Medical Forum / General / General / March 2007Average testosterone level
Hi guys ! I need your help. I'm 40 y.o. I've an erectile disfunction problem. It's not yet clear if this is due to a cronic prostitis or other problems, even after many exams. In any case I've just done blood examinations. The only strange thing is my testosterone level and my physician didn't know sufficiently about this issue imho. My testosterone lever is 3.00 ng/mL The normal range (I read beside the paper) is from 3.00 to 9.00. Id est I've the minimum. I've to repeat the examination in any case. My question is this: Ok, the normal range is between 3 to 9, bu what the AVERAGE level of men of my age ?? Searching in google I found out this article and from the chart you see almost at the bottom of the page it seems that the average value of 45 y.o men was MORE than 500 in the nineties (now it is diminished but in any case from that paper results I've the testosterone level of an octogenarian !!! (speaking of average). http://www.ourstolenfuture.org/newscience/reproduction/2006/2006-1210travisoneta l.html My physician didn't even know what the average levels are. Do you know other resources where I can find the average testosterone level ???? Thanks very much !! > Hi guys ! > [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > > Thanks very much !! If you check out the article at: http://archinte.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/abstract/166/15/1660 you will see that they define "normal" testosterone (T) levels for men over 40 as 452 ng/dL (4.52 ng/mL in the units used in your test). You might want to follow your T level in the future, since the main point of that article was that men over 40 years of age with T levels below 250 ng/dL (2.5 ng/mL) had an overall mortality rate over 1.7 times greater than those men with normal levels of T.

Thanks a lot Ed As you have remarked, ED has a wide etiology, and testosterone is just one of many. Too many people focus on this as a primary cause. You don't mention any PSA levels due to your chronic prostatitis, and ED is not normally associated with prostatitis. There are many herbal formulas to regulate T if that is what you are worried about. > Hi guys ! > [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > > Thanks very much !! > As you have remarked, ED has a wide etiology, and testosterone is > just one of many.

Penis echography normal (excepting the fact I didn't achieve erection even though the caverjet injection). Everything in blood's examinations normal. The only strange level is testosterone. In the range prescribed but different the the average one at my age. |
