A member asked:
I am experiencing low testosterone symptoms. lab work says that free testosterone is low, and sex hormone binding globulin is high. i think this might be due to having had hepatitis c. is it possible to experience hcv symptoms after it has cleared?

I do not think what your suspicion is correct. You should be evaluated by an endocrinologist for this condition which is somewhat uncommon at your age.

Depends on the severity of the HCV. I would suggest repeat the test in a few months.
