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)
