Low LH, FSH and their connection to androgenic alopecia

bassistas
Hello, I am a 33 year old guy and from 2009 I started losing too much hair .In the last two years I started noticing thinning of my hair in the top part. It seems a large number of hair is in telogen phase. I was freaked out with the thinning and in the last 5 months I started using minoxidil. The density restored in some degree. But also I did some blood exams and I found my LH, FSH very low. So my question: is there any connection with these hormones to my hairloss ?
