Low DHT
Hi guys!
I am a 23 yr old male suffering from several symptoms of low testosterone, these symptoms include:
1). Difficulty maintaining hard erections.
2). Premature Ejaculation
3). Depression
4). Cold hands and feet
5). Fatigue
6). Hard time falling asleep
7). Hard time waking up in the mornings
8). Distribution of fat around my buttocks and lower back instead of my stomach
9). Low sex drive
10). patchy and sparse facial hair
11) very little body hair
There are more symptoms but these are the main ones. I have had tests performed to determine what is wrong with me. My free testosterone level was 12 (range is 9-26), my total testosterone is 400 (range is 300-1200), and my DHT was flagged as low (6), where the range is from 12-30. Could this low DHT be a sign that my testosterone is low, despite the fact that it is low normal when tested? I am thinking that my issue is related to my pituitary gland somehow, but I was just curious about the negatives or positives of low DHT and what this can mean as far as my health is concerned. I had a full male hormone panel performed with SHBG, estradiol, and other hormones but they all appeared normal.
