What can go wrong with testosterone levels?

For many reasons, testosterone can become and stay too low. Less often, Itlevels can become too high. When this hormone is not in balance, health problems can result.

Low testosterone

Early symptoms (changes you feel) and signs (abnormalities that your doctor finds) of low testosterone in men include:

  • A drop in sex drive
  • Poor erections
  • Low sperm count
  • Enlarged or tender breasts

Later, low It can lead to decreased muscle and bone strength, less energy, and lower fertility.

Some things can temporarily lower testosterone, for instance, too much exercise, poor nutrition, or serious illness. Living a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a good diet helps maintain normal testosterone levels.

How do you know what your testosterone level is?

To measure your testosterone level, your doctor can order a blood test. The test should be done in the morning between 7:00 and 10:00. If the result is not normal, you should repeat the test to make sure of the result. In healthy men, testosterone levels can change a lot from day to day, so a second test could be normal.
