Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

Welcome to HCM. I have gone through the question and understand your concerns.

You should consult an endocrinologist and get evaluated immediately.

The usual initial tests that we do are serum LH, FSH, morning testosterone, thyroid function tests and prolactin.

Treatment depends on the report of lab tests.

Hope I have answered your questions. If you have any further queries I will be happy to help you.

Regards,

Thank you for your support doctor. But can I end up with the positive result? I have moustache and beard very lightly, but my bodily growth is poor. My question is "Am I suffering from hypogonodism or not?" When I asked a general physician he checked my mouth and knee area (thyroid related) and said that there is no thyroid problem. Then whats wrong with me?

Hi XXXXXXX

Welcome back.

You could be suffering from hypogonadism. Only blood test can confirm or rule out this. So have the blood test done - LH, FSH and testosterone, which will clear the doubts.
