Hi Jimbo,
I would definitely consult with a Urologist or Endocrinologist and speak to them about “TRT!”
If your Total Testosterone is at 162 you are below the minimum range of normal. Even at that, men who are at the level of 200 -250 doesn’t mean they have sufficient levels of “T” in their body. “T” directly affects bone strength, your muscles, Libido, overall mood and psychological well-being.
The intended goal is to find and get to the levels of “T” that cause you to feel your best.
For instance, you may need to be at the levels of 450-500 to feel your best.
The only way to know this is to start “TRT” while being followed and monitored with quarterly blood tests with your Urologist or Endocrinologist as they need to look at other blood markets which can change while doing “TRT!”
The bottom line: Your body and psychological well being will tell you how much better you’re feeling while on “TRT!”
It’s not the Fountain of Youth nor is it intended to be.
Its most basic function is to replace the “T” you’ve lost through the aging process and bring you back up into the normal ranges.
It has nothing to do with taking more “T” than necessary to accomplish the above. “the same “T” levels for men at the same age still affect each man differently.
One needs to try different levels of “T” to see where he feels the best. There are also several or more delivery options for “TRT!
I suggest you do some personal research on the subject to educate yourself and then proceed from there.
You’ve got nothing to lose except the experience of “feeling better!”
Best wishes and good luck,
Phil
