A member asked:
Severe heat in the body at moments (particularly the back). i suffer from chronic epididymitis. could the heat be from androgen deficiency? male, 21.

Not likely: By severe heat do you mean a fever? Or do you mean hot flashes? Extremely low testosterone levels cause sensations of hot flashes especially in older patients on treatment for prostate cancer. The likelihood of you having such extremely low testosterone levels is very low at your age. Your doctor can do blood tests to check this as indicated.
