[QUOTE="Stpfan, post: 278894, member: 39333"] Quite interesting. I was just diagnosed with this around Feb 2024. It took me 5 years to convince any Endocrinologist to run an MRI on the Pituitary... I finally found a woman doctor who would authorize the MRI. She told me... I didn't even order this searching for "Partially Empty Sella"... this was considered an "incidental finding". After confirming "Partially Empty Sella" my report indicated Pituitary Gland small in size and having decreased volume. No other indications or findings in the report. No lesions found. Basically she told me this is considered idiopathic. She said your Testosterone levels were low and you replaced them... your thyroid, cortisol, is normal. She said... I can't conclusively say "Partially Empty Sella" caused low testosterone. If I had to guess... (she said) I would say no. Then she indicated good luck on everything... I can't treat you. Please find someone else. lol Ever since this new information surfaced.... every single Endocrinologist wants me OFF OF TESTOSTERONE. The only doctor that wants me ON TESTOSTERONE is my Urologist. My Urologist told me... have your other doctors gone nuts? He said please show me why YOU DON'T NEED IT? That's all I request. Show me why you don't need it? I haven't seen 1 document in 5 years that indicates you don't need it. Gotta love the medical field right? [/QUOTE]
