Low T & Prolactinoma Issues

Hey guys I’m 24 years old i believe I’ve been dealing with low testosterone and other problems since the age of 16 that were untreated, i was feeling fatigue,depression, anti social, have a.d.d that i recently got diagnose with last year, E.D, low libido, and pretty much all the low t symptoms etc… the last 2 1/2 I’ve been getting treated to get rid of all these problems. I went to my primary doctor told her about my symptoms & that i suspected low t,she said no way your too young for low and gave me blood test without checking any hormones! bitch thought i wanted roids.

Also i had gyno when i was about 12-15 & again at age 21 so i went to see an endo took a blood test i don’t have the results but my t level was “normal” around 500 estrogen was slightly elevated so he prescribed me anastrozole. 25. I was on it for about 3mths but moved and found male hormone clinic checked my levels there (which I’ll find and post soon) my testosterone level was around 150:/ i guess estrogen levels were normal so i stopped anastrozole. But these guys were just trying to get me on trt instead of finding the cause of my low t, i denied to go on trt cause of all the sides so i told them about taking hcg or Clomid so i went on Clomid .25 everyday.

Quick questions
Anybody that’s been on Clomid for low t what were your results and symptoms before and after? I’ll post soon

We need the labs in list format with ranges.

You should not to anything without first testing LH/FSH.

Labs:
TT
FT
E2
LH/FSH !!!
prolactin and if was elevated should have had MRI to look at pituitary
CBC
TSH
fT3
fT4
DHEA-S
cholesterol - sometimes too low

Thanks for the reply I’ll try to post all my lab results ASAP… Iodized salt not sure actually I’ll check that out.

and I was gonna write about the MRI of my pituitary I got 3 weeks ago but was falling asleep haha. my endo put me on cabergoline 0.2 twice a week for hyperprolactinemia.

Sex Hormone Binding Globulin 10 - 50 nmol/L (44)
This is rather high, suggesting that E2 is high.
E2 should be tested.

T4, Free 0.6 - 1.4 ng/dL (0.8)
fT4 dropped, should be closer to mid range [1.0]
Lab range changed, results can vary by lab too.

Total cholesterol is way too low. Levels below 160 are associated with increased all=cause mortality. Cholesterol is the foundation for creating all of your steroid hormones, including cortisol and vit-D3. Try to increase cholesterol rich foods and fats.

Be sure to read those stickies!

I’ll read the stickies thanks, I’m just trying to post most of my history with my problems cause I have many many questions to ask… Don’t have alot of free time though cause I’m working alot of hours roofing, I’ll get back to you soon thanks
