Thank you for the referral
I agree that there is a large overlap of symptoms and signs
None of the Symptoms of this showed up until recently and I am soon to be 72. The fertility aspect of this differential Dx is irrelevant and not useful as I have had a vasectomy in my early 20 s
Hair loss became noticeable 2 years ago, upper body strength reduced about a year ago .
Gynecomastia first noticed as puffy nipples a year ago
Breast growth showed up last fall and progressed quickly until the end of May
It has slowed since then and is no longer painful but it is an “ awareness “ now that there’s some activity in them
I am left with a noticeable bounce on stairs and while exercising and recently annoying right breast tenderness while driving from the seatbelt
Is it KS ? Possibly
Is it MEN 1 or 2 ? Could be more likely
Or simple hypogonadism?
Jury is out still but have piqued the Endocrinologist’s curiosity
Hoping that there is no osteoporosis or CA diagnosis as I am still under cancer surveillance for colon lesion 4.5 years ago
US yields no definite answer but last impression remark stated that ‘ no measurable lesions are found but neoplasm formation cannot be ruled out’
I have been through this before
Waiting is difficult and healthcare has slowed up since then due to Uncle Sam involvement and Covid
I remain a positive person despite the event horizon. Happy me.
