What is (Low-T) Male Hormone Deficiency?
Male hormone deficiency results when the testicles fail to produce normal t-levels. Effects of Low-T levels are: lack of energy, diminished libido, erectile problems, infertility, impaired masculinity, changes in body composition, reductions in body and facial hair, and osteoporosis. In addition to these complaints, hormone deficient men are known to experience bouts with anger, confusion, depression, and fatigue that are significantly higher than those reported by men with normal T-levels.
Diagnosis of (Low T) Male Hormone Deficiency
Before beginning low-t therapy, a physician must perform a complete medical and medication history exam on the patient, followed by a physical exam and directed laboratory evaluation. The medical history should include questions regarding developmental abnormalities at birth, the rate of virilization at the time of puberty and the current status of sexual function. We will also be looking for alterations in body composition, including increases in body fat and reduction in muscle mass.
