Low levels of testosterone directly affect a man’s sex drive, ability to sleep, weight, energy level and mood. About 5 million American men have low testosterone.

In a addition to loss of sexual desire, some men with low testosterone have hot flashes, increased irritability, inability to concentrate, memory loss, sadness, withdrawal and depression. Men with severely low testosterone may lose body hair and muscle mass. They experience extraordinary weight gain and their bones may be more prone to fracture. Their testes may become smaller and softer. Testosterone is required in order to have and maintain an erection.
Low testosterone can cause erectile dysfunction. However, diseases of the nerves and blood vessels can also affect the penis and cause erectile dysfunction.
The level of testosterone in a male’s body changes throughout the day and is highest in the morning which is why healthy men have morning erections. If you are no longer experiencing morning erections, have softer erections or are unable to maintain an erection - you may have Low T and should get tested.

What causes Low T?
Causes Associated with Low Testosterone
Low levels of testosterone are linked with aging. As a man ages, his body makes less testosterone. A lower level of testosterone in older men is sometimes called “andropause.”
As we age, it is normal for men to have less interest in sex. However, it is abnormal for a man to have absolutely no interest in sex. This could be caused by significantly low levels of testosterone.
Damage to the cells of the testes can cause low testosterone. This kind of damage can be a result of
- Accidents
- Inflammation of the testicles
- Testicular cancer
- Radiation therapy or chemotherapy used
to treat testicular cancer
Certain genetic diseases cause low testosterone. Abnormalities in chromosomes, the genetic materials of the body, cause genetic diseases. For example, myotonic dystrophy causes testicular failure between the ages of 30 and 40.
It is normal for men to have less interest in sex as they get older. It is also normal for older men to have less spontaneous erections.
Diagnosis
Men with less sex drive, erectile dysfunction, reduced sperm count, decrease in muscle size or other signs of low testosterone should have a blood test to find out their testosterone level.
Normal testosterone levels are 300 to 1,200 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dl). Testosterone levels are usually highest early in the morning. Doctors often measure it at that time.
The doctor’s main concern is to find out if there is a disease causing low testosterone. If not, it may be an extreme case of low testosterone due to aging.
You can help your doctor in the diagnosis of Low T by providing a detailed and accurate medical history. To get your medical history, the doctor will ask about:
- Your past or present illnesses
- All prescription and nonprescription drugs you are taking
- Any sexual problems you are having
- Recent events that may have caused you stress
Many adult aging men with low testosterone report improved energy levels, increase in sex drive, weight loss and enhanced mood after a regimen of testosterone treatment. If your testosterone is low, replace it.
A low testosterone level may indictae a need for treatment. Testosterone replacement therapy has very few side effects, and the benefits can be enormous for a man suffering from low t.
If you have symptoms of low testosterone and your blood levels that confirm low t is causing your symptoms - you should consider testosterone replacement. Talking with a hormone replacement doctor who specializes in testosterone replacement is the best way to know if testosterone therapy is right for you.
