Men who suffer from testosterone deficiency may experience a range of symptoms, including low energy, reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, difficulty building muscle and losing fat, lack of motivation for exercise, trouble with concentration and focus, mood disturbances, and occasional hot flashes and night sweats. Testosterone deficiency has also been shown to affect bone density and blood sugar regulation negatively.
As a result, many men are now seeking evaluation and treatment for low testosterone. Dr. Parviz Kavoussi was recently interviewed on KVUE News to discuss the importance of proper assessment and treatment. He stated, “Testosterone deficiency can significantly impact both symptoms and overall health, and it is important to be treated for those reasons. However, it is also important to be treated in a fertility-preserving manner in men who wish to maintain fertility, rather than being treated with traditional testosterone replacement therapy options, which tend to suppress sperm production.”
Men who want to address testosterone deficiency while preserving their fertility should consult a reproductive urologist, such as Dr. Kavoussi.
