Testosterone deficiency, also known as hypogonadism, occurs when the body does not produce enough testosterone. This hormone is essential for male health and plays a crucial role in vital bodily functions.
Symptoms of low testosterone may include:
- Reduced sex drive and erectile dysfunction
- Loss of muscle mass and strength
- Increased body fat and reduced bone density
- Mood changes like depression or irritability
- Difficulties with concentration and memory
- Fatigue and low energy levels
Causes behind testosterone deficiency can include:
- A problem with the testes due to injury, infection, or congenital defects
- Issues with the pituitary gland or hypothalamus in the brain
- Medications, chronic illness, liver or kidney disease
- Obesity and sleep apnea
If you're experiencing any persistent symptoms of low
T, it's important to have your levels checked by a doctor. A simple
blood test can determine if treatment is needed.
Treatment options for low testosterone include lifestyle modifications like
weight loss, exercise and stress reduction. However, most men benefit greatly from
testosterone therapy, which can be administered as
injections, gels, patches or pellets. It typically leads to improved energy, sex drive, body composition and quality of life.
