Explanation:

For males the normal range is 1.24 - 7.8 IU/L. If LH levels are below the normal range it may indicate a pituitary gland problem. Their pituitary gland may not be making enough LH which may lead to low testosterone.

Hypogonadism is a testicular disorder associated with low testosterone. Low testosterone levels can cause a variety of problems including diminished muscle mass & decreased sex drive as well as decrease in the physical as well as mental energy.
