Suggest Treatment For Grave S Disease

Well I currently have Grave s disease, I ve notice that my testicles have gotten smaller, I have grown male breast, also I have gained weight, I m currently 6 2 235 lbs, now I ve been told I have Low Testosterome, I really don t know what path to take? The urologist tried to get me to get a new treatment done, which implants pellets in your back through surgery not for me, also I forgot my thyroid levels are low, I m taking levothyroxine, my doctor has increased it to 250 daily, oh yea I forgot my vitiman D is low, my problem is that I want to attack the route of the problem then maybe everything else will cure it s self because I don t want to start taking all these medicines, so what should I do? I was thinking that If I loose weight, get multivitimans and eat healthy then my low Testosterome will go away and so will my low vitamin d, and stay on my Endocrinologist about my THS levels because now I see her every 6months and when I see her, all see does is examine me and get my bloodwork done, I don t feel like she is developing a plan for me, I know you probably will say get a second opinion or new doctor, I just might

Endocrinologist 's  Response
Hello,

If thyroid hormones are still not corrected under levothyroxine, it might be a cause of low testosterone. If the TSH level is normal and low testosterone persists, of course, testosterone treatment is needed.

Rather pellets, gel or injections it depends on the possibility you have to buy them as there are significant price differences. Pellet is the most recommended.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Mirjeta Guni, Endocrinologist
