Question 3

I'm a 28-year-old male and I've been masturbating since I was 15. Now, I'm worried because my gonads and penis seem small and my testosterone levels are at 450 ngdL. From what I've found online, this seems low and might be due to hypogonadism. I'm experiencing some signs of low testosteronelike premature ejaculation, less muscle mass, mood swings, low self-confidence, and hair thinning. I recently saw a doctor about my hair loss, and she gave me DUTASTERIDE, but I'm unsure if I should take it since I think my testosterone might be low. Is 450 ngdL considered low? If it is low, what's the best treatment? Should I consider testosterone replacement therapy or something else? What can I do to overcome these issues?

I'm thinking about taking menabol tablets to help with my weight because my trainer suggested it at the gym. I've always been on the leaner side, and I'm curious if it's safe for me to use. Could you also let me know how many tablets I should take each day and the best times to take them?

Better follow regular diet habits than taking the pills to gain weight
