Low Testosterone Levels

Low testosterone levels, or hypogonadism, occur when the body doesn't produce enough testosterone, a hormone important for various functions in both men and women. In men, low testosterone can lead to reduced energy, decreased libido, mood changes, and muscle loss. In women, it can affect sexual function and overall well-being. Causes can include age, hormonal disorders, chronic illnesses, or certain medications. Diagnosis typically involves blood tests, and treatment options may include lifestyle changes, hormone replacement therapy, or addressing underlying health issues. It’s essential to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management.
