Diagnosis typically involves blood tests to measure hormone levels, like testosterone, as well as exams to rule out problems with the pituitary or testes.
If hormone levels are low, treatment aims to replace them with approved testosterone products like gels, patches, injections or pellets. This helps restore levels, leading to improved symptoms. Ongoing monitoring is important.
