Unexplained testosterone deficiency?
I have had the problem for about 1 year.
Male, 27 years old, weight 78kg.
It all started with dizziness and hot flashes. Then came fatigue, weakness, and back pain.
When I went to the GP, anemia was initially diagnosed. After feeling worse after a vacation, a more extensive blood test was done. It was found that my testosterone level is at 0.35 ng/ml.
I was referred to an endocrinologist. They performed an MRI of my head to check the pituitary gland (nothing was found). Blood was drawn, results are attached. Blood results include (clinical findings, general laboratory diagnostics, parameters of pituitary function, bone metabolism parameters).
The endocrinologist cannot explain where the deficiency comes from. I was prescribed Testogel to use. I am supposed to come back for a check-up after a year.
It cannot be that without finding a cause, they simply prescribe Testogel and tell me to use it. When I asked about the consequences of using the gel, I was told there are none.
Can the causes be narrowed down based on the values, where the deficiency could be? Or can someone possibly tell me what other tests I can do to narrow down the cause? I am lost and feel like the endocrinologist is not taking me seriously!
My girlfriend and I were planning to start trying for a baby in the winter.
Current symptoms: Spine gets very hot (occasionally), hot flashes, muscle cramps (occasionally), tingling in the feet (rarely), feeling that the skin is burning (rarely), pulling sensation in the left groin area (occasionally), pain above the stomach and feeling like I'm about to faint after eating (rarely), occasional cervical spine problems (pinched nerve), dizziness during exercise.
