Low Testosterone
What is Low Testosterone and Why Does it Matter?
Testosterone is a natural occurring hormone in the body. Low Testosterone (low T), also known as andropause, is a condition in which the body no longer makes the amount of testosterone it needs. A decrease in testosterone levels is to be expected as men age, and this can lead to a decrease in energy and libido, weight gain and mood changes.
Other factors can also contribute to low T, including chronic health issues such as diabetes or obesity, medications such as corticosteroids or trauma. Our comprehensive health assessment tests for low testosterone levels can be treated with customized, testosterone replacement therapy treatment plans.
