Let’s talk Men’s Health and Testosterone
If you have ever wondered if you have low testosterone, you are not alone. Many men suffer from low testosterone consider increases in diabetes, hypertension and other chronic illnesses that affect testosterone production.
Symptoms include decreased libido, low energy, depressed mood, lack of motivation and loss of physical strength.
Now this can be caused by many things, not just testosterone, but if you think it may be the case you should talk to your primary care.
If you get tested, you should get your levels checked between the hours of 8am and 10am. This is because men’s testosterone levels peak between the hours of 4-5am and drop through the day.
Your primary care provider will need 2 values drawn on different days to diagnose low testosterone. If you think you may have symptoms, talk to your primary care provider to see if may be appropriate for you.
