Hi jazzanne,

You are in the wrong group. Hopefully, your son will never end up in an advanced prostate cancer group.

But I can say that his testosterone is seriously low (if I converted it correctly.) 8.8 nmol/L is 254 ng/dL (using the more familiar units in the U.S.) This is 100 points below the 350 ng/dL cutoff for hypogonadism. He should see a specialist, IMO.

pjoshea13 is right definitely to low the question is why. Get him to specialist, he should be running at least in the 20 mmol/l running some blood to see how paturtery gland is working and adrenal glands. Hope you find some answers.
