Questions to ask
Testosterone facts.
Can symptoms alone tell me if my testosterone is low?
Low energy and changes in sexual desire can have several causes. A clinician considers your symptoms, medical history and appropriate test results together.
Why might men need a repeat blood test?
Testosterone levels vary. Clinicians generally confirm a low result with a separate early-morning fasting blood test.
Can testosterone treatment affect fertility?
Testosterone treatment can reduce sperm production. Discuss your plans for children with your clinician before starting treatment.
When might testosterone be considered for women?
A clinician may consider it for some postmenopausal women with persistent low sexual desire that causes distress, following a full assessment.
