Hello everyone,
I will begin by saying that I am 27 years old and I just got back my blood work results. I am not happy with the results but I was expecting it since I was not feeling my best for a while. Actually, this was the reason to have my blood tested in a first place.
-27
-5’7"
-35 in
-185 lbs
-thick hair on the legs, normal hair on arms and chest, no hair on back; no thick facial hair but I still need to shave every 3-4 days.
-I carry most of my fat on my belly. It has always been this way but in the last few months it increased even more.
-no health conditions besides allergies
-I have never taken any hair loss or prostate drugs
-I do not count calories and always eat as much as I want; I have intermediate fasted for the last 3 months.
-My strength training is usually 3 to 5 compound exercise (usually one push, one pull, and one lower body), 3 to 5 reps with heavy weight (I autoregulate). I lift weights 2-5 times a week, also training conditioning 1-2 times a week (either interval training or aerobic running). Additionally, I training MMA/Muay Thai 2-4 times a week. I train once a day, so if I do strength training I don’t do MMA or conditioning…or if I do train MMA I don’t do strength training or conditioning.
-testes ache, ever, with a fever? My testes sometimes ache but not too often, maybe once in a few months.
-how have morning wood and nocturnal erections changed: here is a bit confusing because some morning I have morning wood and others I don’t.

As you can see my TT and FT are low normal, which I read is not good. E2 seems okay but Prolactin is high. I really do not understand the rest of the hormones.
I need advice what should I do. Should I consider TRT? Or do you think that if I lower the prolactin level to 7-9 ng/mL my TT and FT would go up? Any advice is much appreciated.
Let me know if you need more information.
Thank you!
