    Most labs are measured in a range of normal. For testosterone levels in men, the range depends on your age. Your levels most likely fall in the normal range for your age group. In other words, the numbers are not out of the normal range to concern your physician. If you are concerned, contact your doctor's office and ask for the range of normal for your labs.

    Here is a Quest Diagnostics link regarding their ranges

    Those readings are high normal. You're doing great. Testosterone clinics are in the business of selling you services. Most doctors are satisfied if you are well below the levels you are at.
