What Are the Different Types of Hypogonadism? Hypogonadism is divided into two categories, dependent upon the source of the malfunction: primary and secondary: Primary hypogonadism is caused by a dysfunction of the sex organs (testes/ovaries) which suppresses hormone production. In this case, the pituitary gland still sends messages to the organs to produce hormones, but the target organ is unable to sufficiently respond to the stimulus. This suggests a malfunction at the intended organ, not with the signaling, and seeking a medical protocol to replenish these lacking hormones is the order of the day. Our physicians can talk to you … Continue reading →

DHEA is a steroid hormone that is the precursor of sex hormones such as Testosterone and Estrogen. DHEA acts as a weak Androgen, meaning that it has effects associated with masculine physiology. Androgens are produced by both sexes but are produced in higher volumes by males. Testosterone is the most well-known Androgen, but there are quite a few others. While DHEA is the building block of other hormones, including both Testosterone and Estrogen, the majority of DHEA is converted into the steroid Androstenedione. DHEA is released primarily by the Adrenal glands but also in small amounts by the brain and … Continue reading →

Researchers from the University of Adelaide have recently completed a study that provides strong evidence that a two-year course of Testosterone Therapy can likely reduce the risk of Type-2 Diabetes among adult males. To date, this is the largest study exploring the Benefits of Testosterone that has ever been conducted. This research was officially made public at the annual American Diabetes Society scientific conference. Type-2 Diabetes is a massive and growing burden on aging adults across the world. It's the highest prevalence among older males. Researchers sought to discover effective ways to protect high-risk men from developing Type-2 Diabetes. Bio-Identical … Continue reading →
