What is the ideal testosterone level in men?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 30 year old male. My height is 5'7" and weight is 79 kg. I recently did some tests and the findings are as follows.

Testosterone 239 ng/dL, HDL 24 mg/dL, VLDL 60 mg/dL, triglycerides 302 mg/dL, Vitamin D 29 ng/dL, Vitamin B12 164 pg/mL and HbA1c 5.2%.

My BP is under control. I also have lower back pain due to loss of lordosis. I am now taking medicines for cholesterol and calcium. I have been masturbating quite frequently since age 16.

I recently had sex for the first time and I ejaculated quite fast. My erection does not last long. I visited a local doctor and he observed my penis with a device and said my penis muscles are weak.

What should be the ideal testosterone of a male my age?

I intend to marry next year. Am I fertile? Are my sperms strong? Can I have a normal sex life? How to rectify the problem of weak penis muscle?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Considering your age, the Normal Testosterone Levels should be around 270-1000 ng/dL. The report of yours shows lower levels.

Obesity or overweight is one of the important reasons for low laboratory levels of testosterone.

Semen analysis can tell if you can have a child or not. If your sperm count, morphology and anatomy are normal, then there would be no issue in having children.

Ejaculation in a minute is considered as normal. No need to worry. With practice your time will increase.

If you are getting good erections, then there would be no issue of muscles. If your erection is good, then no need to worry.

For further doubts consult a sexologist.
