LOW TESTOSTERONE (Low-T)
Low testosterone is a condition characterized by an underproduction of the male hormone testosterone.
• Testosterone is a sex hormone made in the testicles. It is often associated with males, although females can have small amounts
• In men, this hormone helps maintain and develop sexual features, bone density, adequate levels of red blood cells, muscle mass, sexual and reproductive function, and a sense of well being
• Testosterone level generally decreases with age, so older men tend to have more low testosterone levels – once a male reaches 30, testosterone levels slowly decrease by approximately 1% a year
• About 2 out of 10 men older than 60 years have low testosterone. This increases to 3 out of 10 men in their 70s to 80s
• The American Urology Association define low testosterone as less than 300nanograms(ng) of the hormone per deciliter (dl) of blood.
CAUSES

Some of the conditions that can lead to a low level of testosterone include:
• Diabetes
• Obesity
• Hormonal disorder
• Chronic medical conditions, especially liver or kidney disease
