21 with low testosterone? is this possible?

I am a young male aged 21. I don't know if I should be concerned about this but I believe I have low testosterone. I hardly ever have to shave because my facial hair doesn't grow in as fast as others, im depressed most of the time and no matter how much I exercise, eat right, etc., I can't gain muscle and I haven't gotten out of the range of being around 150 pounds. what do I do?

Hi,
   If it is yes,yes and yes, you should be Ok with T levels. You have still time to develop thicker facial hairs. Also, it is generally considered a family trait, you may check on that point. For growing muscles, you may consider taking protein rich food along with moderate exercise.
On the whole it appears, you need not have to worry.

Hi A, Then I reckon you have low T, and yes its possable at 21 to get low T, I got low T at 63, so you may well, but it took 3 weeks of very bad night sweats to get it hero to zero, sex life gone, you may think so what, from 3/4 times a week to nothing, so yes it can happen at 21  just the same as me.
So go get Tested, and just see how it comes out.
Good Luck

Hi A, the one thing you left out was erections, things like nocternal erections and morning woods, and how hard do you find it to get erection, if its no, no, and no, then yes you probably have low testostrone, best thing would be to get to your doctor and get tested, and see how that comes out.
Good Luck
