Brief Answer:
About low testosterone
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Normal testosterone levels for men are 270-1030 and as you may know after the thirties the level declines with 1%.
The level you reported may be considered at the lower limit for your age (as usually, we find it at 500-600) and if the other value you reported is bioavailable testosterone, it is considered low as usually, it is over 50.
So if you have symptoms of low testosterone, testosterone replacement therapy can be started.
You may discuss with your physician about the above-mentioned values.
Best wishes,
