Did any of u guys have yr pituitary checked somehow or even an mri scan. Im curious cause my endo suggested an mri scan after the blood test revealed low testosterone. He said it was standard procedure for his office so got me thinking bout u guys (some of u atleast) who have known for years bout low t or other hormonal imbalances.
Cheers
Yeah, a doctor I went and saw didn’t even suggest an MRI scan and concluded I was hypogonadal and needed TRT based on my bloodwork. However, based on the research I’ve done that is definitely a wise step to take to make sure you don’t have any tumors.
yes i had an pituitary mri scan done. showed no abnormalities or tumors. had it done cuz i had lab work that showed low to mid range T levels…but more importantly low LH levels.
if ur dr is suggesting and your insurance covers than get it done. its harmless yet very informative. chances are if your prolactin levels are normal than ur pituitary gland is fine. if u do have a tumor…ur prolactin levels will be higher than the max range and rest of your hormones would be wacked…including your IGF (growth hormones).
good luck
