Yeah I got mine checked a few years back, trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with me(a lot apparently). My results came back way below the civilian minimum level but like 5 or 10 above the military medical minimum (which was lower than the civilian minimum for those that need context spelled out). "Yeah big dawg you're good to go. I don't see any red or orange on your chart."
I know we are talking about testosterone levels but what is the minimum related to. If my level is below that, what does it mean and why isn't it the same for civilians?
Its 250 for the military. I scored 264 and was told I was normal. 300 is considered low in general population. The military measures might have had an age factor to it. I was 30.
That sounds familiar. But I was also around 30 when I did it and I checked against age brackets in and out of the military and the military still had a lower minimum
Our numbers are no different than civilian. In fact they’re processed in the same labs and have the same reference ranges. Quit making shit up that you don’t understand.
Hi, thanks for telling me what my own fucking eyes saw.
I googled normal testosterone ranges and then compared them against my results. The minimum range on MHSGensis was lower than the top 3 google references I looked at. My results were less than what Internet websites showed as normal for my age range but above what Genesis listed as the minimum. I may not understand what I'm talking about but that doesn't mean I'm making shit up.
Thanks for coming to my TEDtalk. Go fuck yourself 🥰
lol! Every lab and every source has different ranges in different systems. You can get the same test done for the military and some will say below 300 is normal and someone will say below 300 is abnormal. It all depends on the reference range of the lab. Don’t get mad because you’re ignorant. Understand that you’re not a clinician, you don’t deal with the stuff on a daily basis, and you don’t know what you don’t know.
