Hello,
I'm a 52M and have had two rounds of blood work done (for annual physical type stuff) and my Testosterone numbers were around this each time:
Testosterone: 1147 NG/DL (high)
SHBG: 88.1 NMOL/L (high)
Free Testosterone: 138 PG/ML (normal)
My doctor is just a primary care type but she was all like, "oh you should go see a urologist about this high testosterone." and she made me an appointment. She is all sort of freaking me out about it. From my research a higher SHBG is not that abnormal for an older guy and Totatl Testosterone sort of follows SHBG. But since my Free T is normal, I'm thinking what's the big deal?
I do workout 5 times per week, I'm about 5'9" and 170lbs. I'm not on any TRT but do take some amino acids post workout.
Should I be worried?
