Low-Normal. : In and of themselves, they’re in a low-normal range and as such they’re technically normal. However, if you remain symptomatic it would be advisable to bring your levels up to the mid-range.

I'm 43 yo with low libido for a while. Blood work shows testosterone @ 314 ng/dl (range is 292-867). Doc says is normal. But, since lab range is for *huge* age range i don't get how 314 is ok for 43 yo?
