Low Testosterone (Low T) – Understanding the Root of Hormonal Imbalance
Low testosterone – also known as Low T or testosterone deficiency – is a common condition that affects millions of men, often beginning as early as their 30s or 40s. While it’s a natural part of aging, many men experience symptoms that interfere with daily life, energy, and confidence. At Vance Medical in Meridian, we take a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating low testosterone so you can feel like yourself again.
WHAT IS LOW TESTOSTERONE?
Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone responsible for a wide range of functions in the body, including muscle mass, fat distribution, sex drive, mood, and bone health. When testosterone levels drop below the optimal range, men can experience both physical and emotional symptoms, sometimes without realizing what’s causing them.
COMMON SYMPTOMS OF LOW T
Do you feel like something is “off,” but can’t quite explain it? You may be dealing with low testosterone if you experience:
- Persistent fatigue or lack of motivation
- Low sex drive or erectile dysfunction
- Difficulty building or maintaining muscle
- Increased belly fat or weight gain
- Mood swings, depression, or irritability
- Poor focus or memory issues
- Decreased endurance and recovery
Even mild testosterone deficiency can have a significant impact on your overall health and quality of life.
WHAT CAUSES LOW TESTOSTERONE?
While aging is the most common factor, other causes of testosterone deficiency include:
- Chronic stress or poor sleep
- Poor diet and lack of exercise
- Certain medications or medical conditions
- Injury or trauma to the testicles
- Hormonal imbalances or genetic factors
At Vance Medical, we conduct in-depth testing to uncover the root cause and create a plan for safe, effective treatment.
