Avatar n tn The normal range of testosterone in males is 300 -1,000 ng/dL and in females it is 15 - 70 ng/dL.The normal ranges vary among laboratories. Few labs may use different measurements or test different specimens. It is best to talk to your doctor about the interpretation of test results. Write to me again with more queries. Best wishes and regards!
Avatar m tn t know if their numbers for the normal healthy ranges are for males for any time in life, or what. Does anyone know ranges that are age-specific?
Avatar m tn is all hope lost if i dont seek help within a certain time period for something like testosterone shots? i read online it can be less effective as the person gets older which is partially why i am scared.
Avatar m tn I personally think the whole testosterone treatment is a scam. Nobody tested me for free and albumin bound testosterone, the biologically active forms. Total testosterone is useless. This is like measuring total cholesterol without the HDL and LDL fractions. The primary practice docs are totally clueless. I would recommend talking to a good endocrinologist only.
Avatar f tn The gynecomastia leads to body disturbances for males especially at a young age. This can be causing a big part of the depression. Also talk to the health care provider about weight and see if this could have something to do about the low testosterone levels.
Avatar m tn It happens that there a large number of such genes differentially expressed during infection between males and females. For example genes that encode for proinflammatory T cell and Ig superfamily proteins is higher in males than females. Males have higher expression of heat protein shock genes, suggesting that cellular stress us elevated in males.
Avatar m tn Just wanted to see if there were any males that deal with low testosterone. I already had planned on getting the test.
Avatar f tn 36pm AEST Females of an Australian species of lizard rely on testosterone for a most unusual method of keeping amorous males off their back, researchers have found. Evolutionary ecology Dr Devi Stuart-Fox of the University of Melbourne, and colleagues, report their findings online ahead of print publication in the Journal of Comparative Physiology A. In most animals that use colourful displays for attraction, it's usually the male that's flashy, such as the peacock.
17698157 tn?1459229144 my age is 30 I got married in 2011 I have no sperm count means zero and very low testosterone level, some Dr said your FSH and Lh levels are very high as normal ranges in males..
Avatar m tn Could you list your lab ranges for testosterone and prolactin. In general, blood prolactin above 200 ng/ml almost always is diagnostic of a true prolactinoma. High prolacin lowers testosterone. And if your testosterone is also measured in ng/dL that is so low it's ridiculous! Research shows over 95% of euthyroid patients with no thyroid symptoms has a TSH under 2.5mU/L. TSH is of no value with conditions that do not affect the thyroid such as central hypothyroidism and cellular resistance.
277836 tn?1359666174 Yes, you can get your testosterone levels checked. Extreme fatigue could be due to low testosterone in males, anemia, diabetes, hypothyroidism, or due to kidney or liver problems. Another possibility is sleep disturbances (like sleep apnea, imbalance of rapid eye and non rapid eye movement sleep etc.). You may sleep your customary 7-8 hours and yet feel fatigued. You need sleep studies to rule this out.
Avatar n tn Testosterone is very important for females as well as males. Testosterone also converts into estrogen. All three primacy sex hormones all interact with one another and having them in the proper balance at the proper time is very important and complex. Do you have any menstrual cycle irregularities? Can you also tell us your diet and the level of exercise you do? Are you an "extreme" athlete of any sort?
Avatar n tn Has anyone else experienced a low testosterone level after this tumor removal and if so what course of action did you have to take? I am 46 now and I understand testosterone levels do begin to drop a bi tin males once reaching the age of 40.
Avatar m tn I am an 18 year old TransMale (FtM; Female to Male) and been on testosterone for about 2 years now. Recently I've been almost constantly thinking about sex and masturbation. Even the female genitalia I once hated has started to serve some purpose to my recent activites. I keep looking at porn or manga to maybe just get the tension out by reading; which it doesn't really help. Thoughts of just taking an extra long "shower" or getting a FWB keep popping up.
Avatar m tn Ive had hot flashes from 18 on albeit sporadicly. They could be quite intense. Im 33 now since Ive been treated for low testosterone I haven't had any.
Avatar m tn For some males, especially young males it takes very little stimulation for an erection to occur. This does not mean you are gay or that you are attracted to other males. It most likely is the stimulation of the showers. I know this must be embarrassing for you but rest assured there is nothing wrong, this can be quite normal. In time this will not be an issue as you mature and become less sensitive. Good luck to you. I promise this will get better.
Avatar m tn Androgel is a testosterone cream for Males. It should be applied under the arms and never on the Penis as suggested. Please, please make certain no child or female ever touches the applied area before showering or washing it off. serious consequences can and do occur.
4326355 tn?1354357341 I have no energy and no sex drive with my wife right now and want to fix it. Also could bi polar do anything to my testosterone level? Thanks for any help anyone can give me.
Avatar m tn Hi, How are you? Testosterone has been used for many decades for the treatment of testosterone deficient males.Today options for treatment include topical testosterone gels and creams, short and long acting injections of testosterone esters, application of testosterone through skin patches, subcutaneous testosterone implants, and oral testosterone capsules. The injection is given deep intra-muscular and is quite often painful.
Avatar m tn 25 inch length, barely 3 inches in breadth) for my height, I also have extremely narrow shoulders (16 inch bideltoid!), thin wrists (Barely 6 inch circumference), and so forth. Overall it seems like the bone structure in my body hasn't grown at all since I was maybe 11 or so... All that happened was that my face/skull developed A LOT, and my legs/arms grew much longer.
Avatar n tn Yes and no. :-) By four years of age, certain male behavior is already established. An unaltered male has had plenty of testosterone in his system so he's probably developed a dominant personality. Not all unneutered males are dominant, but the likelihood is higher. Do not confuse "dominant" with "aggressive". Those are two entirely different behaviors.
Avatar f tn Hai, would like to know it dangerous for 10 year old boy is having lump that is underneath the nipple?
Avatar m tn Hi, I was born with both undescended testicles, my left came down before the age of but the right did not untill I was about 12-13 y/o. The family doctor at the time figgered that the right could be moved down by daily manipulating it toward the scrotum. By the way this procedure did not start untill I was about 11. I grew up fairly normal, other than starting puberty early. At the age of 25, I got married and a couple of years later my wife and I tried to conceive a child.
Avatar m tn the only abnormality that the doctors have found is I am in the 1% males with as high of testosterone levels as i have. The doctor was concerned because he thought i was taking steroids. Clearly not. no research has shown testosterone to cause reduced sex drive. which doesn't effect me, im hornier then no other. Im planning on going to san diego for their sexual medicine hospital and see dr. irwin goldstein. I was wondering if anyone has either met someone like this or has it themselves.
Avatar f tn It’s not uncommon for teens going thru puberty to have rather strong sexual urges. This is a little more common for teen guys, since Testosterone is generally thought to be the hormone that fuels libido, and males will start producing a lot of it at that age. But during puberty, girls’ hormones are changing & surging as well, including Testosterone, altho normally at much lower levels than the guys. So it could be that these hormonal changes are what’s driving sexual feelings.
Avatar m tn Gals reach their full height at 18 years old ..but males keep growing for a few more years ..Their are two periods in your life when you grow more rapidly,one is after you are born to 6 months old.,the second when you reach your early teens ...Girls grow faster till they are teenagers then boys catch up and grow faster and stronger . Your head stops growing earlier than the rest of you ...So from this one can gather you still have some growing to do ..best of luck heres a link www.
