low testosterone

[jjambow]

i have been feeling alot anxiety, depression for awhile, i thought it could be my thyroid, but yesterday got back blood work, boy was i suprised, my testosteron level was 1.6 on a scale of 2.5-8.0. i wasn't even on the scale. Now i'm nervous, wondering if there is something else causing this in me. i go to back to doc today, not sure what he is going to do, please pray that God leads this visit and shows me if i'm just getting old(44) or if there is an underlying cause. thanks joe

There are a number of possible causes of low testosterone. I would not feel too worried about it. The worse sounding cause is a benign pituitary gland tumour. Mine was diagnosed 15 years ago and I am still healthy. I take replacement testosterone and it definitely helps, though it took some time before I started to feel the benefit. I hope that your hormones are soon back to normal.

Your low testosterone levels might simply be due to not getting out into the summer sunshine often enough. Or taking a vitamin D3 supplement can help also. Recall this study on Dr. Cannell's sight about sunshine and testosterone connection.


Vitamin D Council > News Archive > 2010 > Vitamin D and male sex drive

Dr Cannell replies:
I know of no studies measuring male libido and vitamin D but Dr. Wehr and colleagues, at the Medical University of Graz in Austria, just published a surprising study1 showing that testosterone levels are directly associated with vitamin D levels (measured with the DiaSorin technique) and testosterone levels vary with the seasons, in concert with vitamin D levels. Furthermore, the men with very low testosterone levels had very low vitamin D levels. This study does not prove, like any association study, that vitamin D increases testosterone levels. It may be that sun exposure in the summer is responsible for both higher vitamin D levels and higher testosterone levels. By the way, the New York Daily News got it wrong, nothing in the Wehr study talks about vitamin D increasing male libido.

I personally take 6000ius of vitamin D3 a day to reach a testing result between 60 to 70ng/ml.
