Suggest Treatment For Low Testosterone Levels And Lack Of Libido

Need to find cause for low testosterone
Detailed Answer:
Good day,
Noted your concern.
Testosterone has minimal side effects like prostate enlargement, abnormal cholesterol profile, worsening snoring , elevated blood counts and fluid retention etc. However, these are rare ( except Prostate enlargement). The best way would be to start with skin application patches. The advantage is that, it is short acting and can be stopped if you experience undesired side effects. Injections stay in the body for longer time.
It is important to know why your testosterone level is low. I hope they did an LH test and Thyroid blood profile as well. Before starting testosterone treatment, we would like to get a baseline fasting sugar level, prostate levels ( PSA), Lipid profile and CBC.
Regards
Binu
