Talk to your Dr.: Low testosterone occurs when a male's testicles do not produce enough of this hormone. Causes include trauma/infection of the testes, drugs (opioids), metabolic disorders, obesity/diabetes, endocrine disorders and many more. Talk to your Dr. There are blood tests, as well as imaging that can be done to check the health of the testes, as well as determine the underlying cause.
