I am 41 years old. As a young child i suffered testicular damage which actually displaced one of my testicles. I had to have surgery to have it moved back into the scrotum. I'll bullet point this to save wasted words...
- Puberty, despite being skinny and playing sports, got developed-boobs.
- At 37, changed my life completely. Diet, hard training in the gym, constant exersize. Still had the man-boobs. Made me do some research. Got bloods done.
Testosterone - 9.6nmol
SHBG - 23 nmol
Calculated Free Test - 234
- Researched hypogonadism and its causes, including testicular damage. Found out my T was extremely low. Got on Testosterone from an Endocrinologist for about 18 months.
My testosterone is now 14.0nmol. I understand that this falls on the low end of the category as normal levels for my age group (41). My endo will not give me Testosterone anymore. I am extremely active, lift heavy 5 times a week, work in active outdoor employment and in my free time am surfing/playing sport etc. I eat VERY healthy. I consider this to still be low for me, as i am not your average 41 year old and i dont think i should be compared on a list of 41 year olds, who mostly are fat and lazy. I want to be optimal.
So my question is.... how do i go about getting Testosterone another way if my endocrinologist (Who is absurdly fat and unhealthy himself) wont give it to me? Is there online endo's who are more modern and dont use a flat scale for everyone?
Thank you for your time.
