LOW TESTOSTERONE
At Frugal Doctor, we understand that low testosterone (low T) can significantly impact a man’s quality of life, affecting everything from energy levels and mood to muscle mass and libido. Led by Dr. Harold Pierre, our comprehensive approach to treating low testosterone is designed to restore hormonal balance and enhance overall well-being. With extensive experience in managing hormonal imbalances in both men and women, Dr. Pierre provides personalized care to help patients navigate the complexities of low testosterone and its associated symptoms.
What is Low-T?
Low testosterone is a common condition that affects many men as they age. Testosterone is a vital hormone responsible for numerous functions, including:
-
Maintaining muscle and bone strength
-
Regulating fat distribution
-
Supporting healthy libido and sexual function
-
Influencing mood and energy levels
When testosterone levels drop below the normal range, which can occur due to aging, medical conditions, or certain medications, it can lead to various symptoms, including fatigue, depression, reduced sexual desire, and loss of muscle mass.
​
Symptoms of Low Testosterone
Patients experiencing low testosterone may exhibit a range of symptoms, such as:
-
Decreased energy and increased fatigue
-
Difficulty concentrating and memory issues
-
Reduced libido and sexual dysfunction
-
Increased body fat and loss of muscle mass
-
Mood swings, irritability, or depression
Recognizing these symptoms is crucial, as early diagnosis and treatment can help mitigate their effects and improve overall health.

Diagnosis and Evaluation
Dr. Pierre employs a thorough evaluation process to diagnose low testosterone, including:
-
Comprehensive medical history and physical examination
-
Blood tests to measure testosterone levels, ideally conducted in the morning when levels are highest
-
Assessment of symptoms and potential underlying causes
This comprehensive approach ensures that any hormonal imbalances are accurately identified and treated appropriately.
