Default Re: Penile Atrophy, Zero Libido, Ejaculatory Anhedonia, Bloodtests Back

Thank you for the replies so far. This is definately going to require a good doctor, but looking at the results so far, what are the probable causes of the estradiol (ultrasensitive) being high, considering my bioavailable testosterone is pretty good. Is my free testosterone at 127.8 Does this sound like a possible testicle tumor (leydig) or adrenal tumor. Or does this seem more like thyroid condition with adrenal fatigue? I want to get to the bottom of the cause, and treat from there. I'm guessing im going to need to see an Endocrinologist to begin some treatment. Any recommendations for Florida/Georgia area? Also, my previous testesterone test done in June was

Free Testosterone 202.1 H 35.0-155.0 pg/mL
I was high at 202.1 H, and the range was 35.0 - 155.0 pg/mL

The new test shows
Testosterone Free 127.8 46.0 - 224.0 pg/mL.

Why is there such a different range, since both were done by Quest. The newer one includes bioavailable. Are they comparable, or did they use a more sensitive testing method this time around? If not, my testosterone free almost dropped in half within the last 2 months. Also, will the DHT and Estradiol Free levels, which should definately be in tomorrow, give any other insights into this condition? Thanks again.
phil-
I'll try to test for the CAH next time I get bloodwork, but I think the prolactinoma is ruled out with my prolactin levels, right? Thanks for the ideas.
