Brief Answer:
serum testosterone is low

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

Thanks for follow up and report. Your testosterone level is lower than the normal. It is only total testosterone report. Free testosterone level is not done.

From this report it is likely that you need supplement of testosterone. It is a prescription supplement and you need to consult doctor for the same.

There may be need of other reports like Serum estrogen, progesterone, Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG)are required. The best thing is to consult endocrinologist for check up and treatment.

Feel free to discuss further.
