DEAR SIR,

I AM SUFFERING FROM HYPOGONADISM,HAVING EXTREMELY LOW TESTOSTERONE LEVELS.

PLEASE LOOK FOR THE ATTACHED DOCUMENTS.ALL MY DETAILS ARE MENTIONED IN IT.

I HAVE SOME DOUBTS REGARDING IT AND WANT TO CLARIFY THEM BEFORE TAKING ANY SUCH TREATMENTS.

*I WANTED TO ASK WETHER THE DETAILS FURNISHED ARE SUFFICIENT TO CONCLUDE THAT I AM SUFFERING FROM HYPOGONADISM:

IF NOT THEN WHAT FURTHER TESTS ARE REQUIRED AND THE CONCLUSIONS THAT CAN BE MADE FM IT OR IF THERE ARE POSSIBILITIES OF ANY OTHER DISEASE OR CAUSE OF MY PROBLEMS;

AND IF YES THEN IT IS WCHICH TYPE OF HYPOGONADISM (PRIMARY OR SECONDARY).

*AS MENTIONED I HAD BEEN ADVICED TO TAKE TESTOSTERONE INJECTIONS, WHICH I AM MAINLY CONCERNED WITH.I AM AFRAID OF THE SIDEFFECTS/ RISKS OF TAKING SUCH HORMONAL INJECTIONS.AND HENCE IS HESITATING FROM FOLLOWING MY DOCTOR'S ADVICE.KINDLY LIST ALL THE POSSIBLE SIDEEFFECTS AND RISKS OF TAKING IT.AND IS THERE ANY ALTERNATE WAY OF GETTING IT CURED, OR IF IT'S POSSIBLE THAT I NEED NOT TAKE ANY SUCH TREATMENT.

*IF THERE IS NO ALTERNATE SOLUTIONS WHICH ARE RISK FREE THEN WHAT PRECAUTIONS I NEED TO TAKE AND WHAT IMMEDIATE EFFECTS WILL I HAVE TO FACE AFTER TAKING THE INJECTIONS.

I WILL BE HIGHLY GRATEFUL TO U IF U TAKE THE PAIN OF REPLYING TO ME AND HELP ME IN GETTING MY PROBLEMS CURED.
