Low testosterone, often referred to as “Low T” or hypogonadism, is a medical condition in which the body doesn’t produce enough testosterone, a crucial hormone for maintaining male physical and mental health. Testosterone levels naturally decline with age, but sometimes, they can decrease to a point where it may cause symptoms and health issues.
Clinically low testosterone refers to a specific range of testosterone levels in the blood, which is considered below the normal threshold for a given age. These levels are determined through blood tests and are used by healthcare professionals to diagnose and treat hypogonadism. If levels are below what’s considered normal for the patient's age, treatment options such as Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) are recommended. TRT is a medical treatment that can effectively manage and treat symptoms associated with low testosterone.
