Testosterone is an essential hormone for men's health and wellbeing. When levels are low, men may experience symptoms like low energy, reduced muscle mass, weight gain, erection difficulties, and depressed mood. Low testosterone is typically diagnosed through blood tests showing total or free testosterone under 300 ng/dL.
While some causes are natural with aging, others relate to obesity, chronic diseases, injuries, medications, or genetics influencing testosterone production. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can effectively and safely treat low testosterone through gels, injections, pellets, or other delivery methods restoring levels to normal ranges.
When appropriately monitored and dosed, TRT offers life-changing benefits for many men's quality of life. If you suspect low testosterone based on symptoms, have your levels checked and explore treatment options. Butterfly Hormone Center provides comprehensive testosterone treatments tailored to your unique health profile.
Recognizing low testosterone starts with knowing the wide range of possible symptoms. However, testing is essential for an accurate diagnosis, determining the severity, and guiding treatment plans.
Physical and mental signs pointing to hormone deficiency include:
If several low testosterone symptoms apply to you, diagnostic blood tests are strongly recommended. Your doctor will check total testosterone along with free testosterone calculations taking binding proteins into account.
Testing should occur in the early morning when levels peak. Single tests may miss fluctuations, so confirmation with further testing is ideal.
Values below 300 ng/dL often indicate testosterone deficiency warranting treatment. Borderline results between 300-400 ng/dL with clear symptoms present may also point to low hormonal states reducing wellness and performance.
Butterfly Hormone Center conducts thorough testosterone blood tests in clinic and refers patients to outside labs if preferred. We determine if levels are below optimal thresholds and precisely which aspects of the hormonal cascade need support.
If testing reveals low testosterone, Butterfly Hormone Center has the expertise to help you regain optimal levels through science-based protocols tailored to your health profile.

A little-known benefit of testosterone treatments is that they may help reduce insulin resistance and risk of diabetes in men with low testosterone levels. Multiple studies have shown testosterone therapy can improve insulin sensitivity and help stabilize blood sugar levels in hypogonadal men.
If low testosterone is impacting your health, timely action is wise. Hastening diagnosis through testing and promptly starting treatment if warranted prevents further declines.
Some doctors advise “watchful waiting” - avoiding treatment unless levels are extremely low. This stance stems from outdated fears of testosterone therapy risks.
However, today’s evidence shows TRT is safe and effective when properly implemented. Postponing treatment allows deficiency to worsen, risking consequences like:
Modern TRT protocols avert these outcomes through prompt optimization.
