what should the T numbers be? I'm going for bloodwork soon but have never paid attention to anything beyond my lipid panel before.

at 39, he should be at a minimum of 400 on average. the mean for his age group in the middle tier is 350-475 and 600-750 would be more optimal.

an age adjusted cutoff of 350ish would be what should be used to consider one "low testosterone" or not.


even not using the age adjustment the American urology association (AUA) would consider him to have low test as they use 300ng/dl as the cut off.


here it eh paper that was published in the journal of urology on this(its a great read btw). OP should ask to be referred to a urologist that specializes in male hormone treatment and use LOW t clinic as last resort imo.

90th percentile(optimal) is around 700

90th for free test would be in the 27.5 range
