Question 1

how common is low testosterone in men?

Accepted Answer

Depends upon age: As we age, we tend to produce less & less testosterone. So the frequency of low testosterone increases w/age. However, the number isn't as important as how you feel.

Likewise, my goal would be your clinical improvement, not just a number.
