[QUOTE="Hopeful, post: 79544, member: 16300"] OK, I found this on Mayo Clinic site... Male hypogonadism means the testicles don't produce enough of the male sex hormone testosterone. There are two basic types of hypogonadism: [LIST] [*][B]Primary.[/B] This type of hypogonadism — also known as primary testicular failure — originates from a problem in the testicles. [*][B]Secondary.[/B] This type of hypogonadism indicates a problem in the hypothalamus or the pituitary gland — parts of the brain that signal the testicles to produce testosterone. The hypothalamus produces gonadotropin-releasing hormone, which signals the pituitary gland to make follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). Luteinizing hormone then signals the testes to produce testosterone. [/LIST] So, since my LH is in the middle of the range (3.4), I would probably not have the Secondary type? Or is 3.4 actually to low? [/QUOTE]
