question from a user
I (49M) have ED and estradiol at 41 pg/mL. 450 total testosterone. 2.0 LH mlU/ml. Free test is 73 pg/mL. Low libido. Not on trt. Does this sound more like an estrogen problem if it’s related to hormones?
AlphaMD's Answer
It could be a bit of both because those are pretty middle of the road. Levels behave differently for each man & 41 for you may be too high or it may be just fine. It might be good to test DHT as well, but in a case like this trialing TRT may be the only way to see if it would help. If your levels were a little more extreme one way or another it would be easier to say.
