A member asked:

What can a 21 year old do about low testosterone. already have low bone density. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

More tests first: I would suggest getting FSH, LH, and Prolactin blood tests first to try to elucidate reason for low T to see what the best treatment would be for you. However at your age testosterone supplements should not be given if you are considering having children because they can irreversibly depress spermatogenesis.
