Low Testosterone

Personalized Care for Low-T

If you are gaining weight, feeling exhausted, depressed, and/or having problems sexually, you may be experiencing low testosterone (also called Low-T). A gradual drop in testosterone is a normal part of aging for men, sometimes referred to as "andropause" or "male menopause." Hormone levels begin decreasing as early as age 30 and can cause:

• Depression
• Sleeplessness
• Low sex drive
• Fatigue
• Weight gain
• Memory loss
• Loss of muscle tone

Testosterone levels vary according to body type, build, blood levels, and other pre-existing medical conditions. A blood test is used to detect your testosterone level. A normal range is from 300 to 1,000 ng/DL. If you have low blood levels of testosterone and symptoms that affect your daily life, you may be a candidate for treatment.
