Raised testosterone levels

1 reply

I was prescribed testosterone earlier this year and at my 3 month check my levels were raised. I was taken off, my levels returned to normal and I tried again. I was tested again in August, my levels have increased again (5.1 nmol/L in the normal range 0.3 to 1.7). My test results are on my NHS app with a comment for my GP to look at the results and contact me. I've tried to contact them but they have said I can't make an appointment until she has looked at the results.

The thing is, I don't really understand what the risks are of raised testosterone. I want to stay on it. It honestly helps me feel regulated, I really noticed the difference when I came off it. Any advice anyone please?
