Low testosterone, also known as low T or hypotestosteronemia, is a condition where the body does not produce adequate amounts of the hormone testosterone. Testosterone is essential for physical, mental, and emotional health in men. When levels are low, men can experience concerning symptoms that impact quality of life.
Men with low T may notice decreased energy and fatigue, low libido, erectile dysfunction, loss of muscle mass, weight gain, depression, and mood changes. The symptoms tend to be gradual in onset and can significantly disrupt daily living activities when severe.
There are several potential causes of testosterone deficiency including:
TRT is an effective treatment for low T that can help men regain optimal testosterone levels. When appropriately administered and monitored, TRT offers a variety of benefits:
Because low T symptoms can vary and overlap with other conditions, accurate diagnosis is important prior to starting treatment.
A physician will take a full medical history and ask about symptoms of low T. A physical exam will also be done to check for signs of T deficiency.
Blood tests are required to measure current testosterone levels. Normal total testosterone levels generally range from 300 to 1000 ng/dL depending on age and other factors. Multiple early morning blood samples may be ordered since testosterone levels can fluctuate.
Testing may also assess related hormones impacted by low T including estradiol, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG).
If low T is diagnosed, Elite Hormone Therapy physicians will discuss TRT treatment options and develop an individualized plan based on the patient’s needs and goals.
