Primary Hypogonadism
This refers to testicular failure to produce adequate testosterone due to genetic abnormalities, infection, trauma, or other damage.
Testosterone is an important hormone that regulates many bodily functions and plays a key role in male health and vitality. Testosterone deficiency can occur due to age, injury, or other medical conditions, leading to undesirable symptoms. Timely diagnosis and treatment are crucial.
Low testosterone levels can manifest in various ways. Common symptoms include:
If these symptoms persist, a blood test can confirm if testosterone levels are below normal.
There are several potential causes of low testosterone:
This refers to testicular failure to produce adequate testosterone due to genetic abnormalities, infection, trauma, or other damage.
Here the testes are healthy, but the pituitary gland fails to stimulate natural testosterone production. Causes can include tumors, inflammation, or head trauma.
If blood tests confirm hypogonadism (clinically low testosterone), treatment can provide immense benefits. Therapies aim to restore testosterone levels and relieve symptoms.
TRT involves direct testosterone administration to return levels to a healthy range. Delivery methods include injections, gels, patches and pellets implanted under the skin.
Improving nutrition, exercise, sleep and stress can aid natural testosterone production and TRT results. Some supplements may also help support healthy testosterone levels.
Patients on TRT require periodic blood testing to ensure testosterone levels are optimized and side effects monitored. Dose adjustments are often needed to balance efficacy and safety.
Testosterone treatment in postmenopausal women is shown to improve mood and cognitive function. A clinical study found that testosterone administration in women led to enhanced verbal learning and memory, suggesting testosterone plays a protective role in brain health independent of sex.
