Understanding Low Testosterone (Low T)
Some men have low testosterone levels. This is called Hypogonadism or Low Testosterone (Low-T). It’s more than just feeling tired 24/7; men often experience the symptoms of low testosterone such as muscle loss, erectile dysfunction, difficulty concentrating, weight gain, and much more. And as men get older, testosterone levels naturally decline, so it’s not unlikely for many men to experience the symptoms of Low T.
If you don’t have the energy to get through the day, if you can’t remember the last time you and your spouse had sexual intercourse, and notice your relationships and work are suffering; it may be your testosterone levels affecting your ability to live your best life.
Testosterone replacement therapy is a safe and effective option for getting your life back. Some contributing factors are obesity, stress, anxiety, chronic illness, working extended hours or swing shift, lack of good nights rest, and even just the normal aging process.
The American Urology Association (AUA) identifies low blood testosterone (Low-T) as less than 300 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL). These symptoms or conditions may accompany Low-T:
