What is Low Testosterone

Testosterone is a hormone that is produced by the human body. It is primarily produced in the testicles in men. It stimulates sperm production and a man’s sex drive and also helps build muscle and bone mass. Testosterone production typically decreases as men age. Men can experience a range of symptoms if it decreases more than it should. Low T is diagnosed when levels fall below a normal range (300- 1000 ng/dL, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration). A blood test (called serum testosterone level) is used to determine your level of circulating testosterone.

A range of symptoms can occur if testosterone production drastically drops. Signs of low T (also called hypogonadism) are often subtle and can be mistaken for a natural part of aging.

Symptoms of Low Testosterone

  • Low Sex Drive
  • Difficulty Achieving Erection
  • Low Semen Volume
  • Hair Loss
  • Fatigue & Lack of Energy

(Other health problems can influence erectile function, so it is important to determine whether low T is causing this symptom. It is always very important to consult your primary care physician, If you currently do not have a PCP we will be happy to refer you to someone.)
