Low Testosterone (Low T) Treatment in Richmond, TX
Evaluation and treatment of low testosterone in adult men, starting with confirmed lab testing and a look at other causes of your symptoms.
What is low testosterone?
Testosterone is a hormone that affects energy, muscle mass, bone strength, mood and sex drive. Low testosterone, sometimes called Low T or hypogonadism, means the body is not making enough of it. Levels naturally decline slowly with age, and they can also be lowered by other health conditions and some medications.
Lifecare Primary Medical evaluates and treats low testosterone in adult men at 7103 South Peek Road, Suite 520, Richmond, TX 77407. Diagnosis is based on symptoms plus lab results, not symptoms alone.
Symptoms
Possible signs of low testosterone
- Low sex drive or erectile problems.
- Fatigue and low energy.
- Loss of muscle mass or strength.
- Increased body fat.
- Low mood, irritability or trouble concentrating.
- Decreased bone density.
These symptoms are not specific to low testosterone. Poor sleep, sleep apnea, depression, thyroid problems, diabetes and medication side effects can cause similar problems, which is why a careful evaluation matters. Read more in our articles on low testosterone symptoms and low testosterone and depression.
Evaluation
How low testosterone is diagnosed
Your provider will review your symptoms, health history and medications and do an exam. Because testosterone levels change during the day, the blood test is usually done in the morning and repeated to confirm a low result. Additional labs may look for the cause and check your overall health before any treatment is considered.

Samira Khan, MD
Board-Certified Internal Medicine Physician
Low testosterone often overlaps with conditions such as diabetes, weight gain and sleep problems. Our internal medicine team looks at the whole picture before recommending treatment.
Treatment
Treatment and monitoring
If low testosterone is confirmed and treatment is appropriate, options include testosterone replacement therapy in several forms. Your provider will explain the possible benefits, risks and side effects, and whether treatment fits your goals, including any plans to have children, since testosterone therapy can reduce fertility.
Treatment requires regular follow-up and lab monitoring, such as testosterone levels and blood counts. Addressing related factors, such as sleep, weight, activity and other medical conditions, is also part of the plan.
