Testosterone, a.k.a. “the male sex hormone,” is the key to masculinity and sexual vitality. Testosterone levels decrease naturally as men age, usually beginning around age 35. Decreasing levels of testosterone can result in a loss of sexual desire and the ability to perform may become impaired along with several other symptoms. More and more, men are looking to Testosterone Replacement Therapy to help get their testosterone back to normal levels.
 

Common symptoms of Low Testosterone include:

Of all men with Low Testosterone, about one-half to two-thirds report symptoms. Even then this condition is often undiagnosed and goes untreated because the symptoms of Low Testosterone are similar to those caused by other serious medical conditions. In fact, research indicates that men who have Low Testosterone are at higher risk of having or developing diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, asthma or COPD.

Let’s Be Sure

A simple blood test can detect Low Testosterone. Low testosterone is defined as less than 397 nanograms per deciliter of blood. Low Testosterone is also closely related to obesity. While many men believe obesity means weighing more than 300 pounds, most medical definitions use the Body Mass Index (BMI) as a guide. BMI is calculated using height and weight. If your BMI is 30 or higher, you are considered obese.

By age 35, it is common for men to experience a decrease in testosterone at a gradual rate of 1% – 2% each year without the appearance of symptoms. However, if you are experiencing a loss of sex drive, an inability to perform, or any of the symptoms listed above, it could be related to a Testosterone Defiency.
