Brief Answer:
First,measure testosterone level in blood.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.

First of all, testosterone concentrations in the blood need to be measured in the morning preferably before 9 am.

And if the level comes low then clomid tablet (Clomiphene Citrate) can be prescribed by physician or endocrinologist to increase the level. Hormone replacement therapy with testosterone is also there but the important thing is to diagnose the underlying cause.

Quit alcohol or smoking if you do,

Take high protein diet with more milk and take green vegetables, fruits and dry fruits.

Take some vitamins and go for regular exercise like running, swimming and jogging which will also be helpful.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Dr.Sandip

Answered by Dr. Sandip Kabra (32 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
Free Testosterone by Equilibrium Dialysis.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome again,

A test called Free Testosterone needs to be done by a specific method called Equilibrium Dialysis. Free testosterone measured in the blood by any other method is not very reliable.

If Free testosterone test by equilibrium dialysis is not available in your area, a test called SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin) can be used to indirectly estimate the Free Testosterone with fair reliability.

You may also need some preliminary tests like CBC,CMP, TSH,Free T4, SHBG, FSH, LH, Prolactin in addition to a thorough physical examination including that of your genitals.

You can book an appointment with physician or endocrinologist who will know about it.

Regards,

Dr.Sandip Kabra
