be checked in with a doc to see and rule out if you have any other underlying problems that have caused the imbalance. It would be good to find out what has caused this and try to rectify that instead of maybe levelling them temporarily . I agree with Hidden on this completely on this and think the best next step is to meet a doc with the test results .

Hi, you need to see a Urologist or Endocrinologist for the testosterone replacement if you need it. At your age it not uncommon to have low T. The doc needs to check your pituitary gland for one and have a heavy metals check done too. Mercury blocks the production of testosterone. That was my cause of Lo T. Do you have a mouth full of mercury fillings? Do you have any medicalconditions. There are a lot of things that can interfere with testosterone production. How physically active have you been over the years? As for the high estrogen level, it is very common. It's a simple solution. A prescription of Anastrozole will do the trick. It's cheap and will help you lose weight much easier. For help to manage your testosterone go to tnation.com and go under Forums and click on TRT at the bottom. There is a guy there that can help you KSman. I've been on it for over 10 years, and they can have my bottle of Testosterone Cypionate back when they pry it from my cold dead hand. There is no reason you have to feel this bad. Good Luck.

This results i'm afraid are meaningless without the laboratory results, the laboratory reference rages, and for the testosterone to be calculated using albumin and SHBG. With out this, they could be just normal fluctuations.
