Question sbout Primary vs Secondary HypoGonadism

Gee what a question the treatment is about the same. I was told for 23 yrs I am primary until I added HCG to my T shots and my TT levels doubled. I do feel if your Secondary it's easier to get treated for tests that are low normal. Like cortsol, thyroid, IGF-1, DHEA and low Aldosterone these are all things that the Pituitary controls.
 
I would rather be secondary given the choice between the two. For some reason I don't mind the idea it is in my "head" or brain, but knowing my balls don't work seems more immasculating. More importantly though there may be some discovery some day that will result in a new treatment for a broken HPTA, but if you balls don't work then there is not much you can do for them. Finally with HCG I am able to make some of my T myself and Dr. Shippen has said there is always the possibility they also make some other unknown hormone that effects libido so it is a good idea to keep them working as long as possible.
 
Agree 100%- I would feel a great stigma if primary

Although it's totally illogical, I'd feel more emasculated with primary vs. secondary. Can't help the way I feel.....

I do not care if I am primary or secondary.
As long as the pines is working.
Balls are just decoration anyhow.

Do not accept pressure if you do not have to.
