Hypogonadism is a fairly common condition for those of us who are getting older, but it can happen at any age.
I was diagnosed last year by a wonderful endocrinologist who was not afraid to be "aggressive"! I am taking thyroid(witch actually helps raise the mood). I am also on a few testosterone precursers and also inject Testosterone on a weekly basis. Not only did it help stabilize my Bipolar moods, it got rid of my "GUT" without radical dieting, but I have been able to pack on some serious muscle (gotta love that test). If your diagnosed with Hypogonadism, please find an endocrinologist who is not afraid to put your level in the high normal range (900 is nice). Hope this helps. Posted on 08/02/09, 10:08 pm |

Thanks for sharing. I live in a rural area and I'm not getign much suooirt for and testosterone replacement advice from my MD. I have looked at reNEW man site and may go there. Your advice about an endrocrinologist may be even better. In my case I have sevre depression and anxiety attacks for 4 years now.

Hi Nevik. I have looked at the renew man site. I looked at the cost of treatment for what you'll most likely need and it is HIGH! If you can see a local endrocrinologist, you can get better service at far less than online hormone replacements. Your MAIN complaint, should you go to the endrocrinologist, should be loss of all libido. If you start with that they will be more willing to move you to high normal. It is very subjective, and you are the only judge of your own libido.

It can be expensive no matter where you look. I was getting 200mg of depotestosterone from my MD once a month for $95. reNEWman is $120 for a month but I'm getting 150mg twice a week. Better balance than the 200 at once. My t level also ever got to 570 so hoping that the reNEWman will bring me up to the 800-900 mark and balance out my mood. If this doesn't do it I will on the the endrocrinologist.
