You have low testosterone because..

There are several factors that can cause low testosterone, including:
1. Aging - Testosterone levels naturally decrease as men age.
2. Medical conditions - Certain medical conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and some genetic disorders can cause low testosterone.
3. Hormonal disorders - Problems with the pituitary gland or hypothalamus can cause low testosterone.
4. Medications - Certain medications such as opioids, glucocorticoids, and chemotherapy drugs can affect testosterone levels.
5. Lifestyle factors - Smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and a sedentary lifestyle can also contribute to low testosterone levels.
6. Testicular injury or infection - Injury to the testicles or infection can cause a decrease in testosterone production.
It is important to speak with a healthcare provider if you are experiencing symptoms of low testosterone to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

It involves a depressed mood or loss of pleasure or interest in activities for long periods of time. Depression is different from regular mood changes and feelings about everyday life.

Before ever starting testosterone I was functioning well. Eventually at 60, I felt myself slowing down, poor quality of sleep, lower energy, fuzzy thinking and minor but frustrating forgetfulness. I decided to start testosterone. I am back again. Best thing I ever did. I have probably added years to my life. But you have to be following a healthy lifestyle before and after you start testosterone therapy. And you must only take "replacement" levels.

[@limitisillusion7]

Any proof of these claims? It seems to me there could be a vicious cycle of sorts going on. Poor diet and a lack of exercise could cause low T, which could cause depression. Then depression causes you to make worse diet choices and exercise less. Then T drops more, ad infinitum. The question is... Do you want to find the root cause so that your body can ultimately produce testosterone naturally, or do you want to become dependent on injections? Keep in mind that low T may be just one side effect of poor diet and lack of sufficient exercise. You may have other biomarkers that become imbalanced as a result, and only fixing T levels could lead you into another less predictable vicious cycle. That's why putting all the blame on one biomarker may not be a good idea.

Testing for low t is a smart thing to do. A lot of people with low t are producing plenty but it gets transformed to estrogen. A lot of men could have good T levels by taking an aromatase inhibitor. You need a hormone doctor to treat that. DIM is a good otc option for men who have lower ranges of t but not medical hypogonadism.

Now, talk about how the normal range of testosterone keeps getting lower and lower. So many men now test low, the normal range has decreased substantially. Average testosterone level of your grandparents generation was around 800ngml. Now, if you're at 301ngml, you are considered within normal range regardless of your age. That's not even half of what your grandpa had in his 60-70s. There is a global low testosterone problem. Any endocrinologist would agree with me on that. I know, because I'm friends with a bunch of them already.

@@xijinping880 lil? Come say that to my face and I'll kick your fucking teeth in. I work in the medical field, and have a degree in biology. As a hobby, I'm a muay thai fighter. Worldwide testosterone levels are dropping and it isn't as simple as, good health equals high testosterone. If I had to guess, it is from the endocrine disrupters/mimickers in the micro plastics we eat. Which, is an entire credit card worth each week. If bad health meant low testosterone levels, we'd expect to see low levels in history during times of hardship when tested. Yet, that isn't the case. Meaning, something else is the cause. A lethargic life and bad nutrition isn't helping. But again, it isn't the main cause. That can account for small changes. But, we are seeing full 50% reductions in testosterone levels in men now compares to the 50s and 60s. What happened right after that? Microplastics started being added to everything possible.

In modern society, men have no need to hunt, gathering food is easy. Men in touch with nature have higher testosterone. Married men have lower testosterone than unmarried men, and recently divorced men see a spike in testosterone because the hunt is on for another woman. Married men with children have even lower testosterone than married men with no kids.
