What Causes Excessive Body Weight When Suffering From Low Testosterone Level?
my 20 year-old son just had a low testosterone level result on a blood test and his first consultation with a specialist (urologist) showed no visible reasons...he is overweight but he is an athlete and still carries too much upper body fat. He has ADHD and has been taking Concerta and ritalin since age 5. i was googling this question and got to you...is there a potential relationship ? and what should he do to loose weight and stop worrying about the low T level?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the given information are complete irrelevant with each other like the testosterone test, ADHD, obesity, testosterone has nothing to do with any of condition given here and in absence of concern symptoms it is useless, if the main concern is weight gain then it can be controlled with reducing the calorie and diet and doing exercise, stress would be the cause of weight gain hope this information helps.
