Hi I recently got back from my endochronologist who I was speaking to about low testosterone. He concluded that I should merely lost some weight and that I didn't need replacement therapy.

Here are my numbers:

FSH 4.6 IU/L (1.5-9.7) normal
LH 4.7 IU/L (1.8-9.2)
Prolactin 356 mIU/L <500 normal
Testo 11.7 nmol/L (12.0-31.9) normal
FreeTesto 336.95 pmol/L (260-740 normal)

I have all of the symptoms of low testosterone, especially very low libido and erection problems. Extremely low energy and trouble recovering from sport. Would anybody with experience recommend a second opinion? Should I get more tests done? His advice will be put into letter form and sent to my GP who has no clue and will probably follow the advice.
