"Normal" Testosterone levels will vary from person to person. So actually there is no 'set' normal, such as you would find in a red or white blood count. My experience, as a 59 year old white male is as follows. My testosterone was what my doctor described as "normal" in the mid 400's range.

However, I was experiencing fatigue, low sex drive, extreme hot flashes, a sense of worthlessness as my wife put it "a grumpy OLD man", and gaining weight around the mid section. After explaining this to my doctor he agreed to try biweekly testosterone injections of 200 ml. This was a great help beginning the day after I would inject myself and last about 6 to 7 days there after. My injections are now weekly with 150ml. I now feel great beginning the day after the injection and generally lasting for about 6 days. By the time the 7th days rolls around I am more than ready for my weekly injection.

I feel that when I return to my doctor in November I am going to ask if weekly injections of 200ml would resolve the issue of ups and downs. By the way, I have lost 42 pounds, I am only the "grumpy old man" as my injection day nears and I feel more energized and hot flashes only around the 6th day after the injection. I can honestly say that I feel like I am 35 or 40 again. I was ready for the rocking chair and chasing kids off the lawn before I found the hormone replacement therapy

I am truly thankful for my VA Doctor Who had the knowledge to go outside the box and go with the testosterone injections even though I was well in the "normal" range. I would suggest to anyone that if you are experiencing these types of symptoms please urge your doctor to at least try testosterone. Realizing that it is not for everyone, however, there are many men and WOMEN that can take advantage of this type of treatment.

I forgot to add that my wife also receives a MINOR dose of testosterone and her results are amazing as well. However, be extremely careful. Too much testosterone in women can have disastrous effects, effects that may be permanent. Injections are NOT, repeat are NOT for women unless your doctor prescribes and then get a second opinion! My wife's levels were around 10 to 12 before the treatments now she is feeling great . I can't imagine life before this treatment nor how I would feel today without them.

Between 20-75 Depending on testing method, 13 to 54 pg/ml. A small amount of estradiol is produced by the male testes. Elevated levels in males can lead to gynocomastia. Increased estradiol levels in males may be caused by increased body fat, resulting in enhanced peripheral aromatization of androgens. Levels in men can also be increased by excessive use of marijuana, alcohol, or prescribed drugs, including phenothiazines and spironolactone. Estradiol levels can also be dramatically elevated in germ cell tumors and tumors of a number of glands in both men and women.

In males the testosterone levels vary widely. A person of the same age can have levels 10 times higher than another and both fall within the "normal" range. This seems absurd to me. As a male,56 years old, I finally persuaded my doctor to start me on testosterone replacement,after many years of low energy,low libido,just a very persistant lack of motivation. I now take a weekly self injection of testosterone cypionate. The injections are painless, much cheaper than the patches and gels, and have made a tremendous improvement in my life. I only wish I would have started about 10 years earlier.

What is the best place to detect vaginal estrogen level in vagina And which method is used to detect estron in vagina And what is the normal vaginal estrogen value should be?

To the best of my knowledge the level in your blood is the same as the level in your vagina. So a doctor who orders a blood test would be the person to give you the information you requested. You can see the sex hormone blood values at the link. Estrogen levels change, throughout your cycle and throughout your lifetime. Before, during and after ovulations the level fluctuates. A woman who is 35 should have a very different level than a woman who is 55, but they would both be normal.
