What Do The Following Test Results Suggest?

Hello. I ll be very gratefoul for your answer about my health problems. I would like an answer from endocrinologist. As a child I had a problem of undescesed right testicle and I had an operation very late, when I was seven years old. Now I am 23. That testicle has a different shape, and it s a lot smaller in size that the other one, a little bit atrophied. Now I think I have symptoms of low testosteron, fatigue, most of the time tired, lower libido, short erctions and don t have a lot muscules and my bones are cracking all the time (maybe problems with osheopenia??). I am not fat at all, look very skinny, but have fat at lower body, legs, but... Can t have muscles at all. My hormons results: TSH 4,15 0,465-4,68 mIU/L Progesteron 0,90 0,0-0,64 nmol/L Prolactin 218 73-407 mIU/L Testosteron 16,17 4,56-28,2 nmol/L (about 500 ng/L a ref od 300-1000 I think) FSH 3,29 0,9-12 mIU/mL LH 2,92 1,1-8,7 mIU/mL Estradiol 83 40-162 pmol/L Cortizol morning 455,4 101,2-535,7 nmol/L Cortisol during the day 276,1 79-477,8 nmol/L Which is in those ref values, but it s not ok with all those symptoms and problems with my testicle. What should I do? Next month have appointment with my endocrinologist. Should I have operation and remove the right testicle because of possible cancer, my urologist said nothing about that. I am from Bosnia and Herzegovina and really doubt about my medical care and quality here so need to hear another opinion. Sorry for my bad english. Best regards, Marin

Hello,

As per my clinical experience, the testicle sounds atrophied with the current symptoms and hormone profile. However, before deciding for the approach of surgical removal of testis, it is best recommended to go for Doppler ultrasound of the both testes as well as testicular biopsy of the concerned testis.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
