[QUOTE="ratbag, post: 90591, member: 972"] This is exactly the problem. It's most unlikely you'll get diagnosed for any pituitary/hpta dysfunction because the average MD is not informed about such diagnoses. If you have gyno from an early age you have hormonal dysfunction. There are some sites that discuss pit/hpta dysfunction and the only MD's that are capable of diagnosing it is because they are affected themselves and now understand how it happened to them and as a result have become specialists in the field. In a perfect world he would have been diagnosed and treated but that didn't happen so because he has no diagnosis he doesn't qualify? You think gyno happens to people who have normal endocrine functions? I would not agree. BTW, pit MRI's don't count for squat when trying to determine pit/hpta function. There are lots of reports about empty sella pit scans they claim work perfectly... yet the MD's who make those distinctions know nothing about hormones. Again they look at labs and declare you normal. This is akin to you going to your PCP and saying I think I need TRT and he flatly states you are perfectly normal! Yet you get another appointment with Dr. Saya and he says yup there is room for improvement. Hormone discussion with a regular MD or endocrinologist is by and large a waste of everyone's time.
