Hi,
   Yes, I did note that it was the free that is out of range. In fact the magic number of serum T is only valuable as a first level measurement. It is the free that is really important and even if one has low T, if the free is within range it would be considered ok. Before taking a decision on hormone replacement it is also required to check the free level.

Hi,
   Yes, I think you should be concerned, you should maintain the levels within range and also monitor the PSA levels regularly. Needless to mention that any hormone replacement treatment should be done as per a doctor's advice only  and regular consultation with the doctor is essential.
