How To Confirm The Condition Of Secondary Hypogonadism?

Hi. Im 26 years and from Norway. I exersice and eat healthy, have good friends and a good job. I am 188cm and weight 88 kilo. I have had low energy and sex drive, and sometimes depressed for over a year, maybe more. I said to my doctor that after a month with testogel, I wasnt impressed. My latest results are: Testosterone 15.8 nmo/L SHBG 19 nmo/L LH: 1,9 IU/L FSH 0,8 IU/L Androstendion 2,2 nmo/L As you can see my LH and FSH are really low. I think also my androstendion is low. The value range on the internet, I believe is a statistic of what a human from 18 to 85 years have been measured. Its not what is healty. This also applies the testosterone. I believe I should have about 35 nmo/L witch I think is about 800 ng/dl. The doctor gave me testogel that should last for a year now, but I think I need shots and a good follow-up on this one. It is easy to say that I am healty, and let me fuck off and apply the gel on me for the rest on my life, and think that the placebo effect will help on me. What do you think about this situation? Could I have the secondary hypogonadism?

no you are not having seconadaru gonadism. so dont worry about ur illness..your LH and FSH are low because of feed back inhibition..that means iatrogenic as you using testogel. so stop it applying you will get cured by yourself. so dont worry live a healthy life. discontinue the testogel. and for low mood you can use ssri and snri drugs for mood elevation and other sexual problems.
