Testosterone is an essential hormone that plays a critical role in men's health and wellbeing. As men age, their bodies produce less testosterone, leading to a condition called testosterone deficiency or hypogonadism. The symptoms can significantly impair quality of life.

Testing sometimes reveals borderline low or midrange levels falling in a diagnostic grey area. In those complex cases, an expert hormone physician can still determine whether TRT is medically appropriate and advisable to relieve deficiency symptoms.
