  • Dr. Eric Tygenhof takes you through how the most important male hormones can impact fertility. Having a better understanding of what the hormones do and how they interact will allow you to make sense of your tests. He discusses the relationships between testosterone, estrogen (estradiol), LH, FSH, prolactin, and inhibin and how these hormones can impact sperm counts and sperm quality.
    Dr. Eric Tygenhof is a board-certified expert urologist specializing in general urology, with a particular emphasis in stone disease and robotic surgery. He practices in Fullerton, California as a partner at Southland Urology. He is also a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons.

    *Please help - are FSH 2 IU/L and LH 1 IU/L dangerously low?* My testosterone is 13 nmol/l and estrodial is 120 pmol. I have been sedentary for years, especially these past 2 years due to quarantine. I’m 25, and 360lbs. I have lost 80lbs over the past 5 months and my testosterone increasing from 9 nmol to 13 nmol. I have been cutting out carbs, and eating lots of health fats and protein.

    • @DoctorEric
      @DoctorEric  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The normal range varies a bit from lab to lab, but the FSH seems okay. The LH is slightly low, but with a normal testosterone level that is of likely little importance. I think you're on the right track with weight loss.

      @zippo_muk9254 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@DoctorEric Thank you. I was unsure as they were borderline low. I have noticed less semen in the past month, but I think it could be due to a calorie deficit. I’m eating basically a low carb carnivore diet except with a few things, lots of grass fed red meat, kangaroo meat, salmon, oysters, egg yolk, but also some berries and raw organic honey, cutting down on dairy, and polyunsaturated fats; and having less meals throughout the day to minimise insulin spikes.
      My vitamin D is 119, so that’s good. I was at 15 almost 1.5 years ago. I’ve been doing 5000 IU vitamin D3 daily and 150mcg of Vitamin K2(M7).

    What Does FSH And LH Do For Muscles And Bones And Bodybuilding , Fat Loss ?

    • @DoctorEric
      @DoctorEric  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nothing. Those are signaling hormones that have effects within the testicles. The LH drives testosterone production. The testosterone can increase muscle mass, improve weight loss, and improve bone health.

    Was on TRT a decade, came back with azoospermia. Sperm 0. FSH 1.8 and LH is .3. My testosterone at time was 682 ng/dl - irrelevant. Now on a journey to regain fertility. I've been off 1 month now. Not feeling great but taking everything and some. Had a kid before TRT so i know my body was capable when natural. Getting bloods done in a couple weeks for a low baseline and then follow up a couple of months after. What a geeat guinea pig i am.

      @DoctorEric  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      There's a possibility of a prolactinoma, which is a benign type of tumor of the pituitary gland. That can be evaluated with an MRI. The other possibility, if the FSH is normal, would be an obstructive process.
