Hypogonadism or Low Testosterone
According to the Mayo Clinic "Male hypogonadism is a condition in which the body doesn't produce enough testosterone — the hormone that plays a key role in masculine growth and development during puberty — or has an impaired ability to produce sperm or both."
​
Some symptoms may include:
​
-
Erectile dysfunction
-
Infertility
-
Decrease in beard and body hair growth
-
Decrease in muscle mass
-
Development of breast tissue
-
Loss of bone mass (osteoporosis)
​
If you have any of these symptoms or have a family history of hypogonadism, your healthcare provider can help.
