What Are The Treatments For Low Testosterone Level?
My boyfriend went to his GP and was told he has a low testesterone level, they gave him some creams but they didnt seem to help much, so they recommended he see a Endocronologist.
What questions should he ask while there to make sure to get as much information as possible and also what are the treatments that can be given for low testesterone level??

Hi,
Welcome to HCM. I have gone through your question and understand your concern.
Please let me know the testosterone values.
This blood tests are to to be taken in the morning - before 11 am. If it was not taken properly, you have to repeat the tests. An evening testosterone can be low in a normal person.
In my practice I do other hormonal tests like LH, FSH, prolactin and thyroid function tests in patients with low testosterone to find out the cause. Treatment depends on the cause.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help
With warm regards,
Dr Ajish TP (MD,DM)
