What is Low Testosterone?

Low testosterone, or male hypogonadism, is a condition in which the body doesn’t produce enough testosterone — the hormone that plays a key role in masculine development and ongoing health.
Testosterone is the hormone that contributes to male sexual arousal, erection and ejaculation and is produced primarily in the testicles. Low levels of testosterone can be a cause of erectile dysfunction. Testosterone contributes to red blood cell production, muscle mass and bone strength. It is a factor in mood, clarity of thought and concentration.

Causes Of Low Testosterone

Aging is the primary cause for low testosterone. Testosterone levels naturally decline by 1% a year beginning in a man’s thirties. Beyond age, some of the factors that can lead to a low level are:
  • Obesity
  • Alcohol/Opioid abuse
  • Hormonal disorders
  • Chemotherapy or radiation treatment
  • High cholesterol or high blood pressure
  • Injury or infection to the testicles
  • Diabetes or HIV
  • Chronic medical conditions (especially liver or kidney disease)
  • Medications, including opioids, hormones used to treat prostate cancer, and steroids (such as prednisone

Lifestyle Impacts

Testosterone levels can be affected by health conditions and lifestyle choices. Making changes in your overall health can contribute to an increase in testosterone. These are factors in testosterone production and overall health:
  • Eliminate tobacco
  • Maintain a healthy weight
  • Exercise regularly
  • Decrease alcohol consumption
  • Get treatment for any substance abuse

Diagnosis

A blood test will determine whether a patient has a testosterone deficiency. Testosterone levels vary throughout the day. Testing is typically done in the morning when testosterone levels are highest.

The doctor will review your symptoms, medical history and medications. Other tests to determine the impact of your condition may be necessary, such as a bone density test to check for osteoporosis or a blood count for iron-deficiency.

Treatment For Low Testosterone

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is the treatment offered for testosterone deficiency.

Testosterone replacement therapy can be administered through skin absorption (transdermal or topical) or by direct subcutaneous injection into muscle tissue or under the skin, with all available forms effectively improving testosterone levels.
