    This is a concern as it can lead to poor bone mineralization, etc. However, correcting vitD levels will not help your testosterone. (Except for the generalization that proper nutrition supports healthy test levels.)

    Did your doctor order this? If so ask why, because there could be a great number of disorders he was investigating (not testosterone related). If you ordered it yourself out of curiosity then don't get overly excited about it. You can solve this by supplementing vitamin D. A lot of cows milk has this added.

    Most people who live in the top half of North America can't physically get enough sun to promote healthy vitD levels... and it is winter too. Everyone in Canada and most of the states should be making an effort to get more vitd in their diets.

    Ahem... LH and FSH tests? stop trying to find new and obscure causes! haha

    Vit D can improve free testosterone levels by virtue of decreasing shbg levels, but not to a large degree. And yes to directly above!

    If I end you getting T replacement, I have no clue what kind to take or whether the gel is better than the shots. If I get it, why not take advantage to build some muscles? I have a lot to learn. But I think this site is a good resource.

    Hopefully the doctor can restore your normal function and you won't have to worry about this.

    YES! And start with mastering diet and training before taking advantage of anything else.

    Thanks MODO for your input. I asked her to order the test out of curiosity. She also order liver function (liver enzymes) as she is considering testosterone replacement therapy in case the origin for low testosterone cannot be found.

    I am still waiting on the LH and FSH test. I was told they would be ready on Monday.
