Intriguing stuff, possibly highlighting another distinct cause of hypogonadism, along with a new treatment option. There's been little discussion of gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone or GnIH. This hormone counters kisspeptin and suppresses the HPTA. An excess of GnIH may lead to hypogonadism. RF9...

Hey everyone, I had a though and felt I'd ask everyone. What do you think caused your hypogonadism? I was thinking about my etiology and realized I don't particularly have one. I did have an one sided orchiectomy (removal of testicle) for cryptorchidism, but that wouldn't have an effect on my...

There are many common symptoms in depression and hypogonadism, especially those subjective, my question is how do physicians know when hypogonadism causes depression, and when depression causes hypogonadal symptoms?

To be clear, my doctor's never diagnosed me as hypgonadal because my Total Testosterone has never been below 300. However, I'm 42 years old and for at least of a handful of times over the years in my 30's I have never tested over a 396 in my Total T. I've consistently been in the 323-396 range...
