HRT with normal test level?

[NH88001]

I've never used gear, but I was on Finasteride for a few years. I developed gyno from it and I suffer from fatigue, weak erections and low libido despite the fact my bloodwork is "normal".

Would TRT be useful for someone in my situation? I feel like I might have issues with estrogen, but nothing jumps out on my bloodwork according to my doctor. I'm seeing a urologist for my 2nd visit soon. It doesn't look like I have any physical plumbing problems, and I'm certain this isn't in my head because the gyno is very real. Is there something I should specifically ask to have checked or some course of treatment I can suggest to my doc?

Here are my lab results.

36 year old, 5'11, 210.

FSH 6.5 ---- 1.6 TO 8 RANGE

LH 3.2 ---- 1.5 TO 9 RANGE

PROLACTIN 5.6 ---- 2 TO 18 RANGE

TESTOSTERONE 990 ---- 250 TO 1100 RANGE

FREE TESTOSTERONE 145 ---- 35 TO 155 RANGE

ESTRADIOL 28 ---- < OR = 39 RANGE

SHBG 41---- 10-50 RANGE

DHT 31 ---- 25-75 RANGE

Your numbers like great.

Has anyone looked at your thyroid yet? I would see an endo...

Hey, thanks for responding. I actually did have an endo look my bloodwork. He said everything was ok and prescribed me V (didn't really work).

Here are my thyroid numbers.

T3 UPTAKE 31----22 TO 35% RANGE

T4 7.2----4.5 TO 12 RANGE

FREE T4 2.2---- 1.4 TO 3.8 RANGE

Sorry man, I can`t help more. But you don`t want TRT when you have numbers like yours....I would kill for those. Has your doctor giving up finding the root cause?

No TRT won't do much here since your free T and total are on the high side. not sure if e2 is sensitive assay but yes it could be your problem. also shbg is a bit high, you may want to supplement with vitamin D to help lower it, this will also increase your free T. what I don't understand is how you got your T so high with low LH?!

Try femara worked well for me not with my lipido but with gyno

I believe your problem could be caused by your low DHT level.
From my understanding, DHT is more important to men in many ways than testosterone.

Unfortunately, DHT quickens MPB. Finasteride works by lowering the conversion rate of testosterone to DHT.

My guess, and I do mean total guess, is that your high testosterone level is caused by a lingering effect of the Finasteride on your body. Since you are converting less Testosterone to DHT, your test stays high but your DHT stays low.

I am unsure how to raise DHT. (I do think they may have a compounded cream but I do not know.)

I would definitely like to hear some more experienced members comments on this. (esp. KelKel)
