hello,
A little background on me: when I was young I had an operation for an undescended testicle which was clamped and or stitced into place? and subsequently I have that side underdeveloped.
Since my teen years I have been diagnosed with having depression with ocd and obsessive thought processes ( according to my drs) for which I took most SSRI's, none of them helped me in the slightest, while a couple of them got withdrawn as a treatment due to me turning more aggressive and more depressed which led to being arrestred multiple times by the police.
I got asked recently by my doctor do i get any morning errections or errections while I sleep? and quite honestly I didnt know the answer, if I do I think its a rare thing.
Over the years I have complained to my Doctors about symptoms such as:
Depression
Anxiety
Sleep problems
Low energy
Low drive/determination
Irritability
Hair Loss
Skin Problems
I also have excessive fat around my middle and chest but not on my arms or legs much, I workout at the gym 5 days a week but find it hard to lose any fat around my middle and I also get fatigued very easy, usually requiring me to fall asleep for 1-2 hours after to recharge myself...
Recently I have also become fustrated due to my fiancee not becoming pregnant, we have had unprotected sex for well over 1 year and nothing, of course the problem could be at her side, but I would put money on it being me that also infertile.
Since 2005 i have had 3 tests on my testosterone the results are as follows:
2005 - 8.9 nmol (range 9.0-29.0)
2006 - 8.6 nmol (range 9.0-29.0)
2010 - 13.4 nmol (range 9.0-29.0)
Each time I have been told by my doctors that my testosterone is fine and none of my problems relate to low testosterone, the latest blood test was taken since I started to work out with heavy weights while taking alot of supplements including: Whey Protein, Flaxseed Oil, Fish Oil, Tribulus Terrestris, Multi Vit , Vitamin C + Zinc, it was also a morning blood test, so it should be at its highest range?
Im at a very fustrated point in time, my doctors are refusing to retest my testosterone level or infact do a total testosterone blood test, according to them there are no grounds for it...
They have said they would send me for a sperm test but thats just one of a whole list of possible symptoms, one that I think is directly related to low testosterone but according to them it has no bareing on sperm count...
I also understand a guy in his 20s can expect an average testosterone level or around 21.38 nmol or 617 ng/dl while my very highest is a very long way off that score.
any help would be much appreciated.
thanks
