Hey dude you need to get a complete hormonal panel done to really understand whats going on.
For example here is just one of the checks you need to have and after you read this you will understand this one, but there are many other. Tell your doc yo want a complete hormonal panel done.

DHEA-S: The Most Abundant Steroid Hormone

When you test for DHEA, you are actually testing for DHEA-S. DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is secreted by the adrenal glands and then converted in the body into DHEA-S or dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate. DHEA-S is the storage form of this hormone in the body. So the test will show how much DHEA has been converted and is circulating throughout the body.
DHEA is a precursor for many other hormones, including testosterone and estrogen. As with other major hormones, the body’s production of DHEA begins to diminish in one’s thirties, dropping by about 10% per decade of life in both women and men. Studies show that this decline is correlated with many of the degenerative diseases of aging, such as heart disease, cancer, and osteoporosis.13
One of the most notable studies on the use of DHEA supplementation to counteract the effects of aging was conducted by researchers at the University of California School of Medicine.14 This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial followed 17 women and 13 men, aged 40-70, over a six-month period. The subjects were given 50 mg of DHEA a day for three months, and then were given a placebo for three months. Within two weeks of beginning DHEA supplementation, the patients had attained DHEA blood levels comparable to those of young adults. After three months of DHEA supplementation, 84% of the women and 64% of the men reported a remarkable increase in self-perceived physical and psychological well-being, including improved quality of sleep, less anxiety, increased energy, and better ability to handle stress.
In addition to promoting overall health, DHEA supplementation can also help women regain their sexual edge. A recent study published in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy examined the effects of DHEA supplementation (50 mg per day) on 111 premenopausal women, aged 35-55, over a period of two to six months.15 Women taking DHEA supplements reported marked improvements in sexual function, in terms of desire, arousal, lubrication, satisfaction, and orgasm.
One of the most ambitious studies on the relationship between aging and DHEA levels was begun in 1958 in Baltimore and continues to this day. Known as the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging, it has been carefully examining the aging process in more then 1,000 people between the ages of ages 20 and 90. A recent study in the prestigious journal Science examined the correlation between certain biomarkers, including DHEA-S, and overall health.16 Men who had higher levels of DHEA-S lived longer, healthier lives than men with lower levels of DHEA-S, leading the study authors to conclude, “DHEA-S, which declines in . . . humans during normal aging, may be important in health maintenance and may serve as another potential longevity marker.”
