A member asked:

Please tell me, could androgel 1.62 shrink your testicles?

Dr. George Klauber answered

Specializes in Pediatric Urology

Yes it could: Androgel will cause pituitary gland to secrete less luteinizing hormone (lh). Lh stimulates testicular leydig cells to produce testosterone. They will tend to atrophy without lh stimulation.
