What is the difference in T levels?

[Eunuchus (imported)]

My latest blood work has two different testosterone test with three different numbers.

Plasma testosterone 75 Low Expected level 168 - 746 ng/dl

Serum Fraction Testosterone, unbound 3.5 Low Expected level 9.0 - 30.0 ng/dl

Testosterone 116 Expected level 240 - 950 ng/dl

I found my answer. The Serum Fraction is the number that means the most. My current level is 116 ng/dl

What number is castrate levels?

Three months after I was castrated my level was 20, so 116 seems a bit high for castrate levels.

I never really understand it all because people have high and low numbers I know when I have my bloods done I run around 9 and was told that a woman has around 4 to 6? they keep telling me it needs to be around 14 but I have to say 9 is ok but I liked it a lot more when it went down to 4.3 and would like it down there again but my specialist moans at me and keeps telling me its bad for me? The thing is if it is bad for my bones and other things then why cant they just give meds to sort out the other problems apart from T?

Thanks

Sounds like they're going by a different unit of measurement, nmol/L. To convert nmol/L to ng/dl, divide by 0.0347. So a level of 9 nmol/L would be 259 ng/dl. However, if this is the case, it would seem a woman's level would be too high???

Mine cant be that high my libido is low, I get a morning rising about once a week and if I want an erection it takes time, but after saying that I am still thinking of reducing mine down from 20mg of Testim gel as i think I still want a little more calm.

Thanks
