[QUOTE="AbsoluteZ3R0, post: 74473, member: 15174"] What's with the straw men fallacies? All we concluded was that further testing is in order to rule out any actual endocrine/testicular issues. If the doctors determine that a lifestyle change is the best solution based on the available evidence, then great. However, based on the information I have available to me and the knowledge I possess, I think it's unlikely that the fix will be so simple. As user-joe indicated, I've literally never seen one shred of medical or scientific evidence implying that simply getting "fit" corrects testosterone deficiency. I've never once said "just pump him up." That said, assuming he has an actual endocrine issue, something like clomid could SAVE him and give him the quality of life he deserves. When I was a teenager I knew people with hypothyroidism who had to take synthetic thyroid hormone. Sometimes you get dealt a shitty hand with a health issue and you have to take the steps to correct it, regardless of age. Being on something like clomid at age 17-18 if you NEED it is far from the worst thing in the world. Unlike testosterone, it doesn't cause total htpa shutdown. Coming off of it simply returns you to baseline. It is a quick and effective tool when NEEDED. All I'm saying is that I think it's more likely he will need it than not, and that it is more likely that his issue will not be resolved by lifestyle improvements. [/QUOTE]
