Is Testosterone Level At 50 A Cause For Concern?
Question: Hi I just received my blood test results and it looks like my testosterone levels are at 50. I would like to have children in the near future. What can I do to increase my levels so that I am fertile?
Brief Answer:
Suggested tests.
Detailed Answer:
Good day.
noted your concern. There is much more beyond testosterone when fertility is desired. It's important to look at your physical features, testes volume. Besides, we need a fasting blood sample of LH, FSH, Testosterone, Prolactin, SHBG, Thyroid blood profile, fasting sugars, Lipid profile etc. All should be taken as fasting sample between 7 to 9 am. In addition, a semen analysis also is required.Do not meet a urologist . Best is to meet an endocrinologist
