Had a hormones bloodtest done. would like help interpreting it please?

[neddy2016]

So i had 2 blood tests done recently. one for hormones and another for Autoimmune disorder. they both come back normal range. but since i now have these details and i paid alot of money to get them, i wouldn't mind if there was someone who could help me understand them. sadly there is nothing about DHT that i could see.

ALBUMIN - 47 g/L 34 - 50 R

SHBG - 43 nmol/L 16 - 55 R

FSH -1.7 IU/L 1.5 - 12.4 R

LH - 6.2 IU/L 1.7 - 8.6 R

OESTRADIOL - 116 pmol/L < 192

TESTOSTERONE - 20.5 nmol/L 7.6 - 31.4 R

FREE TESTOSTERONE - CALC. 0.361 nmol/L 0.2 - 0.62 R

FREE ANDROGEN INDEX - 47.7 24 - 104 R

PROLACTIN - 304 mIU/L 86 - 324 R

DHEA SULPHATE - 8.4 umol/L 0.44 - 13.4 R

I have used finasteride and dutasteride in the past and they gave me scalp inflammation and even faster hair loss. maybe these results can explain them? i dunno.

I'm no Doctor but some of those values seem interesting, especially SHBG, which seems rather high to me.

Do you drink at all?

Your testosterone is up there, not quite as high as mine but high nevertheless.

Your PRL is f*****g high though, do you masturbate a lot? You need to see a doctor about that probably. Prolactin will absolutely antagonize hair growth, so you need to have that sh*t looked at.

Your DHEA seems like it's at the middle of the range, which isn't too too bad, don't want it too low anyhow.

Hopefully this post will serve as a bump for others to look at and offer their opinions.

Is my PROLACTIN considered high? i actually don't masturbate all that much. once every other day sometimes. my sex drive is slightly reduced if anything then it used to be a few years ago.

I don't really know anything about PROLACTIN so i couldn't really say if i am doing something to increase it. i am hyperactive as a person, have ADHD and don't sleep very well. maybe i get too much sugar in my diet... i dunno.
