Low testosterone is a condition in which the body doesn't make enough testosterone, the main male sex hormone. Testosterone is produced mainly in the testicles, and it drives sex drive, sperm production, muscle and bone strength, and the deepening of the voice during puberty. Levels naturally decline with age, and they can fall low enough to cause symptoms.
The symptoms of low testosterone affect energy, mood, and sexual function. Common signs include:
Because these signs overlap with many other conditions, a blood test is the only way to confirm whether testosterone is actually the cause.
Low testosterone has a range of causes, from natural aging to specific medical conditions. It can result from:
Can lifestyle habits lower testosterone?
Chronic sleep deprivation, heavy alcohol use, high stress, and a sedentary lifestyle can all lower testosterone over time, even without an underlying medical condition. These factors often add to the effects of aging or an existing health issue. Addressing them can support whatever treatment a provider recommends.
Low testosterone is diagnosed with a blood test that measures the amount of testosterone in the blood. Because levels are highest in the morning and shift through the day, the sample is usually drawn in the early morning. A provider confirms the result with a second early-morning test on a separate day before making a diagnosis and may also check other hormones, such as luteinizing hormone, to identify the underlying cause.
Treatment for low testosterone depends on its cause and whether it's producing symptoms. When levels are clinically low, a urologist or endocrinologist may prescribe testosterone replacement therapy, available as gels, patches, injections, or pellets.
Treating an underlying condition, such as managing weight or adjusting a medication, can also raise levels. Regular exercise, quality sleep, and a healthy weight support healthy testosterone too, and a provider can advise which approach fits your situation.
A urologist, endocrinologist, or primary care provider can check your testosterone level, identify the cause, and recommend a treatment plan suited to you. Find doctors for low testosterone treatment on Zocdoc, compare insurance coverage and appointment times, and book a visit online.
