No, he doesn’t.

The only Free T test he lists puts it over 21, in the upper half of the range. He needs to get something else tested, because these labs are clearly saying it’s likely something else that is his problem. I’m guessing porn.

This is not calculated free test, it is measures using direct assay and doesnt mean a shit. In Europe free test should not be tested at all but only calculated by the formula

24

In Poland it sucks for TRT but there are clinics and practitioners in EU that will help you. @dbossa can be able to help here. I also live in Europe but dont know them so well since I managed to get a prescription from a local doctor

25

for me it is possible to get testosterone in black and all in all, this is probably the only option for now. unless I take winstrol and block me and somehow it will work?

26

Agreed 100%

27

Winstrol will shut you down, and then you have no test or E2 in your system, after a while, because it’s not testosterone.

28

winstrol is worse idea than proviron. any synthetic steroid is a bad idea for a man with suspected testosterone deficiency

29

what should i do? It seems to me that if I do not feel any urge at all, the problem is somewhere in the hormones. I have already eliminated all other factors, it has been going on for a year.

30

Have you tested thyroid hormones and all possible mineral deficiences?

Stop watching porn

Yes bro i tested IT.
Generally I see something is wrong with me. I had strong morning visions and now I do not always have them at all or they are sometimes incomplete. I can see that my left testicles have decreased, although the urologist said that the ultrasound is fine, although I know that the left testicle was much larger than the inspection and now the difference between the testicles is in millimeters, also something is wrong. I wanted to do something myself, so proviron will just fly to the front in small doses - we’ll see if he feels a little bit of this libido. It won’t be worse, because so far there is a drama, and I want to do something myself in order to function normally.

33

You may have had a hydrocele, that went away, or you developed one on the opposite one makeing the other seem smaller.

34

There is no way Poland has accurate laboratory testing when it comes to Free T, the UK and European laboratory testing is subpar as well. Therefore you can disregard the direct Free T testing and use the calculated method for determining Free T which is what I did in your other thread.

Hell even in the US the direct immunoassay method is still in use for direct Free T testing. The only testing methods that should be used or trusted for Free T is the Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration.

35

This is what Im trying to explain, but some clever heads are telling him his free t is good. No this free t value is a bulshit value with no real significance whatsoever. It is neither good or bad because it is totally innacurate. I was under the same confusion for a long time before starting TRT, my free t looked good in the range

36

Or easier and cheaper calculating it by the formula. Accurate enough for our purposes

37

thanks for the answer. you once made me realize measuring free testosterone in laboratories is crap. What can I do myself to finally wear? what do you think about this proviron in small doses to see if there will be any improvement, as i already wrote on trt, i don’t count - when i was at the urologist with shbg above the norm, he said that i had high shbg and wrote cialis - and how to live here

38

Nicely put!

39

Unreal how the above advice for this 22 year old guy is centered on trt . Hard artery had it right

Post all your labs. You say no medications. But any supplements?

You need to rule out thyroid issues, adrenal issues.
It seems like your main complaint is libido and dick. Could be cardiovascular problem.
I would see a cardiologist do ekg and an echo for sure. What’s you blood pressure?

Labs:

Metabolic panel
Lipid panel
Cbc
A1c
Prolactin
Free t and total t ( I would take within 1 hour of getting up)
Thyroid panel and antibodies
Dhea-s
Am cortisol
Insulin fasting
Ferritin
Iron panel
Vit b12 and folate

It wasn’t centered on TRT. I had said to not rule out the possibility out of a million other possibilities. Some people were insisting that it definitely wasn’t T related and I don’t know how they could have arrived at that conclusion.
