Testosterone/Estradiol levels.
by shnell, Sep 13, 2009 06:27AM
I'm 23 years old healthy male. My problems:
* Body fat generally accumulates on my stomach area and thighs and calves.
* Can't seem to gain lean muscle especially on my upper body. Im skinny 170 lbs (most of which is fat)
* I have soft, thick, a little flexible, oily skin.
* My upper body is skinnier than my lower body.
* Very weak back muscles, posture problems
* A little wide hips ( as wide as my chest)
* Heat intolerance. I sweat with a little stimuli. And I generally sweat a lot.
I had my hormonal tests done and the results are as following:
Total Testosterone — 23 nmol/L (R: 12 - 32) or 660 ng/dl (R: 342 - 900)
SHBG — 38 nmol/L (R: 12 - 57)
Free Testosterone — 470 pmol/L (R: 260 - 740)
Estradiol — 76 pmol/L (R: 50 - 220)
I also have normal thyroid hormone levels. I don't have clue what may be the cause of my problems.
What would be your recommendations/advices?
Thank you in advance.
