About low testosterone (male hypogonadism, andropause)
Testosterone peaks in early adulthood and falls slowly with age, about 1 percent a year after 30 to 40. Symptoms appear when levels fall below the normal range for the individual. Causes include testicular failure, pituitary problems, obesity, type 2 diabetes, sleep apnoea, chronic illness, steroid or opioid use, alcohol and stress.
Diagnosis needs symptoms and a low morning blood testosterone on two occasions, with LH, FSH, prolactin and other tests to find the cause. Treatment depends on the cause and whether fertility is wanted, because testosterone replacement can suppress sperm production. Do not start testosterone supplements without medical guidance.

By symptoms and a morning blood testosterone test on two separate days, with LH, FSH, prolactin and other tests to find the cause.
