Anyone on TRT with pituitary problems use HGH
ad
I was curious if anyone like myself that has a pituitary gland that's AFU (gonadal) use HGH?I ask because the way I understand it (still learning)is GH is also released via the PG like LH/FSH. My pit issues are related to LH/FSH and not GH. I hate to drop coin if this isn't going to work. Any experience? Thoughts?

Thats what they said is causing my low test anf no LH. Had ct scan of pit but no tumor. 47 YO and TRT has done wonders for me. Just changed Endo last week to more pro active one a post a few down from yours. The took tons of blood to ck ALL my hormones I felt off kilter and a roller coaster. 1ml everytwo weeks. She already said they change that but want blood work back. lost over 60lbs Yea. GOOD LUCK
Isnt going to work for what? If your pituitary gland issue is with LH/FSH then you should still have normal GH levels. At 37 you would benefit from HGH.
Rereading my question it was vague and noob sounding so let me explain my thought process.
Simple version background - LH/FSH related PG issues causing hypogonadism that in turn has placed me on TRT.
When reading about the anterior PG you as many may know it controls the release of somatrophins (including GH), corticotropins, lactotrophins (prolactin), gonadotropins (LH/FSH) and melanotrophins. The anterior PG is regulated by the hypothalamus. That's a single source regulating all the secretion. With no tumor, numerous tests, MRI's I never received a solid reason for my PG to not function correctly. I'm no doctor and can be way off but if the PG is technically ok but the issue is really the hypothalamus is the issue but honestly Im not qualified to make that statement. That said even if the hypo or PG are not working correctly I assumed GH would have a positive effect but wanted to make sure before the investment. Hope that validates why I asked as medically speaking things can get complicated.
I figured but when spending the cash I like to be sure. Appreciate your response
