[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 122022, member: 15832"] One who is low testosterone long enough and accompanied by low estrogen would expect to be diagnosed with osteoporosis, estrogen is required for bone mineral density. My sister got osteoporosis 20 years after menopause do to low estrogen, she fell on her back and found out the hard way. Restoring testosterone will increase estrogen may help you with your osteoporosis, but it will take time to put bone back in bone. I will however give your doctor credit for ordering the correct estrogen test, we rarely see it I'm concerned about any doctor failing to run SHBG and free testosterone though, this is where I usually tell the member to start looking for an new doctor. SHBG guides injection frequency, I'm a low SHBG guy and require frequent injections EOD or everyday, otherwise it's like injecting water. You're labs are indicating primary failure, testicles are damaged. LH is midrange and total testosterone should be as well. Probably a mixture of both primary and secondary. The low Vit D in my case was caused by low testosterone, went on TRT and Vit D magically went back up on it's own. When one or more hormones are out of balance, it can disrupt so may others including Vit D. I must warn you the majority of endocrinologists have no clue how to do TRT, endocrinologists usually do thyroid and diabetes and not TRT, finding a knowledgeable one will be your biggest challenge. In my case I went private, all my endo's randomly changed my TRT protocol when they had no clue what they were doing. You spend a couple hours reading on Excelmale and take these concerns to your endo and get used to the deer in headlights look on their faces. Almost no time is devoted to male/female hormones in medical school, however anti-aging and sports medicine has been doing TRT for 40+ years. [/QUOTE]
