Question 3

can low testosterone level s be increased in young men of age around 20 or medicines are to be taken throughout life? will i be normal again ever?

Accepted Answer

Levels: It is important that testosterone levels be assessed on 2 separate occasions early in the morning.  Treatment will depend on those levels.  Testosterone replacement is not without its risks, with fertility being a serious concern in a young man.  A visit with a doctor familiar with trt and male fertility is recommended.

Question 4

how can enhance testosterone levels?

Accepted Answer

Wrong question: Rather than asking how to enhance testosterone levels, ask how to improve your health. Testosterone levels are only one facet of your health, and not necessarily indicative of good or bad, so ignore the hype &amp; commercials. Focus on healthy nutrition &amp; regular exercise. Shedding belly fat will reduce conversion of T into estrogen (female hormone). If all else fails, ask family doc to check level.

Question 5

how do i lower my testosterone levels?

Accepted Answer

Go see your doctor!: Before lowering your t level, tell you doc why you want it lower. S/he can offer you several different options although neither lower t directly. Instead, birth control pills raise sex hormone binding globulin which lowers free t while spironolactone acts as an anti-androgen. So rather than focus on lowering t, focus on desired outcome. Hope that makes sense.

Question 6

how to increase testosterone levels in men?

Accepted Answer

Get healthy: With diet, weight loss, exercise, avoiding opiates and anabolics. Check w/your doctor to find the cause it it does exist. Don't listen to friends, tv, radio or the internet scams. They don't work and just waste your money.

Question 7

how to naturally raise testosterone levels?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Excercise, weight loss and good nutrition are all great natural ways to boost t levels. High stress levels can also decrease t. So figure out how to reduce stress levels.

Question 8

what foods can increase testosterone levels?

Accepted Answer

Not many: Unless you are having a specific deficiency, the only thing you can do try to allow your body to make more testosterone is eat a balanced healthy diet. There is no food that will force the testicles to make testosterone. Zinc deficiency may cause low testosterone but it is rare.

Question 9

how to increase testosterone levels in my body?

Accepted Answer

Exercise &amp; nutrition: Strenuous exercise &amp; clean nutrition helps your body produce testosterone as well as shed fat which is where testosterone is converted into estrogen (female hormone). So do all that you know you should do to get healthy rather than focus on numbers. If you've tried your best &amp; your body isn't responding, then ask your doc for appropriate testing to see if you're low. But don't worry 'bout # now.

Question 10

what to think if i have a testosterone level of 6,4 nmol/l?

Accepted Answer

Very low: Hi. That's a very low testosterone. Did you go through a normal puberty then lose function, or did normal puberty never occur? Do you or did you take anabolic steroids? Many things are possible to explain this. You should see an endocrinologist for an evaluation. I believe your country is civilized and has nationalized healthcare, so it should be possible to get a top notch evaluation. Good luck!
