Hypogonadism: Low testosterone is an unexpected finding in teens ; young adults. 1st, get test repeated, preferably in early morning rather than late afternoon. Also make sure you're not taking any otc dietary supplements which may be contaminated w/steroids etc. If repeat result is still low, then your doc needs to look for hemochromatosis, mumps orchitis, testicular trauma, pituitary adenoma, opioid use etc.
