While prostate changes can
occur with testosterone replacement, a study published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism in June of 2010, which looked closely at the adverse reactions reported in 51 other studies, found there to be no increased risk of the development of prostate cancer, prostate related urinary symptoms, or elevated PSA (prostate specific antigen).
While some of the same side effects can
occur with testosterone replacement therapy, the severity is not nearly the same.

So, in this case, if you look at luteinizing hormone, luteinizing hormone is your brain's signal to tell your testes to make more
testosterone, and if you have low
testosterone, you may want to consider as I did on this panel, testing luteinizing hormone because that can show whether it's an issue
with the testes, or whether it's an issue
with the brain, and it looks like what you're saying, Dr. Bryan, is that in my case, I'm showing low luteinizing hormone, which suggests that these issues
with, for example, low
testosterone, or cortisol, might be
occurring potentially, you know, higher up and, you know, from a brain signaling level.
And if that's the case
