Could low testosterone be contributing to your symptoms?
Symptoms such as low energy, reduced libido, poor concentration and changes in mood can have many possible causes.
A consultation and appropriate testing can help determine whether testosterone deficiency may be contributing and whether treatment is appropriate.
If investigations indicate testosterone deficiency and treatment is clinically appropriate, your clinician will explain the available management options, including testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), together with the potential benefits, risks and ongoing monitoring requirements.
Low testosterone can affect more than your energy
Testosterone levels naturally change with age, but some men experience symptoms that begin to affect everyday life.
You may be experiencing:
- Persistent tiredness or low energy
- Reduced motivation or drive
- Low mood
- Difficulty concentrating or “brain fog”
- Reduced libido
- Changes in sexual performance
- Reduced muscle strength or recovery
- Increased body fat or difficulty maintaining muscle mass
These symptoms can have many possible causes. A thorough medical assessment helps determine whether testosterone deficiency or another underlying condition may be contributing.

FAQs
Symptoms such as persistent fatigue, low libido, reduced motivation and difficulty concentrating can have many causes, including testosterone deficiency. A consultation and appropriate blood tests are needed to determine whether testosterone deficiency or another medical condition may be contributing.
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is not suitable for everyone. If investigations confirm testosterone deficiency, your clinician will discuss whether treatment may be appropriate for you, together with the potential benefits, risks and the ongoing monitoring required.
Treatment affects individuals differently. If testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is considered clinically appropriate, your clinician will explain what you may expect, how your progress will be monitored and when your treatment will be reviewed.
Not necessarily. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is often a long-term treatment because it replaces testosterone that your body is no longer producing in sufficient amounts. However, this isn’t the right approach for everyone.
Before treatment is recommended, your consultant will discuss the likely benefits, limitations and what ongoing treatment may involve. If TRT is started, your response will be reviewed regularly to ensure it continues to be appropriate for your individual circumstances. Should you decide to stop treatment in the future, your consultant will discuss the safest way to do so and support you through that process.
It can. Testosterone replacement therapy on its own may reduce or stop sperm production, which can affect fertility. If you are planning to have children now or in the future, it’s important to discuss this during your consultation before starting treatment. For some men, fertility-preserving treatment options may be appropriate. Your consultant will explain the available options and help you choose the approach that best fits your circumstances.
