Low-T

Low testosterone, or Low T, affects roughly 39% of men over the age of 45. Beginning at the age of 30 all men will experience a gradual decline in testosterone. Men who are obese or have diabetes, hypertension or COPD have a greater chance of being affected and diagnosed with Low T. Since Low T can share many of the same symptoms as other health conditions, it’s important to be screened so your physician can make a proper diagnosis.
