Is testosterone of 338 ng/dl as a 24 year old male bad?

Sources:

A testosterone level of 338 ng/dL is near the lower end of the broad reference range discussed (about 300–1,200 ng/dL), but the number alone doesn’t establish that it is a problem or that you need treatment. Symptoms and clinical assessment matter, and testosterone varies between individuals.

  • Factors that can affect levels: Sleep, exercise and nutrition are relevant lifestyle considerations; genetics also contributes to individual variation.
  • Symptoms: Low energy and low libido can be associated with low testosterone, but they can also have other causes, so they don’t confirm low testosterone on their own.
  • Testosterone therapy and fertility: Exogenous testosterone can markedly reduce sperm production and fertility; therapy can also affect hormonal balance, so it warrants medical supervision and discussion of reproductive plans.
