HRT Questions

[Razor]

A man's testes needs Luteinizing Hormone (LH) to function properly.

In presence of suppressed or zero serum levels of LH will cause testicular shutdown...atrophy will follow along with lower levels of sex hormones and other things...

I am curios as to what "natural" means.

If a man is shut down due to physiological causes it will usually point to something pathological unless it's just age related of course.

Natural shutdown meaning andropause
So a man will have shrinkage do to andropause?

Ok, andropause = age related.

It's unlikely Testicular Atrophy will occur based on age related decline as HPTA is till functioning albeit not optimal by any means but there will still be enough LH production to keep the testes functioning but not optimally.

Even with Exogenous Testosterone the Pituitary still produces some LH but very tiny small amounts.
