test levels

just recently had my testosterone levels measured and they are at 16.6 apparently this is in the normal range but im 18 and i thought they would be quite high. i been looking around the internet and it seems that i have the same levels as a 35 year old depressed man????

You have low testosterone than for your age.  Did you doc say this is a problem?  Is this something that he medically wants to address?

If not than I don't see a problem right now.....

An 18 year old should be between 800-900ng/dl. AACE guidelines in 2004 redefined hypogondism to be T levels lower than an AGE appropriate level.
