Your body needs a certain amount of testosterone to function correctly. As you get older, however, your body will produce less and less of it. Most doctors like to see about 300 to 900 nanograms of testosterone, per deciliter. Lower levels are usually diagnosed as being low testosterone or Low T.

Low T symptoms can result in other health issues as well as problems with sexual activities. Certain medical conditions can also contribute to low testosterone. Normal levels help good sexual health. Research also indicates it plays a role in muscle development and bone density. If Low T levels are left untreated, it can affect a man’s health in many ways, not just their sexual activities. Several health complications can occur if you are not treated. Unlike the common cold or a strained muscle, rest and time will not help, and medical intervention is needed.

There are quite a few symptoms that could indicate low testosterone in a man. Knowing for sure is crucial for a safe, and successful treatment session, so get tested today by our doctors at American Male Medical.

Common signs of Low Testosterone include:

– Loss of sex drive
– Hair Loss
– Fatigue and decreased energy levels
– Weight Gain
– Erectile Dysfunction
– Irritable Male Syndrome
– Depression
– Memory Loss
– Muscle Loss

Your body often produces less hormones as it ages, including testosterone. In some men, lower testosterone does not cause any symptoms that impact their life. In other men, their health and sexual activity can be severely affected by Low T.

At our clinic, we only need to conduct a simple blood test for our doctors to confirm your low testosterone.
