Causes of Low T

It is natural for testosterone levels to gradually decline in the aging male. However, it is not natural for the levels to fall below a certain level.

Why levels fall too low

A natural, gradual decline is expected with age — but when levels drop below a healthy range, there is often an underlying cause worth understanding with a provider.

The good news: Low T can be evaluated, and for qualifying patients it can be treated. Understanding the cause is the first step toward a plan that's right for you.

Causes of Low Testosterone in Men

  • 1 Low T can happen when the brain and the testes have trouble communicating, causing a drop in the amount of testosterone being produced.
  • 2 The brain could also feel there is too much testosterone in the body and signal the testes to stop the production of testosterone.
  • 3 Low testosterone levels may also be due to hypogonadism — a condition in which the body does not produce enough testosterone. Some men are born with it, while some develop it later in life.

Low T isn't just aging — it can be evaluated and treated.
