    Endocrinologist said my test had rebounded and was back to normal at 377ng

    I give up i tried explaining to him that i am 20 years old and i feel terrible and i should be somewhere around 800. He said no no no everything is back to normal low testesterone is not the cause of your problems. I can't find my old post but can someone give me the information of that low t doc in Pennsylvania.

    That is low for your age. Did you get the right tests to detrmine why it's low(primary vs secondary)? At your age you want to find out why and try to treat that before jumping into trt.

    One thing that needs to happen in the medical community is the idea of "For Your Age" needs to be thrown in the trash can. Optimal testosterone is optimal regardless of age just as 20/20 vision is 20/20 vision regardless of your age.

    uva, if the problem is in the testicles that would make you primary.

    Go to Dr Thorner at UVA, he is good with TRT and will investigate all potential causes before medicating, he does research for a living so he wants to know the 'why' before treating
