Hi All,

Im new to this forum but have followed several of the var threads.
I was diagnosed with a grade 2 bi-lateral varicocele over 15 years and 4 months ago had a varicocele emboliztion. Like so many in many situaiton I had a full endocrinology report and both my FSH and testosterone were very low.

Testosterone – 21.8 [7.6-31.4 nmol/L] LOW?!?!?
Testosterone Free – 12.3 [8.8 – 27]
DHT – awaiting data
Progesterone - 1.1 [0.7-4.3 nmol/L]
ProLactin - 194 [86-324)
Estradiol - 97 [44-156 pmol/L]
DHEA – 4.1 [0.4-13.4]
CORTISOL 475 [171-536]
Sex Horm Bind Glob - 49.0 [13.0-71.0]
Free Androgen Index – 44.5 [14.8-94.8]
FSH - 1.6 [1.5-12.4] VERY LOW!?!?!?
LH - 3.2 [1.7-8.6]
Progesterone – 1.1 – [0.7 -4.3]
TSH - 2.23 [0.27-4.2]
Free Throxine – 17.3 [12-22]
T3 – 5 [3.1-6.8]

After doing research I have found:

• Hypogonadism resulting from defects of the gonads is traditionally referred to as primary hypogonadism. Examples include Klinefelter syndrome and Turner syndrome. Mumps is known to cause testicular failure, and in recent years has been immunized against in the US. A varicocele can reduce hormonal production as well.

Secondary hypogonadism: When androgen deficiency is the result of diseases of the pituitary/ Hypothalamus, the condition is described as secondary hypogonadism or hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism due to the low levels of LH and FSH. When there is no other concurrent pituitary hormone deficit, the condition is usually called isolated hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism. This is due to a congenital deficiency in hypothalamic Gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH)

Can anyone let me know what they think of my test and or my theory.

Cheers.

your testicles are just fine, this is about 600-620 ng/dl in american units, you're not hypogonadal.
