got labs back. Thoughts?

Doc thinks my low T stems from a pit. gland issue. Thoughts?

Prolactin 23.5H (4.8-23.3)
Estradiol 9.9
LH 7.1
FSH 5.0
Free T 4.4H
Total T 262 H



This is now the 4th test where my total T is under 300. 30 year old male, 175ilbs, 5'11

I very much doubt so your prolactin is only marginally elevated and LH is good, when low T stems from pituitary issues you either got very low LH/FSH and/or very high prolactin (ie. from prolactinoma or drug induced).

You should check your thyroid next. That's another reason for mild hyperprolactinemia also. You need to pull TSH, FT4 and FT3.


It would be a good idea also to refer to a specialist in hormones as GPs aren't usually savvy on the matter.

Thanks for the note, she is a endro. Ready to figure all this shit out.

[hammerheart]

she is a endo

Unfortunately that's no guarantee either. Good luck with everything.

Have you had your testicles checked?

[wellshii]

Your LH and FSH are fairly high ,the gland is sending the message,but your testis seem not to be responding.
As mentioned,your thyroid needs to be checked.

Your diet good?
Minerals?
Toxins?

I vote twice for a testicular issue here.
