[QUOTE="Jason Sypolt, post: 64216, member: 13328"] I'm not sure I would rule out thyroid entirely because even though T3/T4 don't look bad, TSH is pretty high. That may be an additional issue that is the result of the other problems though. But it does look like primary to me based on what you posted since there is normal LH. Primary hypogonadism can be caused by things like infection, trauma to the brain or testicles, genetic conditions, cancer, or in my case "unknown'. It's basically testicular failure whereas secondary means that the right 'signals' are not getting to the testicles to produce testosterone. You are right though. His testosterone is very, very low, and that is definitely not normal. You've come to the right place to ask. This forum is based on actual science and data where some are not. Most of us deal with adults though and because your son can still be going through puberty that can complicate things. There is a banner for Defy on the right side of most pages of this site. They should be open today (Saturday 9a-2p Eastern) for a while and you can at least talk to someone to get some info to decide how you want to proceed. Several members here are treated there, and like I said earlier, I would take my kids there. It's hard enough to go through as an adult so for a kid, you need someone who isn't going to mess around and who will recognize that there are problems and will help. [/QUOTE]
