Is low testosterone a normal part of ageing?

Testosterone levels may decline with age, but significant symptoms should not simply be dismissed as ageing.

Should every older man have his testosterone checked?

Routine testing of asymptomatic men is not generally necessary. Testing is more appropriate when symptoms or signs suggest testosterone deficiency.

Can older men take testosterone?

Some older men with confirmed testosterone deficiency may be considered for treatment after careful evaluation of potential benefits and risks.
