Possible reasons for low LH and FSH

[johnfromeurope]

Hi guys,
i got one simple question. what are the possible reasons for low LH and FSH, which off course results in low T.
I have some foggy ideas:
-pituitary tumor
-prolactinoma(what is this?)
-overactive thyroid-(how do we treat that?)
-underactive thyroid-(how do we treat that?)
-high iron
is that correct? is there anything else?

Here is what I wrote about possible causes of Secondary Hypogonadism in the Basic TRT Overview sticky.

Possible causes of Secondary Hypogonadism include: physical trauma to the head, aging, pituitary and/or hypothalamus tumor (usually benign), Hyperprolactinemia, Kallman’s Syndrome, HIV, obesity. Again, there are other possibilities as well that you can discuss with your doctor. If you are secondary you should consult with an endocrinologist and probably have an MRI done. Sometimes it is possible to get your pituitary gland working again by attempting a “restart”. This option should be considered especially if you are in your 20’s or early 30’s. I won’t go into details here, but it often involves using Clomid or other similar medications. I would strongly encourage you to work with a doctor that is very knowledgeable in restart protocols.

Pituitary, prolactin and thyroid problems can be treated with medications and/or surgery.

I have my TSH result. It's 1.870 range is 0.55-4.78. What does that mean?

Btw my TT is always around 390, LH on the low edge(1.57 i think), FSH on the low edge(3 i think), E2 always around 25. And im 21.

It means your Thyroid Stimulating Hormone looks normal. Your thyroid appears to be functioning properly and likely is not the cause of your Lowish T.
