Low estrogen compared to testosterone. Could this explain my symptoms?
I have been dealing with low libido, lack of drive, flat mood, lack of emotional range, etc for a while and trying to find cause. All my labs are technically in the normal range, but some are on different extremes within the normal range, and I am wondering if this could be a lead.
Testosterone: 892 (high-normal)
Free testosterone: 16.4 (mid range)
Estrodiol: 21 (low normal)
SHBG: 52 (high normal)
The high shbg seems acceptable for the high T. It is eating up a lot of the T while still leaving me a normal amount of free T. The one thing that sticks out is that the estrogen is on the lower side compared to the testosterone. I am wondering if the higher shbg is esting up too much estrogen, leaving me with low free estrogen levels. Just a theory, but my symptoms seem to align with low estrogen symptoms. If anyone has any expertise on this, I'd love to hear another opinion.
