Blood level lab test: A blood level can be taken and if you are lower than you should be, supplements can be taken - there's a trans-dermal patch. It's safe but not if you have high prostate cancer risk. Symptoms of being low can include: general fatigue, weakness, hair loss, intolerance to pain, depression. Good luck!

Many. : The symptoms of low testosterone are depression, weight gain, muscle atrophy, osteopenia, low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, and more. But, these are not specific to low t and blood tests need to be done for confirmation. Eating more meat, sleeping more, losing weight, thyroid, testosterone, hcg, or Clomiphene could be used for treatment, depending on the cause.

LOW T EVAL: Low T Evaluation and diagnosis of cause is critical. At 27 it is unusal and needs a through workup exam/labs/testiciular US/ and potentially a brain MRI. You will need regular Monitering of testosterone and PSA levels . Follow up with a through PCP and endocrine consult. Low T can cause symptoms of male menopause =ANDROPAUSE.
