🌟 Why Low Testosterone Matters

Testosterone is a key hormone for men, affecting energy, mood, muscle strength, sexual health, and bone density. When levels drop too low, it can impact daily life in more ways than most realize. The good news? Low testosterone, also called male hypogonadism, is common and very treatable.

At Wellness Bay Primary Care, we can evaluate your symptoms, check testosterone levels, and provide safe, personalized testosterone replacement therapy (TRT)—including prescriptions and in-office administration if needed.

🔎 Causes of Low Testosterone

Low testosterone may be caused by:

⏳ Aging (levels naturally decline after age 30)
🧬 Genetic or testicular conditions
🩺 Chronic illnesses (diabetes, obesity, sleep apnea)
💊 Certain medications (opioids, steroids)
🧠 Pituitary gland disorders
🚬 Lifestyle factors (poor diet, inactivity, alcohol, smoking)

🚨 Symptoms of Low Testosterone

Men with hypogonadism may experience:

😴 Fatigue and low energy
💪 Decreased muscle mass & strength
⚖️ Weight gain, especially around the belly
❤️ Low libido and erectile difficulties
😔 Mood changes, depression, or irritability
🦴 Thinning bones (osteoporosis risk)
🧠 Difficulty with focus and memory

⚠️ Risks of Untreated Hypogonadism

Without treatment, low testosterone can lead to:

Increased risk of heart disease and metabolic syndrome
Loss of muscle and bone strength
Ongoing mood changes and fatigue
Sexual dysfunction and relationship stress
Decreased quality of life

🧬 Pathophysiology – What’s Happening Inside by Internist Family Physician PCP Georgetown TX

In hypogonadism, the testes don’t produce enough testosterone. This may be due to:

Primary hypogonadism (problem in the testes)
Secondary hypogonadism (problem in the brain’s hormone signaling)

Either way, the result is low circulating testosterone, which impacts muscles, bones, mood, and reproductive function.

🌱 Lifestyle Tips That Can Help

Even before starting treatment, men can support testosterone levels by:

🥩 Eating a balanced, protein-rich diet
🏋️ Regular exercise (especially resistance training)
💤 Getting quality sleep (7–8 hours)
⚖️ Maintaining a healthy weight
🚭 Avoiding smoking and limiting alcohol
🧘 Managing stress through relaxation or meditation
