When Do Men Lose Testosterone?

Nowadays, it seems like men are having more problems with low testosterone than ever before! Whether it's from stress, poor dietary habits, or simply aging faster than most of us would like, there’s no denying that a decline in testosterone has become an increasingly common problem.

Unfortunately, this isn't just a problem affecting older men. New studies have shown that men in their 20s and 30s are experiencing a decrease in testosterone. That's right - young adult men are already dealing with symptoms of low testosterone and seeking Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT).

Regardless of your age, if you believe you are experiencing low testosterone, it’s important to know what you can expect from treatment. While TRT might seem like an easy solution, there are a few steps you should take before relying on TRT as your only option. After all, TRT is a hormone replacement therapy, and hormones can be tricky!

Get Tested

First, it's crucial to get tested for low testosterone levels. There are labs across the world that specialize in tests that can evaluate your testosterone level and provide you with a diagnosis. This will ensure that TRT is the best course of action for your particular situation.

Speak to Your Doctor

Once the lab results are in, your next step should be to speak to your doctor about the best TRT options for you. There are a variety of TRT treatments available, so it's important to discuss the pros and cons of each option with your provider before making a decision.

Make Lifestyle Changes

Finally, even if TRT is recommended by your doctor, it should be paired with lifestyle changes. The following habits can improve your testosterone levels naturally:

  • eating healthier

  • exercising more

  • reducing stress

  • sleeping better

Although TRT is one potential solution for dealing with low testosterone levels, before jumping in headfirst, do your due diligence to ensure it is the right path for your health. By getting tested, speaking to your doctor and making lifestyle changes, you’ll be able to find a low testosterone treatment that works best for you!
