low testosterone and getting shorter?

[Jumbo18]

this may sound odd, but will low testosterone levels for an extended period of time reduce your height. I have been living with low testosterone for a year now due to not recovering from a bad cycle. I have felt as if my bones have gotten weaker and smaller. I used to always wear size 10 or 10.5 for my shoes, and i measured my feet and they came out at 9 feet. It may be in my head but i would like clarification, however my bones have definitely gotten weaker. I wanted to somewhat confirm my suspicion, and came onto this link with some symptoms of low testosterone

http://healthwriter.eu/testosterone-...-and-symptoms/

and it says at the very bottom:

Lab Results in Low Testosterone (4)

* Decreased bone density by dexa scan
* Loss in height of more than 1 inch.

Why don't you go to a doctor and get prescribed androgel or if worst comes to worst go on TRT?

yes lower testosterone contributes to lower bone density.

Lol your foot size is 9 feet...

I'd go see a doctor. Seems like it's been dragged out long enough.

i'm on hcg therapy now by my doctor, he tells me i might need to go on hrt ill find out in 2 months if i will go on testosterone replacement therapy. Now since lower testosterone contributes to lower bone density; cant it contribute to making your feet smaller or general frame smaller thus making you shorter?

[peachfuzz]

that is what i am unsure of.

alot of studies looking at women with osteoporosis show no decrease in height.

hopefully someone can shed some more light. maybe post your question in musclescience's thread.
