i have been having many sexual dysfunction issues and what seems to be a stunt in pubescent growth since i suffered a traumatic brain injury in 1999. i was 18 years old at the time and i still grow the same (limited) amount of facial hair and have the same small amount of chest hair, etc. my father can grow a full thick beard, as could my grandfather. i have a few patch blotches, nowhere close to a beard. i suffer pretty much every symptom of someone who has low testosterone issues. i believe that i damaged my pituitary gland. i have had numerous tests, but the results are always within the normal range (although the bottom of the group)
keeping in mind that i am a 26 year old male, are the following numbers normal? here they are :
SSH - 3.5
Lutein - 4.0 (LH)
Prolactin - 9.3
Free testosterone - 13.8
thyroid - 1.3

i can't find sure answers as to what those numbers could mean. any help would be invaluable, the more comprehensive the better. this has been torment for years. thank you!

Here's a good website to see if your levels are within normal limits:

Do you have a good friend or family member near you who can give you a place to stay? Is there a woman's shelter near you? If you say yes to any of these questions, I suggest you leave your husband regardless of whether or not the baby is his. It sounds to me like you're in an abusive relationship that you should exit anyhow. Find a way to get a paternity test. How do you know for certain the baby is the 19-year old's? Either way, you'll need child support. Ultimately, you'll do what you think is best for you and the baby, even if you decide to give it up for adoption. Listening to intuition always helps me make good life decisions. These are just my suggestions to you. I wish you the best of luck.

Hello...the lab should have ranges on the test results. You have to go by the lab's ranges because different labs do the testing differently so ranges will be different. If you think you have pituitary damage you need to have a pituitary MRI (not just a brain MRI) to see if it is normal size. If your tests are low normal, it is very possible you have a pituitary problem but you need a good pituitary endocrinologist to diagnose it. Go to www.pituitary.org and look at Dr. listings. Also, look here at this chart to see if you have symptoms: http://www.goodhormonehealth.com/symptoms/gland_hormone_symptom_table.html
