A member asked:
How would you find out if weight gain is from hypogonadism or just lack of excercise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lack of exercise: Despite what you may be seeing on the internet, tv, or hearing from friends, hypogonadism is uncommon, especially in 20 year olds, and would be a very unlikely cause for weight gain. Lack of exercise and overeating is by far the more likely explanation.
