Don't Live With Low T
What causes low testosterone levels?
Low testosterone, or hypogonadism, can result from several factors. As men age, their testosterone levels naturally decline, which can lead to lower energy, reduced libido, and other symptoms. Conditions affecting the testes, such as injuries or infections, can also decrease testosterone production. Issues with the hypothalamus or pituitary gland, which regulate hormone levels, may contribute to low testosterone as well. Lifestyle factors like obesity, diabetes, excessive alcohol use, and high stress levels can also play a significant role.
Symptoms of low testosterone may include:
- Reduced libido or sexual desire
- Erectile dysfunction and fewer spontaneous erections
- Decreased energy levels
- Fatigue
- Mood changes such as depression or irritability
- Reduced muscle mass and strength
- Increased body fat
- Diminished bone density
- Difficulty concentrating
- Decline in overall well-being and quality of life
If you’re experiencing these symptoms, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider for evaluation and treatment options.
How common is testosterone deficiency?
Low testosterone is quite common among men, especially as they age. Some men begin to experience symptoms of low testosterone as early as their 30s. It is estimated that about 20% to 30% of men over the age of 60 experience low testosterone levels. The prevalence increases with age, affecting up to 50% of men in their 70s and 80s.
How is low testosterone diagnosed?
Low testosterone is diagnosed by evaluating symptoms and conducting blood tests. Dr. Itri offers a comprehensive approach to evaluating your candidacy for TRT by first assessing your medical history and symptoms. He then conducts blood tests to measure your testosterone levels, typically done in the morning when levels are highest. Based on the results and your overall health, Dr. Itri will determine if testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is appropriate for you. His personalized treatment plans are designed to address your specific needs, aiming to improve your energy, mood, and overall quality of life.
Dr. Itri and the team of Longevity Men's Health Clinic are dedicated to helping men embrace their healthiest, most fulfilling lifestyle at every age. Our TRT options get to the root causes of low testosterone levels and provide treatments tailored to your unique needs.
