FAQs

Testosterone is a sex hormone that plays multiple important roles in the body, such as development of the penis and testes, deepening of the voice during puberty, appearance of facial and pubic hair starting at puberty, muscle size and strength, bone growth and strength, sex drive (libido), and sperm production [1].

Testosterone has several benefits such as increased muscle mass, improved bone density, enhanced libido, improved mood, and increased energy levels [2].

Symptoms of low testosterone include decreased sex drive, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, loss of muscle mass, decreased bone density, and mood changes [3].

The causes of low testosterone include aging, injury or infection to the testicles, chemotherapy or radiation treatment for cancer, chronic illness, obesity or extreme weight loss [4].

Low testosterone is diagnosed through a blood test that measures the amount of testosterone in your blood [5].

Treatment options for low testosterone include testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), lifestyle changes such as weight loss and exercise, and medication to treat underlying conditions [6].

Side effects of TRT include acne or oily skin, mild fluid retention, breast enlargement (gynecomastia), worsening sleep apnea, decreased testicular size and infertility.
