About Testosterone Deficiency

Testosterone deficiency (hypogonadism) occurs when the body doesn't produce enough testosterone. It can affect both men and women, though symptoms and normal ranges differ.

Common Causes:

• Age-related decline (especially after 40 in men)
• Testicular or ovarian disorders
• Pituitary gland problems
• Chronic illnesses (diabetes, obesity, HIV/AIDS)
• Certain medications or treatments (chemotherapy, radiation)

Diagnosis:

Requires blood tests (typically done in the morning when levels are highest) and clinical evaluation of symptoms. Multiple tests may be needed as levels fluctuate.

Treatment Options:

• Testosterone replacement therapy (gels, injections, patches)
• Lifestyle changes (exercise, weight loss, stress reduction)
• Treatment of underlying conditions
