Patient's question:
What is the interaction between the six hormones secreted in the six gonadal tests?Doctor's answer:
Hello: The ability of hormone levels in the human body to maintain a certain level is due to the regulation of the nervous system related to gonadal secretion. When hormone concentrations are high, this nervous system suppresses the secretion of corresponding organs. However, taking testosterone and pseudo-testosterone artificially deceives the nervous system related to gonadal secretion, making it believe that the hormone levels in the body have greatly exceeded the normal range. As a result, the activity of the corresponding organs—the testes—is inhibited. Long-term dormancy of the testes can lead to irreversible atrophy. Moreover, to neutralize excessive androgens, the relevant nervous system secretes estrogen in the body. Therefore, after discontinuing the medication, male secondary sexual characteristics will decline.Advice: It is recommended that you continue to rely on hormone intake to maintain this, creating a vicious cycle. If testosterone is within the normal range, no treatment is needed. Elevated progesterone should be judged based on the specific extent to which it exceeds the normal range. Additionally, a single elevated hormone level can only indicate endocrine dysfunction and cannot be used as a definitive diagnosis.

Through specialized professional examinations, the underlying cause can be identified, and targeted treatment can be administered.
