What do you mean small! Part II
Well, the results of my blood work are in, I was too lazy to find my old thread, but for those who care; My doctor commented during my vasectomy in Feb that my testicles were "smallish" and suggested that I see my family doctor to get my test levels checked. Now, if I had just come off a cycle or had ever used AAS before, I would attribute this smallness and concern to the cycle, but I have not done any gear yet. So, I get checked by my doc who tells me that he does not think anything is wrong and might not have noted the "smallishness" himself, but presribed full blood work. Blood work is now done, results are in, and a phone call (never a good sign) from my doctor today confirms that my pituatary gland function appears to be down; low test, low LH, low FSH levels. He asked again about the steroids, and after again confirming that I have not used gear, he told me he will be consulting with a specialist before he tells me any more about what he thinks might be the cause of my "condition".
Some stats again:
29yrs old
6'1"
235lbs
2 kids (4 yrs and 18 months)
Anyone know anything more about this kind of stuff? I know this is not a medical forum, but this seems to be the source for hormone related information. I am not clear on the connection between LH, FSH, and Test; I think that LH causes the Pituatary to release FSH, which causes the Testicles to release Test...is that right? Where does LH come from?
Does anyone know if this sounds like early natural ramp down of test levels? Or could this be something more serious? I am not too concerned at this point, but I really expected that I would have normal levels...I am muscular and I have two kids (good sperm count, I assume). Now I am freaking out about the fact that I do not have much body or facial hair, I have never been lean, and I had adolescent gyno when I was like 13 or 14 (which cleared up by 15 as I recall). What a year this has been. :(
