Explore all other options/remedies before starting on a life long rememdy he may not need.
    Agree, I'm 32 and my test levels were alot lower.....I've been on trt for several months and still feel like shit... I think people are too quick to jump on trt imo...Me included, and it's just not a fix everything therapy.

    Dude, your 10 years older than the kid. I agree that TRT is not a saviour to the problem amongst individuals with low-t, however if individuals are within a certain age and are of healthy nature with LOW T that definitely should be looked into assuming there is no genetic or hereditary factors stoking low-t, just my two cents.

    My point was at 22, trt should be your last resort...After you check everything else and do lots of research... Why does he have low t though?? I would want to know that if i'm 22.

    UPDATE: So I went to the endo today. I walked into the clinic and she asked me the usual questions, family history etc etc.

    I showed her the test results and she said "oh that's not too bad?", there's some variation here and there." I told her that I was not happy with the results and it reflects on the low labido, low energy life I've been living. I didnt mention anything about the gym and she didn't ask me if I worked out (indicating that my muscle mass sucks).

    She said at my age trt shouldn't be something I should consider and that it will probably make me sterile.

    I feel very betrayed by all this. My luck so far has been absolute shit and I'm getting very depressed about this issue

    Just tonight there was this girl at a party telling me to come to the bar with her and I just felt like going home instead. My friends were all like dude what's wrong with you?
