Talk to your doctor

Because Low T signs and symptoms may not be clear and apparent, they may seem to be a normal part of aging or assumed to be caused by other health conditions. But talk to your doctor if you have symptoms of Low T. And ask to get tested. All it takes is a simple blood test that can be done during a routine checkup. If you do have Low T, your doctor may recommend AndroGel, a daily treatment that can help keep testosterone at normal levels and improve symptoms.

If you have diabetes, you should ask your doctor for a Low T test. The Endocrine Society recommends that all men with type 2 diabetes have their testosterone levels checked. Patients who have been diagnosed with diabetes have an increased chance of also having Low T.

Doctor Discussion Guide

Doctor visits can go faster than planned, and the list of questions you had in your head before the appointment might not have gotten addressed. That's why we've created a helpful Doctor Discussion Guide. Just print it out and bring it with you on your next visit. Then you don't have to worry about remembering the questions.

Are the symptoms I am experiencing and my other risk factors related to Low T? (Feel free to discuss your results from the Low T Symptoms Quiz and McKinlay Screener.)
Can you order the blood test that measures my total testosterone and the free testosterone in my body?
What medical treatment options are available if I have Low T?
What is the difference between the different testosterone replacement therapies?
How is AndroGel different from other options?
Is AndroGel right for me?
Are there any other changes I can make in my diet, fitness and lifestyle to help address Low T?

Be sure your doctor is aware of any prescription medications, over-the-counter medications or vitamin supplements you may be taking.
