Low testosterone result

Hi, new member here, I was having some issues and I suspected my testosterone level was low. My GP would not give me a blood test, though so I got one privately. The result came back at 7.01 nmol/L, which is considered low (I'm 37). I'm having a further blood test done soon.Hi, new member here, I was having some issues and I suspected my testosterone level was low.

Testosterone reported < 20

My testosterone was reported as < 20 six months after my last Lupron shot in September 2019. Why reported as < 20, why not 18 or 5 or whatever is the actual value. Can very low T increase bone loss and cardio-vascular risk?My testosterone was reported as < 20 six months after my last Lupron shot in September 2019.

Testosterone level results

Hello I got a testosterone test and my results came back as 13.1 nmol/L which seem ridiculously low for my age.. I'm 27.. I was stunned when I was told that the results are within the normal range.. Maybe its within normal range when you compare me with an 80 year old man with diabetes!!Hello I got a testosterone test and my results came back as 13.1 nmol/L which seem ridiculously low for my age..

Naturally High Testosterone causes water retention?

I got my hormones tested today and my testosterone is very high, I am not taking supplements or any weird stuff. Could this explain my water retention?I got my hormones tested today and my testosterone is very high, I am not taking supplements or any weird stuff. Could this explain my water retention?

Post ADT testosterone

Am I correct in assuming that no T-support -- either directly or "indirectly", i e. herbal etc -- should be used post-ADT of the risk of rising PSA? I'm feeling grateful that my libido has survived radiation and hormone therapy. So, if the answer is a definitive "no", I'll be OK.Am I correct in assuming that no T-support -- either directly or "indirectly", i e. herbal etc -- should be used post-ADT of the risk of rising PSA?

Stopping Casodex before stopping Lupron

Also, I had asked about checking my Testosterone level as I would like to have an idea what my nadir is prior to stopping ADT in two months. My last Testosterone level was 431 on October 9th, 2019 prior to starting ADT.Also, I had asked about checking my Testosterone level as I would like to have an idea what my nadir is prior to stopping ADT in two months.

Xtandi working

His testosterone has gone up to a normal range, since he is only taking Xtandi. What surprised me is that despite his testosterone going up -it's 6- his Psa lowered and also his alkaline phosphatase lowered from 1000 to 500? Any ideas as to what is happening? I hope this good news will continue!His testosterone has gone up to a normal range, since he is only taking Xtandi.

HRT - what do I need to know?

Having everything removed, have had a little google, seems I’ll be offered oestrogen and testosterone but when and how? Any tips / things to consider?
