Having been diagnosed with "hypopituitarism" I have to take hormone replacements using injections every other week for testosterone and thyroxine (for the thyroid) so far! The other important hormone at our age controlled by the pituitary gland is cortisol--low for now but within the acceptable limits.

It is no fun living without these essential hormones and definitely dangerous. Without them you are tired, aching, depressed, pass out easily and on and on!

A car ran into me while cycling (of course) and crashed into his windshield and fell off the car hitting the back of my head on the pavement with a bad concussion which dislodged that tiny gland that is so vital--yes I was wearing a helmet which cracked!

Testosterone has little to do with sex and everything to do with good health from muscle and bone strength as well as cognitive ability. etc.
