Testosterone is an essential hormone for men's health and vitality. When levels are low, men may experience symptoms like low energy, reduced muscle mass, weight gain, emotional changes, and reduced interest in sex. Low testosterone, also called hypogonadism or low T, becomes more common as men age but can affect younger men too.
Getting tested and pursuing treatment through a qualified clinic can help men regain strength, vigor, and quality of life. This article will cover the basics of low testosterone, its symptoms, testing options, and detail treatment choices like testosterone shots available through The Balance - Hormone Medical Clinic in Farmington.
Testosterone production starts declining for most men around age 30, dropping 1-2% per year. Contributing factors include:
Low T develops when the body cannot produce normal testosterone levels to support key male functions. Proper testing and treatment can help reverse deficiencies.
Since testosterone affects many physiological processes, low levels manifest in various ways. Symptoms may develop slowly over years and are often chalked up to normal aging. Talk to a doctor if experiencing:
Addressing decreased testosterone through treatment can reverse or reduce these symptoms in many men.
Living with deficient testosterone not only affects your daily health and vitality, it puts men at increased risk for serious medical conditions, including:
Research shows men with the lowest testosterone die about 40% sooner than those with normal levels, even after adjusting for chronic illnesses.
By diagnosing the issue through testing and pursuing effective treatment, men can restore hormones, regain strength and vigor, boost intimacy, and add healthy years to their lives. The Balance - Hormone Medical Clinic provides accessible and proven solutions to reverse low T's effects.
Testosterone helps stimulate red blood cell production. Studies show that men undergoing testosterone replacement therapy for low testosterone had significant increases in hemoglobin levels and red blood cell counts within the first 3 months of starting treatment. This can help improve oxygen delivery throughout the body.
