Low Estradiol and low testosterone - Blood Test
Hello everyone,
I'm a 28 years old italian man, sorry for my english.
I often do workout at home since I was 18, but I have many problems to build muscles and body retention.
I guess it's my genetic because I have the same "defects" of my dad.
The results are that I'm really unsatisfied and unhappy of my condition.
I don't have so much ambitions, I understand that bodybuilding isn't for me but now the condition is worsened because I feel lethargic, I have low sex drive and apathy.
I used finasteride for hair loss for 6 years, I though that was the problem but I stopped it almost two years ago.
So, last week I did the blood test and here are the results:
Albumin 4.6 g/dL [3,5 - 5,0]
Prolactin 12.6 ng/mL [3,5 - 19,4]
Progesterone 0.2 ng/mL[<0,2] *
Estradiol 13 pg/mL [11 - 44] *
TSH 2.077 ulU/mL [0,250 - 4,500]
DHEA 2796 µg/mL [/U][/U][/U][/U][/U][/U][/U][/U][200 - 4900]
Cortisol 17.5 ug/dL [5,0 - 25,0]
Testosterone 3.25 ng/mL [1,66 - 8,77] *
Free Testosterone 10.4 pg/mL [16,0 -41,0] *
SHBG 24.3 nmol/L [10 - 70]
I don't know if values are similar in other country from mine, but I have low testosterone, low free testosterone, low estradiol. Maybe progesterone is at the high end.
My symptoms are:
I lack of pleasure,
I don't want to do anything
No morning erection
Not solid erection (75%)
Lack of sex drive
Long time to recovery from one orgasm to another
Orgasm not so pleasurable
Difficulty to build muscle
Easy to gain weight
Apathy
Anxiety
Irritability
Can someone say me if my symptoms are related to this values?
Why Low Testosterone and low estrogen at the same time?
I know that high SHBG and albumin means low testosterone, but they are low. Can be a problem of dopamine or serotonin?
I don't want to continue this situation. :(
Thanks for the help.
