Low testosterone level?
I’m almost positive I have a lack of testosterone. I was born 2-3 weeks premature which I heard that people who were born premature commonly have a lack of testosterone. I hit puberty at around age 12 with all typical signs but then dropped off at around age 15. I’m 18 now, weigh about 150 and am around 5′ 11". Since I dropped off at 15 I’ve had the following problems:
No self confidence
Severe depression (anti-depressants haven’t helped)
Lack of sex drive
Almost no facial hair
Smaller than average testicles
Lack of motivation (probably as a result of depression but has resulted in me losing three jobs in the last two years)
Extreme fatigue
Avoid/afraid to have social contact
I have a round boyish face that people often tell me I look like I’m 14
I’ve been on a fairly decent diet and get average exercise. I’m going to get a blood test done as soon as I have the time and money to go to a doctor but I’m just wondering what everyone else here thinks.
A friend of mine recommended taking some illegal steroids to increase testosterone levels which I was going to do until I heard you can get similar treatments from a doctor.
I have severe acne and have been on prescription medications for a while with little effect. My doctor said I probably have higher than normal testosterone levels but I have never had any blood work done yet on this.

I would definitly go to the doctor -it could be any number of things, including low testosterone. Do not take testoerone that is someone elses or steriods or anything like that. You may also possibly have a thyroid issue, and the doctors will check that too when the check your testoserone. Try to save the money soon so you don’t have to guess what is wrong with you and you can have a real doctor tell you what is and/or is not wrong with you and they will be able to treat whatever it is properly.
I’m not sure what you should do. But I don’t necessarily think your problems are due to testosterone levels. I do think seeing a doctor is a good idea.
My main concern would be the lack of sex drive and depression, I think those go hand in hand and can lead to more serious problems. The lack of sex drive is probably not b/c of your testosterone but b/c of the anti-depressants, which almost always fuck with your sex drive.
And depression is serious, I think you should see someone if you’re not already, and talk out some issues which are probably nagging at the back of your mind, and preventing you from success (the low self-confidence).
love, and good luck
go to a doctor and get your levels tested and then get treatments for it, geeze why are people so silly, doctors are the answer, not us.
Ask your doctor to check your iron levels too. Too high or too low can descrease your sex drive and doctors don’t check guys often enough. Also do a google search for zinc and testosterone.
Never read such a sad story here.
You are way off balance.
Is it because of the acne you are afraid or avoid social contact.
At the chemist they sell over the counter FDA approved stuff that might help you.
You are dead tired because this is all too much for you to handle.
No sex drive.no social network,loosing jobs,depression.
Is there anything that you like?
Like movies,music,nature?
Anything to get your spirit a bit uplifted?
You are allowed to use the IM here if you want to talk.
You are really too isolated.
And if you can afford it again:I suggest to see a clinical psychologist.
I wish you a better future:Sky
