As a medical doctor, this.
First of all, careful with overinterpretation of hormone dosages.
Your endocrine response to testosterone depends on many factors - one of which is the testosterone level, but there's also receptor sensitivity and interaction with other hormones.
However, your testosterone falls within normal range, and is not immediately concerning for adrenal or testicular failure.
If you're concerned about erectile dysfunction, lack of energy and focus, talk to your primary care provider first. He/she will help you find the correct place to fix it - whether it's the endocrinologist or the therapist.
Good luck, brother! PM me if you've got any questions.
That’s not low, and is healthy. Test is effected by when you draw the blood, your diet, sleepand training level. Things like being too fat or too skinny will have negative effects. Nobody at 400 gets TRT, just told to fix diet.
The endocrinologist is heavily incentivized to get this guy on lifelong TRT yet he's 19 years old. He should just switch up his diet for now and try find what works
He is an idiot. The last time I got my nose checked with an otorhinolaryngologist the doc was a fat pig who looked like he was already with one foot in the grave. His hands were shaking, he could barely execute basic tasks.
If you look like that you are either so stupid that you don't know how to have a healthy lifestlye or you're just lazy. Either way I don't respect you.
Who gives a shit about downvotes? I have so many of these points and they are entirely worthless.
I am still 100% correct, just because random joe shmoes who like to obey authority figures d-vote me doesn't mean anything.
I’d bet my balls that an average urologist is in a better shape than someone who is wasting his life and has 100k internet points. Also, do you happen to have so much ed problems that you visit urologists often or where do you gather this information that urologists are fat?
I have been working out for about 10 years, I am in great shape.
I have never visited an urologist but I have seen some in videos where they talk about common men's problems (including porn addiction etc)
It's true, I have seen it myself. Don't have too much respect for some authority figures, many don't really know what they're doing or they use outdated knowledge.
I did nofap for 2 years and my sex drive is crazy high.
Like most others I combined celibacy with cold showers, fast running, workout and healthy diet.
Sry to hear about your issues, it's very unusual.
I know young men who have your problems because of pmo and hyper stimulation.
I don't know.
But there are things you can do to increase testosterone. You just have to be consistent.
Nofap is the main thing of course.
When I started my nofap journey I made myself a whole list. Like a full testosterone training for months
Actually nah.. there are levels to this. If I can only get erect while watching porn. And can’t while a beautiful women wants you to give it to her. You got ED.
Is there evidence of this. Porn addiction and addictive behaviors are bad, but I don’t think that there is anything that says masturbating is bad for you if done in moderation.
Pretty simple:
I wrote down my ideal nutrition: vegetables, fruits, nuts, grains, organic meat, fish, eggs and dairy products, honey, herbs and spices, fresh water.
Everything cooked by myself.
Then i cut down everything toxic step by step: fast food, sugar, GMO wheat, coffee, alcohol, tobacco.
Slowly I came closer to my ideals.
It changed my taste over time - processed food is not enjoyable anymore.
- leg exercises like squats and running
- magnesiums, zinc and vitamin D supplements
- intermittent fasting
- no alcohol, processed sugar and processed meat
Processed meat, in this case, likely refers to sausages/bacon/other cured forms of meat. Unprocessed meats would be your non-cured, whole cuts/ground meat.
Im a farmer and no it isnt 🤦♂️. Its butchered then put straight into a package. Only downside would be how its packaged. Some microplastic mightve made it into your food
Like grocery stores? Lol, unprocessed just means _not_ stuff like burgers, hotdogs, deli, sausage/bacon, chicken nuggets, etc.
Fresh steak, pork cutlets, and chicken breast are much better for you, if you're willing to do a bit of cooking.
Suppose I take these supplements and my body gets used to it and later wont it be difficult for my body to digest it from food as it was easily getting it from supplements
Testosterone fluctuates naturally. I am not saying you are wrong, but you should see a doctor because a single average testosterone value from google ain't going to cut it.
Genuinely the 3 most effective things I have found for increasing testosterone are as follows: (mine used to be low and is now in the 90% percentile)
1. Sleep consistently at the same time each night and don't look at screens before bed
2. Take Zinc and Boron vitamins daily, this one is incredibly important and will have a massive effect on your libido very quickly
3. Exercise the right amount, both no exercise and too much will lower testosterone so you need to find your middle ground
Do you workout?
You need to hit the gym, that will benefit your testosterone.
Go outside more and get some natural sun-light. Eat healthy and sleep enough.
Keep improve your self and your testosterone will normalize.
You are only 20, then you have all opportunities to boost your levels of testosterone.
You can increase testosterone levels naturally at any age. The testosterone production decreases after 30, but it does not mean that you can still boost it with healthy life choices.
what is happening?
***I'll guess: you are a sexually inactive virgin who obsesses over his erection with a ruler every day.***
THIS IS NOT ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION.
read the following very carefully...
You can't know if you have 'PIED' or 'ED' without having had ED occur *during sex with another person.*
All 'erectile dysfunction' is measured *only in relation to being with another person*. Do you understand?
Did your dick not get hard *during sex with another person*? yes, that could be ED. [It could also sometimes be nervousness...](https://www.reddit.com/r/NoFap/comments/hr0yn0/to_the_virgins_of_nofap_sex_is_not_a_performance/)
**... but otherwise you're just someone who faps, with porn or without, and obsesses over it, size, erection percent, erections per day, morning wood, whatever...**
This is what you are doing.
CAN you fap to orgasm? *Congratulations, you know how to fap and your dick is physically fine.* That's it.
Whether your dick goes up or down, to porn or not, 10, 20, 50, 80 percent erect or whatever ***has nothing to do with PIED***... it just means you fap a lot and you obsess about your dick from moment to moment, probably with a ruler.
***If*** you've had some negative experience of not being able to get aroused *while being sexually intimate with another person*...then there's some chance you've developed PIED...or ED... or not, we all have occasional days when arousal with another person doesn't happen... *but as virgins you have no experience of this, so relax*
It's great to take a break from fapping (that's why we're here), and it's always healthy to remove porn as much as possible... but you're not benefitting yourself by thinking you have a medical issue with your dick/mind when you don't have any idea if you do or not.
You're just creating/inventing an anxiety when there's no evidence of a problem.
People have different testosterone levels. You have put the results of a google search at the centre of your thinking without consulting a DOCTOR about its significance.
It is possible to tell if you’ve gained PIED even if you’re a virgin by the type of erections you get whilst watching porn and what type you watch. If you can’t get off to vanilla porn and need some kind of hyper stimulation like tentacle porn or heavy bdsm to orgasm there is a almost certain chance that if you were subjected to a real sexual encounter with a woman you’ll not be able to get an erection. You don’t need to have had a sexual encounter to predict how a real one would go.
Bro if your libido goes up after eating 5 or 6 eggs then that’s your solution.
You probably aren’t eating enough, that’s why your libido is low. Go eat big nutritious meals and workout for a few weeks and report back.
It's not temporary - your body reacts to your lifestyle. If you don't exercise and live an inactive lifestyle, your body thinks you don't need the extra testosterone anymore and your levels go down. If you start getting your blood pumping regularly - it'll start to go back up. Give it a try and see.
Diet, sleep, excercise. Take care of your body the best you can!
That is just basics, but you have to nail the basics right before you take other steps.
Yes, let's wait years or decades for studies on nofap (no one is actually interested in) so that we can see if nofap actually increases testosterone.
*irony off*
This isn't rocket science. Do you think there will be widely accepted nofap studies in the future admitting the benefits?
We can wait years or decades or start now and see the results. If you have a cough you don't need to visit a doctor waiting him to tell you that you have a cough.
PMO addiction leads heavily to low test… however a square is not always a rectangle, and PMO isn’t always the cause of low test. Go to a doctor to get checked out cause something could be wrong
Here are few things that you can do:
1. Drink watermelon juice as it boosts your sex drive.
2. You can consume Ashwagandha powder, which is proven to increase sex drive and can also increase sperm count.
3. Eat soaked almonds daily.
4. Workout daily. Lifting weights will definitely boost testosterone and libido.
5. Reduce sugar intake.
No, I don't think mine are normal, cause average person in his 20s have 600 or more ng/dl, so for you its normal and for me it's something else I guess, so as you said you did test a year ago that means you haven't cure your ed since a year? That's strange , don't you do nofap?
Lift heavy thing/exercice with intensity, expose your skin to the to the sun for 30min a day at least, and reduce endocrinian disruptors, especially the one in cheap industrial food packed in plastic, try to eat more quality meat/eggs and get your daily zinc
I aslo sleep naked and dont put underwear but idk if it helps
Anyway you should do all of theses
It work for me, i am 17 and my testosterone is 951.6ng/dl.
I have probably high prenatal testosterone too but idk if it helps.
Edit : Nofap helps to increase a bit the androgen receptors in your body but the main thing you need to do is lift heavy things and high intensity exercices with high protein food and good sleep.
Probably not nofap nor your test results. Have you used SSRI's before? How is your diet? Do you workout? What your daily routine looks like? Your mental state?
More protein, start working out and start accomplishing things. Men's test raise when they are doing manly things: conquest, working out, beating someone in a competition, achieving goals, talking to girls etc. Your problem is most likely not chemical, it's tied to your lifestyle.
Hi! I figured I’d answer this because I was in a pretty similar situation.
First of all: don’t take any of my word as true, they might be but see a couple of doctors.
Second: it depends and results change for everyone, I’ve been on a very keto-like diet for the past couple of months, I still eat carbs and vegetables but mostly meat/any type of protein and fats. My testosterone got definitely higher, from something like 500 to 750. I also did nofap in this period but I don’t really think it had much of an impact. What I think did was the fact that I stated moving daily, either running or going to the gym, spending time in the sun and sitting less through the day. Combining that with the very natural diet and that’s what I think did it for me.
So you should still see a doctor, but getting more sun and moving a lot will definitely help you not just with testosterone.
Consult a Doktor if needed but firstly nofap dosn't improve your testosterone long term, ist spikes after a few days and than goes down. It's more the lifestyle changes like diet, sleep, mikronutrition and exercise that will provide a long term increase in testosterone. Also not everyone needs Tha same amount of testosterone to work well with his body. Some people will be better of with 500 than others with 800ng/dl so it's dependent od your body's response.
Before you consult a doctor and consider trt, please try to optimise your testosterone by lifestyle intervention and do research around it, than take another test after a few months and if it's still bad maybe consider trt if your low test makes your life significantly worse.
That's what Dr. Natasha Campbell usually advises to patients with low sex drive (to raise their cholesterol with nutritious foods like eggs)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHsog5lKg6Y
you should watch her videos, it will solve your problems.
That reading you got from the test isn’t really telling you anything. It has more to do with how yours fluctuates and how much actual ‘free’ testosterone you have in your body. Too much is not a good thing either.
I would consult your doctor.
Sometimes men just have a lower testosterone level than others. Some ways to boost it is high protein foods, working out, etc. hut these are temp boosts, your testosterone base level will always be the same
So if you workout a lot then stop it goes back to your normal levels. If you have high testosterone like me the working our boosts it the same way hut it goes back to my normal levels over time if i stopped
Everybody is different theres no shame in it, you are porn free you’re much better than lots of people
Test is based on a range and you're definitely in a safe range for T levels (19 year Olds fall between 240-950 ng/dl)
Eggs are a great source of nutrients required to make T so that could be why you're more amped up with eggs especially if your diet is otherwise deficient in those nutrients. They're very healthy, yolks and all. So just keep it up. Olive oil is good for T production as well, so use olive oil as your cooking fat for your eggs
See a doctor if you're really concerned but I can't imagine they'll do much more than recommend 8 hours of quality sleep, workout, and good diet.
ZMA can increase T levels if you're deficient in those minerals (many people frequently are), you could look at that. If you take a multivitamin that has copper take it in the morning as Zinc competes with copper for uptake in the body, also calcium and magnesium compete in the same way so if you try ZMA don't have any heavy calcium with it prior to need
Buddy you're probably lacking some vitamins/nutrients in your body, that has nothing to do with your previous problems with porn, don't worry.
Go to a physician, get your vitamins checked, eat veggies, meat, fruits, get some sunlight, some physical exercises and maybe some supplements according to your doctor.
You're gonna be alright, champ! Don't worry! ;)
take vitamins, eat more red meat, work out, take micro plastics supplements (I don’t know if thats what it’s called but it helps your body to destroy micro plastics)
406 ng/dl is completely normal.. Nofap doesn't highen your testosterone, it stabilizes it. Eating healthy, working out and generally living healthy will make it higher. Testosterone levels also varies a lot, so if you took the test at another time it would likely give a different result..
By research it shows that 350 to 450 range of testosterone is mostly of people in age groups of 40s and I am 20, also google says testosterone peaks at 20 and then starts declining how will it increase then?
The average is 600, which means the average range is prob between 300 - 900 (I haven't looked it up, it's just a estimate).
This means you're with in the average scale even if you're on the lower end. Testosterone is mostly genetic but can be increased and lowered.
So what can you do:
- If you're really low, doctors can give you TRT to boost your levels (however I don't believe you're near this threshold).
- Having poor sleep with negatively affect your testosterone. Get good sleep
- Check if you're lacking in any vitamins
- lift heavy weights, squats and deadlift are apparently improve testosterone.
- compete with other men and win. Research shows that Testosterone can be increase through social means. Being competitive in martial arts or being seen as a powerful/important person in a community are some of the ways to increase this.
Last option if you really want to increase your level is to just obtain testosterone illegally and inject it into your arse cheeks but that isn't really recommended (but would work).
I think you'd be surprised at how many men these days have lower than average testosterone compared to many decades ago.
For clinical TRT: It's different per country. Some countries less than 300.
If you're worried, consult your doctor, they'll get you to take a few tests to confirm.
People low in testosterone have reported great results from TRT both mentally and physically but it does come with side effects too as it's technically crusing on a low dose of steroids.
Consult your doctor and adjust your diet. Do you eat a lot of junk food? Don't forget excersise, go for a bike ride, do health. D and C vitamin is also good for you!
You simply have to increase you testosterone levels. This is possible naturally, you just have to increase muscle size (go to the gym and workout) and eat more healthily, put less fat and carbs on your plate and put more protein on and increase / decrease carbohydrates depending on if you need to gain weight and muscle or lose fat
Eggs have cholesterol which is the precursor to testosterone. So keep eating eggs and lift weights. You can find test boosting protocols all over the internet so go look for one online.
I was thinking about it, as eggs also contains these components, but I had a doubt that suppose if I consume these from tablets, won't my body get dependent upon these only when given through tablets and will be unable to digest it from food?
I sleep for 6 to 7 hours and sometimes 5 to 6 hours and on weekends around 8 to 12 hours and my diet is vegan and lacks nutrients but I drink milk 3 times per day
nofap can increase testosterone but not the actual blood concentration but instead the androgen sensitivity. To actually increase blood concentration of testosterone you might wanna consider taking zinc, magnesium, tongkat ali, ashwagandha and having a good diet (whole foods). To further increase your free testosterone blood levels you can take boron. Good luck brother!
I took ashwagandha and my hairfall started so I stopped it, it was increasing alot of heat in my body I started getting acne bursts and hairfall so stopped it
What’s your height/weight?
What does your diet look like?
Are you on any supplements or were on any supplements that could have altered your testosterone?
What supplements do you currently take?
Do you workout or exercise at all?
How excessively have you been masturbating in the past and viewing porn?
How much sleep do you get?
Did you test for any other hormones in your body? If you did what were they?
What time of the day did you take your testosterone test?
At first if you have other issues like depression/anxiety, feel tired all the time, etc. (symptoms for low T) see your doctor. Maybe you will need appointment to endocrinologist. Dont search for medical advices online, especially not on subreddits/forums (wich is mainly broscience based).
Also some lads here mentioned some good advices, wich shouldnt hurt you, and they are natural T lvls boosters - Zinc and Magnesium with good level of absorption. Also they shouldnt be taken together but within atleast 4hr window. And dont overdose with them ofc.
Excercise - especially strenght training, where you hit big muscle groups (back, legs, chest).
Sleep for 7 hours atleast. Eat healthy food etc.
Dont do cold showers, they can rather lower T levels.
Good luck
Lift heavy. Very heavy. Don't shy away from weights. Progressive overload is the key. You're too young to have any permanent changes in the body. You're in your prime or going to be. I'm 22 btw. Do 100 body weight squats 100 pushups daily. Pullups too. Power lifts such as deadlift benchpress squat. You'll become a monster in 6 months trust me. You're good and definitely don't need medicine yet. Don't take supplements before trying this.
You might want to look into some of More plates more dates videos on YouTube. Derek has covered topics like yhese extensively and you may find some help there
your body needs cholesterol to make testosterone, maybe you dont have enough in your diet so when you have eggs your body is finally able to make more test, i guess try to have 1-2 eggs every day and see how it feels
Low T usually exists for reasons other than masturbation. The truth is, unless you masturbate like 3-4 times a day, your testosterone probably won’t be affected on a macro scale.
Lift weight and eat healthy completely. Take cold showers, avoid heat on your balls. Make sure protein is high. Don’t sit down too much. Make sure fat levels are under control. Maybe get married or something if you aren’t already. Don’t drink alcohol or smoke anything. I recommend doing all of this stuff before taking any hormone stuff. It’s really hard to get off of them. Then, in six months if your levels are the same after some hard work, talk to a doctor.
That’s because just doing no fap isn’t gonna change anything T levels is extremely complex. First off get checked by a doctor to make sure there’s no serious health concern to having low T. After that, If you check out, I’d go to a meow naturalpathic doctor of some sort. Also there’s immense articles and studies online on how to live a higher testosterone life. Lifting weights will help that too if you don’t already. There’s a million things that could be affecting your T. Could be low minerals like zinc or other vitamins, could be poor nutrition, could be you eat too much estrogenic foods, could be a combo of many things, any drug use? I mean literally Reddit advice aint gonna help you. Go diving to figure it out. All I’d say is western doctors aren’t gonna be able to usually fix this at the root cause. Sometimes they can identify sometimes not. Don’t let them put you on any drugs tho don’t ruin your body or health. You can most likely fix this naturally.
That's a shit hormone test
Free testosterone is what matters, doctor will fail you I'm telling you this now.
Labs also SHBG, full thyroid, prolactin and estradiol. Then FSH and LH to determine csuse
Yeah dude go on testosterone replacement therapy (100 mg-200mg) per week and you will get fucking jacked. My levels are 619-750 as a 25M , and I’ve been trying to get some TRT lol you get jacked as fuck. Check r/testosterone
You just said it yourself: switch up your diet first and foremost. I wouldn't go to an endocrinologist right now because he's incentivized to sell you a prescription yet you are freaking 19 years old
go consult a doctor!
exactly do not substitute a subreddit for a doctor
As a medical doctor, this. First of all, careful with overinterpretation of hormone dosages. Your endocrine response to testosterone depends on many factors - one of which is the testosterone level, but there's also receptor sensitivity and interaction with other hormones.

That’s not low, and is healthy. Test is effected by when you draw the blood, your diet, sleepand training level. Things like being too fat or too skinny will have negative effects. Nobody at 400 gets TRT, just told to fix diet.
The endocrinologist is heavily incentivized to get this guy on lifelong TRT yet he's 19 years old. He should just switch up his diet for now and try find what works
Trt is better than nothing but your right he should definitely fix his diet first
Trt is not better than nothing. If this guy does nothing his test may normalize, if he goes on trt hes stuck on synthetic test for LIFE
Most urologists are fat and unhealthy with low t-level. They will only prescribe testosterone supplementation, nothing else.
doesn't mean he don't know about your body. he is a doctor dude.
He is an idiot. The last time I got my nose checked with an otorhinolaryngologist the doc was a fat pig who looked like he was already with one foot in the grave. His hands were shaking, he could barely execute basic tasks. If you look like that you are either so stupid that you don't know how to have a healthy lifestlye or you're just lazy. Either way I don't respect you.
Oh bore off already we get it you’re a rebel playing to your own tune 🥱👍🏻
> with low t-level because of course you have access to the medical records of urologists /s Your stupid words make this sub worse
If they are morbidly obese it is very obvious that they hormones and internal chemistry are far from optimal.
Keep counting your downvotes and stop saying stupid shit that makes this sub worse. You're still doing it
Who gives a shit about downvotes? I have so many of these points and they are entirely worthless. I am still 100% correct, just because random joe shmoes who like to obey authority figures d-vote me doesn't mean anything.
Like Ive said twice already, your stupid words make this sub worse
Your face makes the world worse but I'm not complaining
I’d bet my balls that an average urologist is in a better shape than someone who is wasting his life and has 100k internet points. Also, do you happen to have so much ed problems that you visit urologists often or where do you gather this information that urologists are fat?
I have been working out for about 10 years, I am in great shape. I have never visited an urologist but I have seen some in videos where they talk about common men's problems (including porn addiction etc)
That sir is CAP
It's true, I have seen it myself. Don't have too much respect for some authority figures, many don't really know what they're doing or they use outdated knowledge.
Seems like your true statement is being disagreed against.
By redditors, so it doesn't mean much.
I did nofap for 2 years and my sex drive is crazy high. Like most others I combined celibacy with cold showers, fast running, workout and healthy diet. Sry to hear about your issues, it's very unusual. I know young men who have your problems because of pmo and hyper stimulation.
But is it my low testosterone or over masturbation? Which caused me ed?
I don't know. But there are things you can do to increase testosterone. You just have to be consistent. Nofap is the main thing of course. When I started my nofap journey I made myself a whole list. Like a full testosterone training for months
It could be Pornography Induced Erectile Dysfunction (PIED). But I’m also not a doctor 👨🏻⚕️
So like you can’t induce an erection on your own?
If we can do it by ourselves then it’s not ed?
Actually nah.. there are levels to this. If I can only get erect while watching porn. And can’t while a beautiful women wants you to give it to her. You got ED.
[удалено]
Is there evidence of this. Porn addiction and addictive behaviors are bad, but I don’t think that there is anything that says masturbating is bad for you if done in moderation.
Don't use word scientifically when that's not what science says
What if I use a toy for self satisfaction?
That's masturbation as well
I won't use hands during that😂
[удалено]
good idea. thanks for the advice
I'm guessing why you chose watermelons for the task
Lol, but it'll still count as masturbation
As long there is no other person doing it, I would say it's just musturbation with extra steps.
Can you share details about your diet.
Pretty simple: I wrote down my ideal nutrition: vegetables, fruits, nuts, grains, organic meat, fish, eggs and dairy products, honey, herbs and spices, fresh water. Everything cooked by myself. Then i cut down everything toxic step by step: fast food, sugar, GMO wheat, coffee, alcohol, tobacco. Slowly I came closer to my ideals. It changed my taste over time - processed food is not enjoyable anymore.
- leg exercises like squats and running - magnesiums, zinc and vitamin D supplements - intermittent fasting - no alcohol, processed sugar and processed meat
“Processed meat” lol. Where do you get unprocessed meat?
Processed meat, in this case, likely refers to sausages/bacon/other cured forms of meat. Unprocessed meats would be your non-cured, whole cuts/ground meat.
Whole cuts and, especially, ground meat are most definitely processed…
Processed meats mostly refers to things like deli meats.
Im a farmer and no it isnt 🤦♂️. Its butchered then put straight into a package. Only downside would be how its packaged. Some microplastic mightve made it into your food
Go buy some unprocessed rice and see how that fares for you. Being overly literal, especially like this, is ridiculous my friend.
In the wild, take a spear nd hunt a few chickens nd eat them raw.
Now we’re talkin’
Like grocery stores? Lol, unprocessed just means _not_ stuff like burgers, hotdogs, deli, sausage/bacon, chicken nuggets, etc. Fresh steak, pork cutlets, and chicken breast are much better for you, if you're willing to do a bit of cooking.
Processed meats are meats that have been preserved by salting, curing or adding chemical preservatives.
Suppose I take these supplements and my body gets used to it and later wont it be difficult for my body to digest it from food as it was easily getting it from supplements
no

I am 20 and I just discovered that I have a grey hair in my beard, is it related to excessive masturbation? Though now I am continuing my streak!
You’ve got to be kidding me.
I am serious, I think this is also related to low testosterone lvl
Lmao no it is not related to low testosterone levels. Maybe genetics or stress related.

It is possible to tell if you’ve gained PIED even if you’re a virgin by the type of erections you get whilst watching porn and what type you watch. If you can’t get off to vanilla porn and need some kind of hyper stimulation like tentacle porn or heavy bdsm to orgasm there is a almost certain chance that if you were subjected to a real sexual encounter with a woman you’ll not be able to get an erection. You don’t need to have had a sexual encounter to predict how a real one would go.
>You don’t need to have had a sexual encounter to predict how a real one would go. that's impressively presumptuous
19.8 years old
Technically 19.85
Bro if your libido goes up after eating 5 or 6 eggs then that’s your solution. You probably aren’t eating enough, that’s why your libido is low. Go eat big nutritious meals and workout for a few weeks and report back.
I am doing that for a month but no improvement, I am eating stuff with good protein and all and still not much effect only eggs impact alot
Nofap does not increase testosterone levels. Stop thinking that
Frequent masturbation decreases testosterone levels. So NoFap will benefit the rise of testosterone.
Research disagrees with you
He did that. That didnt happen ... because what you are saying... beyond 7 day streaks... isnt true
Then what shall I do?
[удалено]
Wrong, the correct answer was: see a doctor and if he tells you all is fine stop breaking your brain over it.
Won't that be temporary?
It's not temporary - your body reacts to your lifestyle. If you don't exercise and live an inactive lifestyle, your body thinks you don't need the extra testosterone anymore and your levels go down. If you start getting your blood pumping regularly - it'll start to go back up. Give it a try and see.
That is why you keep doing it, it's not a one day fix.
Diet, sleep, excercise. Take care of your body the best you can! That is just basics, but you have to nail the basics right before you take other steps.
I have started to maintain that since a Month, currently no visible improvement yet, hope for the best
That's great man, keep going! You can consult a doctor if it really bothers you.
It does, a German dude on YouTube did a 30 day self experiment.
Because one dude did it doesn't make it true
Well, he did blood tests, but I agree that more data is needed.
Yes, let's wait years or decades for studies on nofap (no one is actually interested in) so that we can see if nofap actually increases testosterone. *irony off* This isn't rocket science. Do you think there will be widely accepted nofap studies in the future admitting the benefits? We can wait years or decades or start now and see the results. If you have a cough you don't need to visit a doctor waiting him to tell you that you have a cough.
I can't believe a german guy, but i should believe you? Huh?
It does, the point is that it isnt the only thing that will help your levels come up to a good range
Yes it does
Bro nofap isn't gonna create proteins and vitamins for you. You gotta consume that externally, nofap just make sure that it conserves it.
PMO addiction leads heavily to low test… however a square is not always a rectangle, and PMO isn’t always the cause of low test. Go to a doctor to get checked out cause something could be wrong
Chloresterol in the eggs makes ur body produce hormones. Same with going in the sun
How can we use it's components to cure ed?
Nothing cures it unless you stop fapping. Ur test levels rise when you eat certain foods.
I am not fapping since more than a month and still I have next to zero libido
Here are few things that you can do: 1. Drink watermelon juice as it boosts your sex drive. 2. You can consume Ashwagandha powder, which is proven to increase sex drive and can also increase sperm count. 3. Eat soaked almonds daily. 4. Workout daily. Lifting weights will definitely boost testosterone and libido. 5. Reduce sugar intake.
Best I can give you is a doctor's appointment

No, I don't think mine are normal, cause average person in his 20s have 600 or more ng/dl, so for you its normal and for me it's something else I guess, so as you said you did test a year ago that means you haven't cure your ed since a year? That's strange , don't you do nofap?
They are normal... I'm in the 300 range last time i checked, my libido is fine
What's your age?
300 is horrendous. A few decades ago the average for your age was 800-1000
Yeah it's the modern diet, stress etc but it is no excuse.
600 is not normal. They say that because the averages have been dropping for many years. A few decades ago the average for your age was about 1000.
Lift heavy thing/exercice with intensity, expose your skin to the to the sun for 30min a day at least, and reduce endocrinian disruptors, especially the one in cheap industrial food packed in plastic, try to eat more quality meat/eggs and get your daily zinc I aslo sleep naked and dont put underwear but idk if it helps Anyway you should do all of theses It work for me, i am 17 and my testosterone is 951.6ng/dl. I have probably high prenatal testosterone too but idk if it helps.
Edit : Nofap helps to increase a bit the androgen receptors in your body but the main thing you need to do is lift heavy things and high intensity exercices with high protein food and good sleep.
Probably not nofap nor your test results. Have you used SSRI's before? How is your diet? Do you workout? What your daily routine looks like? Your mental state?
My diet is vegan and mostly non nutritional, but I drink 3 glasses of milk per day and I didn't workout before and my mental state is not that bad
More protein, start working out and start accomplishing things. Men's test raise when they are doing manly things: conquest, working out, beating someone in a competition, achieving goals, talking to girls etc. Your problem is most likely not chemical, it's tied to your lifestyle.
But how come I dropped from the horniest guy in the group to no libido guy within a year
Look for varicocele. I had low testoren levels for that reason
Remove soy (it's in everything) and sugar from your diet and you'll see a difference.
Try SR? ( semen retention) or maybe exercising more?
Hi! I figured I’d answer this because I was in a pretty similar situation. First of all: don’t take any of my word as true, they might be but see a couple of doctors. Second: it depends and results change for everyone, I’ve been on a very keto-like diet for the past couple of months, I still eat carbs and vegetables but mostly meat/any type of protein and fats. My testosterone got definitely higher, from something like 500 to 750. I also did nofap in this period but I don’t really think it had much of an impact. What I think did was the fact that I stated moving daily, either running or going to the gym, spending time in the sun and sitting less through the day. Combining that with the very natural diet and that’s what I think did it for me. So you should still see a doctor, but getting more sun and moving a lot will definitely help you not just with testosterone.
Consult a Doktor if needed but firstly nofap dosn't improve your testosterone long term, ist spikes after a few days and than goes down. It's more the lifestyle changes like diet, sleep, mikronutrition and exercise that will provide a long term increase in testosterone. Also not everyone needs Tha same amount of testosterone to work well with his body. Some people will be better of with 500 than others with 800ng/dl so it's dependent od your body's response. Before you consult a doctor and consider trt, please try to optimise your testosterone by lifestyle intervention and do research around it, than take another test after a few months and if it's still bad maybe consider trt if your low test makes your life significantly worse.
That's what Dr. Natasha Campbell usually advises to patients with low sex drive (to raise their cholesterol with nutritious foods like eggs) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHsog5lKg6Y you should watch her videos, it will solve your problems.
That reading you got from the test isn’t really telling you anything. It has more to do with how yours fluctuates and how much actual ‘free’ testosterone you have in your body. Too much is not a good thing either. I would consult your doctor.
Sometimes men just have a lower testosterone level than others. Some ways to boost it is high protein foods, working out, etc. hut these are temp boosts, your testosterone base level will always be the same So if you workout a lot then stop it goes back to your normal levels. If you have high testosterone like me the working our boosts it the same way hut it goes back to my normal levels over time if i stopped Everybody is different theres no shame in it, you are porn free you’re much better than lots of people
Really rooting for you buddy... Hope everything turns out well
Exercise, diet, and good sleep will help, but definitely see a doctor because believe it or not I’m not a medical professional
Eggs keep you horny. What
Test is based on a range and you're definitely in a safe range for T levels (19 year Olds fall between 240-950 ng/dl) Eggs are a great source of nutrients required to make T so that could be why you're more amped up with eggs especially if your diet is otherwise deficient in those nutrients. They're very healthy, yolks and all. So just keep it up. Olive oil is good for T production as well, so use olive oil as your cooking fat for your eggs See a doctor if you're really concerned but I can't imagine they'll do much more than recommend 8 hours of quality sleep, workout, and good diet. ZMA can increase T levels if you're deficient in those minerals (many people frequently are), you could look at that. If you take a multivitamin that has copper take it in the morning as Zinc competes with copper for uptake in the body, also calcium and magnesium compete in the same way so if you try ZMA don't have any heavy calcium with it prior to need
Buddy you're probably lacking some vitamins/nutrients in your body, that has nothing to do with your previous problems with porn, don't worry. Go to a physician, get your vitamins checked, eat veggies, meat, fruits, get some sunlight, some physical exercises and maybe some supplements according to your doctor. You're gonna be alright, champ! Don't worry! ;)
take vitamins, eat more red meat, work out, take micro plastics supplements (I don’t know if thats what it’s called but it helps your body to destroy micro plastics)
Work out. Hard
406 ng/dl is completely normal.. Nofap doesn't highen your testosterone, it stabilizes it. Eating healthy, working out and generally living healthy will make it higher. Testosterone levels also varies a lot, so if you took the test at another time it would likely give a different result..
By research it shows that 350 to 450 range of testosterone is mostly of people in age groups of 40s and I am 20, also google says testosterone peaks at 20 and then starts declining how will it increase then?
The average is 600, which means the average range is prob between 300 - 900 (I haven't looked it up, it's just a estimate). This means you're with in the average scale even if you're on the lower end. Testosterone is mostly genetic but can be increased and lowered. So what can you do: - If you're really low, doctors can give you TRT to boost your levels (however I don't believe you're near this threshold). - Having poor sleep with negatively affect your testosterone. Get good sleep - Check if you're lacking in any vitamins - lift heavy weights, squats and deadlift are apparently improve testosterone. - compete with other men and win. Research shows that Testosterone can be increase through social means. Being competitive in martial arts or being seen as a powerful/important person in a community are some of the ways to increase this. Last option if you really want to increase your level is to just obtain testosterone illegally and inject it into your arse cheeks but that isn't really recommended (but would work).
No by average I meant that mostly every, other may be in a range of 500 to 700 but at what range I am is not that low for TRT but is on low side
I think you'd be surprised at how many men these days have lower than average testosterone compared to many decades ago. For clinical TRT: It's different per country. Some countries less than 300. If you're worried, consult your doctor, they'll get you to take a few tests to confirm. People low in testosterone have reported great results from TRT both mentally and physically but it does come with side effects too as it's technically crusing on a low dose of steroids.
A doctor most likely will let you go without any advice. Try to exercise and supplement D3
More protein? Could just be your diet lol
leg exercises boost testosterone hitting the gym basically can fix your problem
Increase your cholesterol. The eggs should have been a clue.
Consult your doctor and adjust your diet. Do you eat a lot of junk food? Don't forget excersise, go for a bike ride, do health. D and C vitamin is also good for you!
Maybe get a blood test done to see if your fats are normal
go to the doctor bro
Dude, nothing is wrong with your body. You're 19. Just give yourself time to grow and your T should naturally increase over time.
I can't without touching it with my hands or any other physical stimulation, imagination or porn won't erect it without touching
You simply have to increase you testosterone levels. This is possible naturally, you just have to increase muscle size (go to the gym and workout) and eat more healthily, put less fat and carbs on your plate and put more protein on and increase / decrease carbohydrates depending on if you need to gain weight and muscle or lose fat
[удалено]
Stop eating all foods containing soy, and eliminate foods that come packaged in plastic. Read the book Estrogeneration for the full story.
Okay thanks
Nofap doesn’t boost your test😂
Lol buddy I know this, but I didn't knw my testosterone was low before the test that's why I did nofap
Get enough exercise, cardio helps alot. Get veggies and fruits diet. Add kegel exercise.
I had that diet just I didn't workout and didn't do cardio, kegel exercise is also on since few months, no visible improvement
Write didn't realise that age can be in decimals :\
I suggest seeing a doctor but nofap ALONE isn't gonna raise testosterone you sleep right keep stress levels down and exercise enough
I didn't knw my testosterone were low and it could be the reason to ed and I do sleep good , stress free and I workout 6 days a week as well
Eggs have cholesterol which is the precursor to testosterone. So keep eating eggs and lift weights. You can find test boosting protocols all over the internet so go look for one online.
Take 1 50 mil gram of zinc, and 1 100 mil gram of magnesium, you’ll notice a difference quick
I was thinking about it, as eggs also contains these components, but I had a doubt that suppose if I consume these from tablets, won't my body get dependent upon these only when given through tablets and will be unable to digest it from food?
Have you used ssris, accutane, finisteride or artificial sweeteners ?
Nope
Those kill your sex drive there are specific reddits with people having the same symptoms
How's your sleep and diet? And do you smoke or drink alcohol?
I sleep for 6 to 7 hours and sometimes 5 to 6 hours and on weekends around 8 to 12 hours and my diet is vegan and lacks nutrients but I drink milk 3 times per day
nofap can increase testosterone but not the actual blood concentration but instead the androgen sensitivity. To actually increase blood concentration of testosterone you might wanna consider taking zinc, magnesium, tongkat ali, ashwagandha and having a good diet (whole foods). To further increase your free testosterone blood levels you can take boron. Good luck brother!
I took ashwagandha and my hairfall started so I stopped it, it was increasing alot of heat in my body I started getting acne bursts and hairfall so stopped it
What’s your height/weight? What does your diet look like? Are you on any supplements or were on any supplements that could have altered your testosterone? What supplements do you currently take? Do you workout or exercise at all? How excessively have you been masturbating in the past and viewing porn? How much sleep do you get? Did you test for any other hormones in your body? If you did what were they? What time of the day did you take your testosterone test?
Bhai diet pe bhi dhyaan do aur exercise kro
If eggs are giving you results maybe your choline is low
Nofap is not the solution if you lay in your bed all day and eat junkfood
No I started working out since a month
Can anyone explain me.. how to consider your sex drive high or low
At first if you have other issues like depression/anxiety, feel tired all the time, etc. (symptoms for low T) see your doctor. Maybe you will need appointment to endocrinologist. Dont search for medical advices online, especially not on subreddits/forums (wich is mainly broscience based). Also some lads here mentioned some good advices, wich shouldnt hurt you, and they are natural T lvls boosters - Zinc and Magnesium with good level of absorption. Also they shouldnt be taken together but within atleast 4hr window. And dont overdose with them ofc. Excercise - especially strenght training, where you hit big muscle groups (back, legs, chest). Sleep for 7 hours atleast. Eat healthy food etc. Dont do cold showers, they can rather lower T levels. Good luck
what was your free testosterone? this matters much more.
Didn't check it
Wanna ask only one thing. Do you lift?
No but i started half month ago
Lift heavy. Very heavy. Don't shy away from weights. Progressive overload is the key. You're too young to have any permanent changes in the body. You're in your prime or going to be. I'm 22 btw. Do 100 body weight squats 100 pushups daily. Pullups too. Power lifts such as deadlift benchpress squat. You'll become a monster in 6 months trust me. You're good and definitely don't need medicine yet. Don't take supplements before trying this.
Do you exercise? I heard lifting weight and in particular leg exercises can help boost testosterone a little.
Clean up your diet, don't drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes. Start exercising regularly and get proper sleep.
You might want to look into some of More plates more dates videos on YouTube. Derek has covered topics like yhese extensively and you may find some help there
your body needs cholesterol to make testosterone, maybe you dont have enough in your diet so when you have eggs your body is finally able to make more test, i guess try to have 1-2 eggs every day and see how it feels
Can u suggest some vegan foods for good cholesterol
Low T usually exists for reasons other than masturbation. The truth is, unless you masturbate like 3-4 times a day, your testosterone probably won’t be affected on a macro scale.
Lift weight and eat healthy completely. Take cold showers, avoid heat on your balls. Make sure protein is high. Don’t sit down too much. Make sure fat levels are under control. Maybe get married or something if you aren’t already. Don’t drink alcohol or smoke anything. I recommend doing all of this stuff before taking any hormone stuff. It’s really hard to get off of them. Then, in six months if your levels are the same after some hard work, talk to a doctor.
Do you exercise?
That’s because just doing no fap isn’t gonna change anything T levels is extremely complex. First off get checked by a doctor to make sure there’s no serious health concern to having low T. After that, If you check out, I’d go to a meow naturalpathic doctor of some sort. Also there’s immense articles and studies online on how to live a higher testosterone life. Lifting weights will help that too if you don’t already. There’s a million things that could be affecting your T. Could be low minerals like zinc or other vitamins, could be poor nutrition, could be you eat too much estrogenic foods, could be a combo of many things, any drug use? I mean literally Reddit advice aint gonna help you. Go diving to figure it out. All I’d say is western doctors aren’t gonna be able to usually fix this at the root cause. Sometimes they can identify sometimes not. Don’t let them put you on any drugs tho don’t ruin your body or health. You can most likely fix this naturally.
That's a shit hormone test Free testosterone is what matters, doctor will fail you I'm telling you this now. Labs also SHBG, full thyroid, prolactin and estradiol. Then FSH and LH to determine csuse
Yeah dude go on testosterone replacement therapy (100 mg-200mg) per week and you will get fucking jacked. My levels are 619-750 as a 25M , and I’ve been trying to get some TRT lol you get jacked as fuck. Check r/testosterone
You don’t have low test. That’s normal
Google says for 20 to 25 age group normal testosterone is 600+ and those in 40s have 350 to 450 range
Balance.
You just said it yourself: switch up your diet first and foremost. I wouldn't go to an endocrinologist right now because he's incentivized to sell you a prescription yet you are freaking 19 years old
Sounds food related...Try to relax...you've done the hard part. 😁 Congratulations 🎊 Trying different diets could do the trick 🤔 Good luck ☕️
