Understanding Your Testosterone Test Results: What the Numbers Mean

You’ve had a testosterone screening, and now find yourself staring at numbers on a report and wondering what they mean. Is 300 ng/dL normal? What if you’re just barely inside the “reference range”?

Testosterone results can feel abstract, especially when you’re dealing with issues like fatigue, low libido, or brain fog that don’t seem to match the lab values.

At Oregon Man Clinics, we make interpreting your testosterone results straightforward. Our board-certified medical team specializes in men’s health and will work with you to create a plan that aligns with your body and lifestyle.

What Is a Normal Testosterone Level?

Testosterone is measured in nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL) and picograms per milliliter (pg/mL). According to most labs, the typical testosterone ranges for adult men are:

• 300 to 1,000 ng/dL for total testosterone.
• 50 to 250 pg/mL for free testosterone (the portion available to your body).

Keep in mind:

• “Normal” doesn’t always mean optimal for you.
• Symptoms matter as much as – if not more than – the lab range.

Why Your Symptoms Matter More Than Just Numbers

One man with a level of 350 ng/dL might feel fine. Another might feel completely off. That’s because:

• Age, stress, diet, and sleep can affect hormone levels.
• Free testosterone is more important than total testosterone in many cases.
• Sensitivity to testosterone varies from person to person.

Next Steps: Should You Take Action?

If your levels fall on the low end and you’re noticing symptoms, it may be time to explore treatment options. You might benefit from:

• Lifestyle adjustments (changes to nutrition, fitness, sleep).
• Hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
• Supplements and medical support tailored to your unique physiology.
