Delayed Growth

[Zedded]

So, I am almost 19 years old and my bone age is 17, my prolactin levels are high, and my testosterone is below what it should be for someone of my age. I have been training for 2 years with a pretty clean diet. Lately I have been slowly loosing weight and been in a depressed state because I really want to go to the gym but I am really tired and run out of breath a few reps into my sets. I've been to the doc and referred to an endocrinologist its my last hope at getting some type of hormone therapy. Should I just straight up tell the doc I want trt because they have every reason too give it to me but they don't like to treat unless you have a legitimate medical disease. If it doesn't work out I will probably end up finding a source and pinning myself because I can't live like this.

Everything was pretty normal besides my test was about 500 ng/dl and my prolactin was 15.6 normal range was like 4-11. might have hypothyroid, what results can I expect on T3, T4?

So just how does one determine "bone age" when it is different from "calendar age"?

TBH, I've never heard of anyone referring to "Bone Age" before.

I expect you should stop looking for an excuse to use something and focus on diet and training if you want to grow. If you think I'm wrong them get more blood work done and find out where you are lacking.

its an x-ray they do to determine the age of someones bones, if the bone age is inconsistent with the chronological age than there is obviously an issue with hormones and growth
