A man can have low testosterone because his body produces less of the substance than before due to aging, low thyroid function, or some medical conditions. Just as women go through menopause, men can experience andropause, which is the medical term for low levels of testosterone. Other terms for this condition include late-onset male hypogonadism, testosterone deficiency syndrome, and androgen deficiency of the aging male.
Testosterone levels tend to peak in the late teens. At around age 20, a man’s body usually will make about one to two percent less testosterone every year, according to Merck Manuals. After enough years pass, the testosterone levels become low enough to cause symptoms. When these signs become significant, the man is in male menopause or andropause.

Signs of Low Testosterone
When a man has low testosterone, also called low-T, he can experience many diverse symptoms, including:
- Putting on more abdominal fat, despite diet and exercise
- Decreased levels of energy
- Slower processing and thinking time
- Anemia, or low blood cell count
- Decreased muscle mass
- Osteoporosis, where his bones become brittle, increasing his risk of fractures
- Decreased libido
- Feeling sad, irritable, or depressed
- Erectile dysfunction
- An increased risk of coronary artery disease
Low-T is different in every patient. It is best to have a medical assessment if you have indications of low-T. At HealthGAINS, our patients work with medical professionals throughout the treatment process.
How to Treat Low Testosterone
There are advertisements all over television about products that claim to boost the amount of testosterone in men without a prescription. When you use an over-the-counter substance, you probably did not have laboratory tests done to determine your current levels of testosterone. As a result, you do not know the correct dose to treat your low testosterone.
Think about that fact for a moment. Consider whether you want to roll the dice with your health by taking a substance without knowing the right dose for you and without medical supervision.
The best way to treat low testosterone is to work with a medical team at a reputable facility. At HealthGAINS, our patients undergo lab tests to verify whether their hormones are low and to determine how little testosterone they already have. From that information and other details we gather about your medical status, we calculate the safest and most effective dose to treat your low-T.
Our hormone therapy programs take place under constant medical supervision. We can adjust your dose as needed.
