This question is probably more for me but if the OP is in the same boat it will also help him. Kelkel, you stated that hypothyroid can lead to hypogonadism and I have read this several times as well. Would getting the thyroid hormones under control reverse my low T IF it were caused by the hypothyroid issue? Or has that train already left the station and I will need both thyroid (armour) replacement and testosterone replacement for life?

I was curious to know the answer to this as well. I'm going in for blood work on Wednesday of this week. Anything specific I should ask to have tested(beyond full thyroid panel) that may be a smoking gun moreso than perhaps the "usual suspects" to help point my doc in the proper direction to nail down a root cause of the Low T issue? I mean, I know that she IS a doctor and knows what she's talking about, but again she's no endocrinologist either. I'm just going to come out and ask the question that's on my mind as well, and brace myself to get flamed by the fairer sex that may stumble across this thread, so here goes: Should I be seeing a male doctor instead of a female because it seems that male docs may have a more firm grasp on the happs of low T vs a female doc because well, they ARE men and tend to have a bit more real world experience when it comes to testosterone..
