What is Low T,  and How Does It Affect Me?

Potential causes and symptoms of Low Testosterone
What causes low testosterone?

Low Testosterone (or Low T) is the absence or deficiency of testosterone in the male body. Testosterone is the key element in male functions; including hair growth, achieving erections and sexual performance.

During puberty, testosterone helps build a man’s muscles, deepens his voice, and boosts the size of his penis and testes. In adulthood, it keeps a man’s muscles and bones strong and maintains his interest in sex. In short, it’s what makes a man a man (at least physically).

While many chalk a loss in sex drive to aging, this is often a misconception.  Drastic decline in sexual interest may be caused by Low Testosterone, and should be properly diagnosed before treating. Men must review the warning signs to make sure they
apply.

  1. Thank goodness nobody in this house suffers from Low T, though I would imagine many in the world probably do. Lots of great information here. Was there someone in your family who suffered from it too?

    • Thankfully, no one I know suffers from LT (thus far). It was a question posed to me, and I felt it was a great time to answer. Thanks so much for reading!
