Low Testosterone Q & A

Customized Treatment Plans for Men with Low-T

Our urologists make it a point to thoroughly understand the root cause of your low testosterone, and then develop a treatment plan customized to your unique symptoms and lifestyle needs. In order to do this, we may first perform a physical exam and run blood tests to accurately determine if you are suffering from low T. We will test the following and analyze the results:

  • Total testosterone level
  • Luteinizing hormone
  • Blood prolactin level
  • Blood hemoglobin
