As men age, many of them experience a decline in their sexual and physical strength and stamina. This condition, which can significantly impact their quality of life, is medically recognized as low testosterone, or Hypogonadism.
In this article, we will take you through the causes of low T, what to look out for, and when to start your testosterone replacement journey to regain your full physical abilities and feel like your younger, more vital self.
Testosterone is a crucial aspect of male sexual development and one of the most important hormones in a man’s body. It is responsible for regulating a man’s libido, which is also known as sex drive, and it’s also necessary for producing sperm (spermatogenesis) and red blood cells. It is in charge of bone mass and helps with the distribution of fat in the body.
Usually, T levels are highest in the early hours of the day and start to decline as the day goes by. However, some people find that their testosterone levels decrease with age and do not recover. At that point, it’s time to seek outside help.
Low testosterone, or Hypogonadism, is a condition that is pervasive in men. It occurs when the testicles are not able to provide enough of this hormone to help men function properly, leading to erectile dysfunction, decreased physical strength, depression, and more.
According to the research carried out by the American Urology Association, low T in adults is considered to be anything lower than 250-300 nanograms per deciliter.
Men may experience physical and emotional changes when their testosterone levels drop. It is a condition that can affect both young and old people, but it is more common in middle-aged and elderly men. As men get older, the amount of testosterone produced gradually declines by around 2% a year.
Research data from the Urology Association revealed that at least 2.1%, or 2 in every 100 men, might be suffering from low testosterone. The data also shows that while only 1% of young men may be suffering from this condition, about 50% of 80-year-olds also battle with low T.
Different research has found that at least 30% of men suffering from obesity might also suffer from low testosterone, and around 24.5% of men with diabetes experience low T. Although we cannot be completely sure of how common low testosterone is among men, this data can help the general public understand how prevalent low testosterone really is.
There are different ways for you to evaluate where your testosterone levels may be. Some of these symptoms are more specific than others. If you see a doctor regarding your hormones, they’ll ask various questions to determine the actual cause of your condition.
Below are the most common symptoms of low T:
The less specific symptoms may include:
If you’re experiencing any one or two of these symptoms, you may not necessarily have low testosterone. However, experiencing many of them can be a warning sign. You’ll need to consult with a doctor or a medical professional for a proper diagnosis.
Many different factors can cause low T. While some individuals are born with low testosterone, others can later develop testosterone deficiency. A few popular causes of low T include:
However, low T can also affect people who have HIV/AIDS, obesity, chronic medical conditions (particularly ones affecting the kidneys), and Type 2 diabetes.
Testosterone replacement therapy, or TRT, is a form of medication done to help boost testosterone levels back to their normal range. These therapies come in different forms.
Although there are other ways to increase testosterone levels, TRT is one of the most common ways to go about it.
Your medical professional will be able to help you determine if TRT is right for you. If your drop in testosterone levels is because of aging, then you might not have to start a TRT program. A doctor can ensure that the causes of your testosterone deficiency aren’t because of other ailments before taking you on the TRT journey.
If you are experiencing multiple symptoms of low testosterone, you’re more likely to be eligible for TRT. It may also be prescribed if your blood test results indicate that there’s a deficiency needing treatment.
There are several methods and ways you could get a TRT done, including:
Testosterone replacement therapy is very effective for people suffering from low testosterone, however, its effectiveness varies for each individual. Many men have had positive responses as to how their sexual behavior has improved over a period of 3-6 weeks, helping to further confirm how beneficial TRT can be.
Low testosterone is a complicated condition, and people dealing with this condition often feel a wide range of emotions. They might feel less confident in their appearance and sexual life or battle with symptoms of depression and anxiety. It’s normal to feel this way, but you don’t have to stay stuck in these low moments.
Remember, never self-diagnose. Instead, reach out to a medical professional and let them know your symptoms so they can help you curate the best treatment plan that fits your situation. Your doctor will work with you to determine the best form of TRT for you. Get started today by booking an appointment to learn more.
