Open Question: 24 yr old male with testosterone lvl of 440, is that low? I also have multiple cardiac problems….?
1. Is that low for my age range? The doctor told me anything from 300-1200 is considered normal…..I tried looking through the internet and it seems like all the sites that were saying that yes that is indeed too low, were pushing to sell testosterone treatments. So i don’t know how solid their advice is.
2. The reason I got this test is I am experiencing increasing frequent ED problems. I am in right sided heart failure, I have pulmonary stenosis and a heart murmur. At the of 6 I had open heart surgery to correct VSD resulting in transposition of the great vessels….I am taking coreg(a beta blocker) and lisinopril daily…..so i assumed the of being able to perform in bed was a result of all of the above. When i confronted the doc with why my bedtime fun is going to the crapper he suggested the testosterone test, which leads me to my question because when i went to talk to him about the results he seemed very much in a hurry, told me i was within the norm range and i said what about my sexual problems, he replied with “well we will have to do another testosterone test in 3 months because one isn’t enough”
the ED is creating rifts between my partner and I and I do not want to wait 3 more months for an answere, suggestions?
…thank you, it feels good to vent
