Low T: Causes & Symptoms

Testosterone levels can drop somewhat as you age, but significant and/or premature decrease can be the result of common medical problems (obesity, diabetes, sleep apnea, and others) or other rare medical conditions. The lack of testosterone can have harmful effects on your cardiovascular system, bone health, mental health, etc. The evaluation you will receive at Men’s Health Virginia will screen for all of these factors and may pick up important, even life-threatening health issues (cancers, etc.) that you didn’t know you had.

Low T should NOT be treated unless men have low levels of testosterone AND symptoms:

• Reduced energy/endurance
• Lower physical performance
• Poor memory/concentration
• Reduced sex drive/motivation
• Depression
