Asc, I'm here again.
Some time ago, I posted that I couldn't build muscle, and a kind brother pointed me to the topic testosterone.
I checked my levels and they are actually very low, almost at the minimum.
That explains a lot. It's alarming to me that it's decreasing more and more, and I did some google research and it seems that testosterone levels among young men are statistically decreasing.
Here's the source: https://www.urologytimes.com/view/testosterone-levels-show-steady-decrease-among-young-us-men
I checked more blood levels after that and they were all fine except for my LH value.
My doctor is against TRT, and so am I.
His word carries weight and I trust him for now, although I'm not a fan of doctors' advice.
I already supplement: Zinc, Magnesium, Vitamin D3 and more to increase my levels naturally. Seems like its not working out. Ouch.
I went to my family doctor afterwards, and he said that if I'm not feeling mentally well, I should consider it. My mental state is pretty bad, to be honest lol.
I made another research and found out, that low testosterone is really effecting the mental state and articles suggested that TRT might fix your mental health problems
What is TRT? TRT is testosterone replacement therapy which can (must not) fix your low testosterone and the symptoms.
It has his disadvantages such as, no sperm production. No own testosterone production. Which is probably the most important for young Somali males to stay fertile.
HCG (Human chorionic gonadotropin) would fix it and make your testicles work.
Anyways, I am not a doc. I have very little knowledge from a YouTuber called moreplatesmoredates.
What I recommend is to get a blood test and monitor it every year. I am still shocked.
