Low testosterone symptoms? Many men know that low testosterone symptoms can occur as the man ages. Health-conscious women have learned of the importance of correcting low hormones and hormone imbalance when dealing with premenopause and menopause symptoms and diseases.
Therefore, if declining progesterone and estrogen hormones cause symptoms and diseases in women, isn't it likely and logical that declining testosterone levels can have health consequences for men?
Everyone knows that the male sex drive declines with age. However, more and more physicians and clinical studies are recognizing that declining testosterone in the man is related to other conditions formerly thought of as a normal part of "just getting old".
low testosterone symptoms are associated with:
• Low sex drive and impotence
• Fatigue
• Loss of lean muscle
• Fat accumulation
• Increased risk of osteoporosis
• Bone fractures
• Risk of cardiovascular disease |
What should normal testosterone levels be?
Normal blood serum testosterone levels of a 30 to 40 year old woman range from 15-100ml/dl and from 300-1200ml/dl for men.A frequent problem is this - the level that is good for one man can be too low for another man. If a man knows what his normal testosterone levels were in his 30's, that information is very helpful in determining testosterone treatment. If normal testosterone levels are not known for a man, treating low testosterone symptoms will likely begin at the low end of the range, and symptom improvements will be monitored by your doctor and you.
Before beginning testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), it's important to have a physical, medical history and blood testing including a PSA test to be sure prostate cancer cells are not present. Testosterone therapy requires that a physician be involved.
