Low Testosterone Q&A
What causes low testosterone?
Testosterone levels in men naturally decline by about 2% each year after the age of 30. However, certain health conditions can also lead to low testosterone, a condition known as hypogonadism. Hypogonadism occurs when the testicles fail to produce adequate levels of testosterone. Common causes include:
- Mumps
- Testicular injuries
- Elevated iron levels in the blood
- Pituitary gland disorders
- Metabolic conditions
- Cancer treatments
- Autoimmune diseases
Being overweight can also significantly increase the risk of low testosterone, with every one-point increase in BMI associated with a 2% decline in testosterone levels.
What are the symptoms of low testosterone?
As testosterone levels drop, men may experience various symptoms, including:
- Reduced sex drive (low libido)
- Erectile dysfunction
- Loss of body and facial hair
- Decreased muscle mass and strength
- Weight gain
- Memory issues
- Difficulty concentrating
- Fatigue
Low libido is a common symptom of low testosterone but can also result from other factors, such as stress, medications, or relationship challenges. The team at InfiniHealth Medical Group provides comprehensive evaluations to identify the root cause and restore sexual health.

How is low testosterone treated?
At InfiniHealth Medical Group, specialists use advanced diagnostic tools, including in-house hormonal axis assessments and high-definition imaging, to evaluate testosterone levels. Treatment options typically include:
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) Bioidentical hormones are derived from plant-based sterols and chemically match natural hormones. Treatment is customized to deliver the exact dose of testosterone required to restore balance. BHRT is available in various forms, including:
- Pellets: Implanted under the skin, these pellets release testosterone gradually over several months.
- Injectables: Regular testosterone injections administered by your provider.
- Topical gels: Applied directly to the skin for daily testosterone supplementation.
- Oral medications: Pills designed to support testosterone levels.
Surgical Solutions If low testosterone is linked to physical conditions such as varicoceles, minimally invasive surgical procedures may be performed to correct the issue.
Lifestyle Modifications Non-medical therapies such as tailored diet plans, exercise routines, and stress management techniques can also support testosterone levels and overall well-being.
Providers at InfiniHealth Medical Group monitor your treatment closely to ensure optimal results and adjust as needed.
