No there is something wrong with your Testis or Pituitary in your brain to end

up this low. But I have seen it all if Stress is doing this your levels going

this low are rare. Here is a list form this link.

====================================================

According to the Great Smokies Diagnostic Lab, these are the causes of

hypogonadism:

chronic/systemic illness

surgery

chemotherapy

infections

premature aging

testicular trauma

stress

Kleinfelter's syndrome

autoimmune damage

tobacco and alcohol

sleep apnea

excessive heat

obesity

hypercortisolism

medications

hyperthyroidism

malnutrition

?Subtle clinical signs of hypogonadism may include slight gynecomastia

and soft small testes. However, researchers have noted that " the

findings of physical examination in men with adult-onset hypogonadism

are often normal.?

Secondary hypogonadism can develop as a result of hypothalamic or

pituitary disease, obesity, hypothyroidism or other causes. Some

conditions, such as hypercortisolemia, AIDS and severe systemic

illnesses, can trigger hypogonadism through a combination of both

primary and secondary mechanisms.?

I think that's too low for just stress alone.

Many of us here have multiple endocrine issues, so your low T may be the chicken

or the egg. Find a good doc.

Low t. Thanks for your help. He agreed to do much more extensive blood work that

he was originally going to do. While researching (albeit compulsively) about low

t I have read that stress can do it. Would it be dumb of me to think that stress

could lower my t to 161? again thanks for all your help.
