Re: 20 yr old with Hypogonadism?

[Guest guest]

I wish I had a file of Dumb Things Dr. tell men as to why they have low

testosterone. This one tops them all. Get a copy of your labs and post them

don't go on TRT until you figure out why your so low. If you do it will shut

down your Pituitary from sending the LH and FSH messages to your Testis and they

will stop making there own testosterone. This makes it dam hard to find out why

your low.

Here are some of the things that can cause this problem from this link.

http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=450553

Other things I have seen is poor diet trying to lose body fat for bodybuilding.

Eating or drinking a lot of SOY. Stress is a big one and High Iron levels.

What you can do is see if you can get your family Dr. to work with Dr. over

the phone to test and treat you he dose this and is one of the best Dr.'s for

this problem.

If you go there read TRT: A Recipe for Success in this are labs you needed and

why.

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

As you will see on the following site, as many as 50% of all men may

have low levers of testosterone.

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.?

Post your labs. Don't go on TRT unless you need it. I'm 26 and went on TRT and

I didn't need it.

Don't go on it unless you really have to.

Hi all,

I was recently diagnosed with low testosterone after suffering from fatigue,

depression, and low libido for some time. The thing is, I'm only 20 years old.

The doctor said it was analogous to menopause in women, to which I responded I'd

never heard of a 20 year old woman with menopausal symptoms. He said it's

possible. Is it?

I'm worried there's in fact something wrong with my pituitary gland or I have

cancer-- that this is a secondary symptom of something else given my age.

Has anyone here been diagnosed at such a young age, or found out that their low

testosterone was symptomatic of something else?

Also, will I be permanently unable to conceive with replacement therapy?

I know these are questions I should ask my doctor (I did), but despite being at

a top ten teaching hospital he seems pretty naive. Perhaps a second opinion is

in line.

Tim we have a few men here on his name is Phil and he has this problem. He went

to see Dr. O and Hardasnails they figured this out for him after all the Dr.'s

he seen missed this. I pray you get better and better and that maybe you can

come of TRT and not need it. But to do this you need a dam good Dr. to get you

started again.

Have you had any head trauma that you can remember? I was 25 when I began

having symptoms of andropause (hypogonadism). Mine resulted from 6

concussions I got while playing rugby in college.
