hey guys, i didn't know where to post this so i just post it here..i'd really appreciate your help..i'm concerned... i know i'm only 20 and my test should be through the roof, but could i get some people's 2 cents on this?
symptoms of low test...i put yes in () if i have these symptoms...
A lack of energy; (yes)
Low libido (sex drive); (yes)
Depression;
Irritability; (i'm moody at times, like from 1 end to the other, depends on the day..varies)
Fatigue;(yes)
Postural problems;
Increased blood pressure; (yes)
Loss of muscle;
You exercise consistently but can't add any lean muscle;
Loss of muscular strength;
Loss of muscular endurance;
Physical height reduction;
Your erections are not "rock hard"; (yes)
Sleep disorders. (yes..but i'm in college so my sleep cycle isn't exactly ordinary as it is, however i try to get a solid 8 hours majority of week)
i'm coming off shoulder surgery, so i lost some muscle, strength, and endurance as it is...so i didn't say yes for those. however..low sex drive? weak erections? i'm 20 i should be able to get hard as rock, right?
what do you think? should i ask my dr for a blood test?

The optimal way to determine whether or not you have low test is to get bloodwork done at the doctor's office. So if you really think this is the case, then just go pay a visit. The people on these forums are not physicians. Good luck bro.

other than your body simply producing less testosterone, there are some causes that can be controlled by you. Are you by any chance cutting? low calorie diets decrease test production, i noticed all those symptoms when i was losing weight. also a low-fat diet will have the same effects.

Those questions are too generic. There could be 500 other root causes than low test.

First of all let me say that those are some pretty generic symptoms.
Secondly, I do not believe that even if you tested your T levels and they where low, you would have gotten to the root cause.
Finally, it is far more likely that stress or a nutritional issue is causing you to have all of those symptoms.
--------------------
It seems pretty common around here that people show up with "ED" when they have any type of eating disorder or they obsess over eating low-fat diets. Too little fat, cholesterol, will drop your T. Too little calories (if you are trying to loose weight) and high exercise, and your energy levels will crash.
I do not really understand it myself, but this is something I have observed here. I have never had a problem with such issues, and my guess is that you have to eat pretty much a super restrictive fat and calorie diet and overtrain like hell to get to that point.
My personal experience also tells me that sometimes Erect. Dysf. are a matter of a self fulfilling prophecy. Once you think you got'em, you find it hard to keep it hard, and you get very self-conscious about it. Your partner's patience is important, as well as your faith in yourself and in "the man"
In sex, once you are self-conscious about being "there" or being "observed", you can loose touch with your body and it just won't work. For it to work, you have to "loosen" yourself in it and the other person.

Those symptoms could be indicative of multiple conditions (depression being very high up on the list). Testosterone levels may be easily measured in a blood test performed by your general practitioner.
It's not just diet. It's not just exercise. It's diet AND exercise.
