Why Every Man Should Check Their Testosterone: The Benefits of Knowing Your Hormone Levels

Why Testing for Low Testosterone is Essential for Men

How To Test Your Testosterone Levels

Low testosterone (Low T) is a common issue that can cause symptoms like fatigue, decreased muscle mass, low libido, mood swings, and other health concerns. Recognizing and treating Low T is essential for maintaining both physical and mental health. At NovaGenix, we simplify the process, offering comprehensive and effective solutions. Our all-inclusive treatment programs are designed for both men and women, ensuring a seamless and convenient experience, starting with a straightforward diagnostic approach. Starting by testing for low T and then making a diagnosis for androgen deficiency when possible. There are several ways for a physician to look for and test testosterone levels/deficiency. This process may involve blood tests, physical examinations, and questionnaires. Establishing a baseline testosterone level is highly beneficial, as it provides a point of reference to monitor any changes over the years and assess the rate of decline. Even if your levels are currently within a healthy range, future changes can be unpredictable. Maintaining a record of your testosterone levels allows you and your healthcare provider to make informed decisions and implement timely interventions if necessary.

How to Test for Low T
Testing can start with a process called the ADAM (Androgen Deficiency in Aging Males) questionnaire, this tool can be used to assess symptoms such as fatigue, loss of muscle mass and strength, and decreased libido. Men come to us and are often curious as to what their testosterone levels should be. Answering a series of questions about your signs and symptoms can help determine if a hormone deficiency might be present. If Low T is suspected, we then move forward with a thorough evaluation, which includes:

1. Medical History Review: To ID any potential causes or  factors that contribute to the low T levels.
2. Physical Exam: To assess the patients overall health.
3. Blood Tests: To measure both free and total testosterone levels, which can help to provide an accurate diagnosis.

Our experienced and licensed physician carefully reviews your results and may recommend additional tests to ensure your liver, kidneys, and heart are functioning optimally before beginning treatment. Patients receive a blood requisition form to visit a LabCorp testing site for a quick and convenient blood draw. Results are typically available within a few days. Both testosterone levels and symptoms are thoroughly evaluated to determine whether an endocrine imbalance exists and if Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) may be a suitable option for you.

Why Testing Matters

Left untreated, Low T  can have serious long-term effects on men’s health, increasing the risk of bone loss, cardiovascular problems, and depression. Reliable testing from a trusted lab is essential for accurate diagnosis and timely intervention. Treatments like  Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT),  can help restore energy, vitality, and strength while improving overall well-being. Beyond physical benefits, testosterone therapy positively impacts emotional health and quality of life, helping you feel and perform your best both physically and mentally.
