This calculator is designed to help estimate testosterone levels or potential testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) dosage based on various personal factors. Please note that this tool is for informational purposes only and should not replace professional medical advice.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Age Selection:
- Locate the “What is your age?” section at the top of the calculator.
- Click on the age range that applies to you: 20-29, 30-34, 35-40, 40-44, 45-49, or 50+.
- Note: The calculator assumes that older individuals generally produce less testosterone.
- Body Fat Percentage:
- Find the “Body Fat” section.
- Select your estimated body fat percentage range: <10%, 10-15%, 15-20%, or 20%+.
- This factor is important as more body fat can lead to increased aromatization, potentially affecting dosage.
- Activity Level:
- In the “Activity level” section, indicate how often you engage in cardiovascular or resistance training exercise per week.
- Choose from: 0-1 times/week, 1-2 times/week, 3-4 times/week, 4-6 times/week, or 7+ times/week.
- More active individuals may require more testosterone.
- Test Report:
- Under “Test Report,” indicate whether you know your current testosterone level.
- Click “Yes” if you have recent test results, or “No” if you don’t.
- Testosterone Level (if applicable):
- If you selected “Yes” in step 4, choose the range that matches your test results: β’ <300 β’ 300-650 β’ 650+
- If you selected “No,” skip this step.
- Calculate:
- After entering all the required information, click the blue “CALCULATE” button at the bottom of the form.
- Review Results:
- The calculator should provide you with an estimate or recommendation based on your inputs.
- Read the results carefully and consider discussing them with a healthcare professional.
Important Notes:
- This calculator is a general tool and does not account for all individual factors that can affect testosterone levels or TRT needs.
- The results are estimates and should not be used as a definitive guide for treatment.
- Always consult with a qualified healthcare provider before making any decisions about hormone therapy or treatment.
- Regular monitoring and adjustments are typically necessary when undergoing TRT.
Troubleshooting:
- If the calculator doesn’t respond after clicking “CALCULATE,” ensure all required fields are filled.
- If you encounter any errors or unexpected results, try refreshing the page and re-entering your information.
Remember: Testosterone levels and TRT are complex medical topics. This calculator is a starting point for discussion with your doctor, not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
