What's the the 'real' normal range for Testosterone? The lab range says it's 240-830 ng/dl for total testosterone. Have all the ppl on this site that experience ED been tested for Testosterone? I had my levels checked after having issues for 3 months and came back with low readings (294ng/dl)...I'm a healthy active 29 yr old. Something ain't right. I'm going to see a urologist to see about TRT. I've had readings taken over the last 7 months and all of them were well under 500..and they were taken in the AM. I get erections but after a long time of stimulation..and morning erections are only half erect...if at all. Is TRT gonna help? I'm not on any meds (quit taking propecia after 9 years...cuz thought that was my testosterone issue..after 4 mos of quitting levels are still under 500). Also I work out daily..and have well built shoulders and arms..but have no chest muscle..but fat..and a gut for someone who is very toned everywhere else. What gives??? Any thoughts?

I was tested twice and both times in the high 500's. Both times taken in the AM. I have no other systems of testosterone def but seems strange that I can get a decent erection in the am but not the rest of the day. Normally dont wake uup hard until taking Cialis

how old are you? do u remember what your Free Testosterone measured? are you on any type of meds? physically in shape or overweight? sorry for so many questions. im just a bit worried after reading some of these posts that say everything checked normal except for testosterone levels were considered low...i was under the impression once the levels are back to normal these issues would clear up. i too get erections in the middle of the night only they are very weak...semi erect.

Sorry in advance for the long post... that's what i'm trying to find out. i saw a few posts that said libido was crazy once testosterone therapy started. i wish everyone on this site would explain what's causing their ED...but i guess everyone on here may not know their cause. i was under the impression the main cause is physiological or physchological. maybe that's not the case. also, it seems like many ppl on here use different types of meds...doesn't this cause libido/ED issues? all i know is im a healthy 29yo man that is in shape and has literally all of a sudden lost my sex drive. do i think about sex..yeah all the time because im so used to it...but my desire isn't there cuz if it was i'd be getting erections all the time (like i used to). after much fooling around w/my girl i get an erection..but not as hard as it used to be. same with porn...i could masturbate 5x a day..now it's like i can go 5 days w/out even getting a hard on. less than a year ago if i went 3 days w/out getting off my erections were fricken rock hard and my ejaculate came by the river in my sleep...now it barely flows out the side if i go 5 days without getting off. also my erections in the middle of night are very weak..i can almost bend them in half...and they come naturally cuz im not dreaming about sex or anything. anyway, all the readings i've done on this topic show that low testosterone levels definately create the erection issues and low sex drive. i'm seeing my urologist tomorrow who has told me by T levels were very low (saw him earlier who suggested to quit the propecia..i have and it's still low 4 mos later). i have an appt w/the endocronologist in jan (sucks to wait that long but whatever)..im hoping my uro can get me back to healthy levels of T (free and total are both low)
