Low Libido - Bloodwork Results - Men's Health Information, Including Fitness, Nutrition, Weight Loss, Working Out & Sex

Hey Guys,

I'm 28 years old and I've been experiencing low libido and trouble staying hard. Sex doesn't feel as good either and I don't really want to have sex that much anymore which is tough for relationships. I also have brain fog, low energy, and a sort of lifeless feeling…

I've seen many doctors, but haven't found one who understand hormones that's why I'm posting here bc I know you guys get it..... I'm currently not on any medication, but I took Propecia for about 7 years, but I've been off it for two years, but my libido and energy level have not returned. Are these levels normal for a 28 year old male in good shape because I have no libido and I used to be extremely horny:

Total Testosterone - 531 ng/DL (reference range 250 -1100)

Free Testosterone - 60.8 pg/mL (reference range 35 -155)

% Free Testosterone - 1.14 L (reference range 1.5 - 2.2)

DHT - 42 ng/dL (reference range 25 -75)

DHEA SULFATE - 273 (reference range 110 -510 mcg/dL)
LH - 5.0 (reference range 1.5 - 9.3 mIU/mL)
PROLACTIN - 4.6 (reference range 2 - 18 ng/mL)
ESTRADIOL - 30 (reference range 13 - 54 pg/mL)
SHBG - 32 (reference range 7 - 49 nmol/L)

I was thinking I need to lower my SHBG and ESTRADIOL levels since my % Free Testosterone is off the charts low. Maybe I need more free testosterone. I really don't know much about this - if anyone experienced can check this out and make recommendations that would be amazing because doctors just don't know about hormones. If anyone knows of a good hormone/endocrinologist doctor in Los Angeles that would be great too.

Thanks !

Was your sex drive high while on Propecia? I'm looking for a good cure to boost my libido. It sure sucks to not have one. I've been trying to look for good information on male enhancements or something natural that could boost my libido. Not testosterone shots or any pills like that.

If your still around. What worked for you?
