How to Treat Low Testosterone

Testosterone levels decrease as a man ages. Most of the time, decreased testosterone levels do not cause problems or require treatment; however, abnormally low levels or severe symptoms may need treatment. Before you attempt treatment, confirm with your doctor that testosterone treatment is right for you. Once confirmed, you can treat low testosterone with testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), which include gels, patches, or injections, or through lifestyle changes, like diet and exercise.
