Low testosterone can cause obesity?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: Many things lead to obesity, but testosterone is not by any means the main culprit. However, having said that, a obesity in the setting of low testosterone can be improved by normalizing tesosterone levels and obese men tend to have lower testosterone levels because they convert more t to Estrogens in the excess body fat.
