Low Testosterone Help

[macbooktim]

I have most of the classic symptoms with Low Testosterone:  Low libido, fat in mid-section, fatigue, grumpy, low stamina, medium/weak erections etc.,

Went to my Urologist.  After blood work, he said I was fine and prescribed nothing.  I'm thinking he's crazy.  Can someone review my readings and give me an unofficial recommendation?  I'm thinking I should've been recommended some sort of therapy, and if so, which therapy is good for my situation?

Here are my readings:
Prolactin, Serum      9.5 ng/mL     (2.0-18.0)
Testosterone Total   278 ng/dl      (250-1100)
Testosterone Free    2.88%          (1.50-2.20)
Testosterone Free    80.1 pg/mL   (35.0-155.)

Just a little info on Low Testerone. About a year ago I went to the doctor and had blood test ran and found out that I was low on testerone. I had the same symptoms you are having. Your testeron levels should be tested in the morning because this is when your levels should be at their highest. I am 30 years old and having this problem. I began taking testerone and have had amazing results with energy and loss of the fatigue. Most of the time unfortunately they will not prescribe you testerone unless your levels are below I believe 215. I was at a 200. I really do not agree with this because it seems as though being in the 200 levels is low for 30 or even 40. Your levels will drop the older you get but these levels should only be found in like a 70 to 90 year old. Now I am not a doctor, but this seems like common since to me that if your this young with this low of testerone, they would do something. It is considered a controlled narcotic so maybe thats why. As far as the Ed goes for me, I have not seen a improvement this far with treatment on that issue. I think I may have enlarged prostate that could be causing that issue. Will be visiting urology soon.
