Low Testosterone
Low testosterone can cause fatigue, low mood, reduced libido and other symptoms. Diagnosis requires blood tests, and treatment is guided by symptoms and results.
Medically reviewed by Healthly Medical TeamSymptoms and causes
Symptoms can include low energy, reduced libido, mood changes and loss of muscle mass. Levels naturally decline with age, and other health factors can contribute.
Diagnosis and treatment
Diagnosis needs morning blood tests, usually repeated, alongside a clinical review. Testosterone therapy is only appropriate in specific, confirmed cases and requires monitoring.
Frequently asked questions
How is low testosterone diagnosed?
It requires blood tests (usually early morning and repeated) interpreted alongside your symptoms by a doctor. A single low result is not enough on its own.
