A member asked:

My son has symptoms of low testosterone and his blood level is 254. he is 17 yrs old. how low is this for a boy his age?

Dr. Stuart Flechner answered

Quite low: This level is quite low for a boy his age assuming the measurement is reported as ng/dl. It should be repeated with a free testosterone, lh, fsh, and prolactin. However, he should first see a urologist/infertility expert regarding a complete history, examination and lab testing.
