I guess that's the "stigma" I referred to. It's not very rational, though. To view it as "self-improvement" would be to not take the symptoms seriously, and I would hope as a society we've moved past that. As for a "quick fix" - well, for some people (certainly not everyone) it is that. It's not without its downsides, though. I'm going to be injecting myself for the rest of my life, a commitment I underook with my first dose (as natural production ceases, so coming off it is not easy). There are major concerns for fertility too, for those to whom it matters As for "advertising", I don't stand to gain anything from publicly and pseudo-anonymously sharing my experience of a medical treatment. If anything there are risks to doing that. And as for "the masses don't know this", it's more "your doctor probably won't test you for this". Look up the symptoms of hypogonadism, compare them to those described in this article and observe that the article makes no mention of it. If you know someone suffering these symptoms, and most people do, see if this diagnosis has ever been considered. The answer is probably no. It's not grey now as it's been voted back up, but it went down to -3 in a few minutes after posting, by far the strongest negative reaction I've had to a comment.
