Common Signs You May be Experiencing Low Testosterone

Some men may experience sudden drops in testosterone levels due to an underlying medical condition, but hormone levels in men may also decline naturally as they age, beginning as early as 40 and continuing into their 70s. This means that you may not realize that symptoms like moodiness, weight gain, or sexual dysfunction are a result of low-T, as they can come-on slowly and then subtly become more of a problem over time.

Symptoms of low testosterone include:

Diminished sex drive
Muscle loss and weakness
Erectile dysfunction
Irritability or depression
Diminished confidence or general well-being
Hair loss
Weight (fat) gain
Lethargy and fatigue
Poor memory and/or concentration

How We Diagnose Low-T

If you are regularly experiencing some or all of these symptoms, you should see a licensed medical specialist for a comprehensive exam, and to be tested for low testosterone. Your licensed medical specialist will ask you questions about your symptoms, lifestyle, and medical history to rule out any underlying health issues that may be causing a hormonal imbalance.

Some potential causes of testosterone deficiency include:

Infection of the testicles
Excess iron in the body (hemochromatosis)
Steroid use
Systematic inflammatory conditions
Cancer treatments (radiation, chemotherapy, hormone analogue medications)
Klinefelter’s Syndrome (extra X chromosome)
Pituitary gland dysfunction
Cirrhosis of the liver / alcoholism
Chronic high stress levels

Once your licensed medical specialist rules out other medical conditions, he will measure the amount of testosterone in your blood with a series of simple blood tests. It may require several tests to verify testosterone deficiency, since hormonal levels tend to fluctuate throughout the day. Because testosterone levels are generally highest early in the day, your licensed medical specialist will likely want your first test to be done in the morning. If your licensed medical specialist determines that your symptoms are due to decreased production of testosterone, they will offer a variety of treatment options that provide effective hormone replacement. Dosages are adjusted by your licensed medical specialist according to your individual symptoms and testosterone levels.

The choice of hormone replacement therapy is best made with a thorough discussion of the options and their side effects with your licensed medical specialist.

Key Benefits of Testosterone Therapy

If you have been suffering the symptoms of testosterone deficiency, you may experience significant improvement with testosterone therapy. Many men report increased energy levels of sex drive, improved moods, fat loss, and an increase in muscle mass with exercise. Testosterone may also increase bone density and insulin sensitivity in some men. The degree of change in symptoms – whether effects are mild or a major change – varies with each individual.
