Testosterone Deficiency - THE PROBLEM WE FACE
Doctors have historically been unable to recognise the symptoms of low Testosterone, because there are so many other potential causes. A combination of inadequate research, confusing procedures and a certain amount of denial, by doctor, and patient, have conspired to leave Testosterone depletion missing from diagnostic procedures. The AACE, seeks to recitfy the situation.1New, accurate testing procedures, finer dosing abilities, with daily transdermal gel application, enable doctors to test and treat without risking endocrine imbalance. But they need help in changing old concepts.
There are specific symptoms associated with newborns and children. Many men are in denial of health, never mind Testicular problems, so it is to the ladies we look for help.
As mothers and wives, nobody knows a family member better. It is she who notices the changes in her man.Asking for a Testosterone profile is not a crime and may help improve the quality of life. If the doctor doesn't understand concerns, don't be angry, help educate, by providing a copy of the AACE guidelines,1 which you can print off.
Several indicators are available to assist the detection process in a baby and in children as they grow. Simple blood tests will confirm or deny the presence of problems, and could also highlight underlying health issues. Babies and Children
In baby boys, the "spurt" of testosterone shortly after birth is a critical time. Detection at that time, allows the possibility of treatment at an early age and subsequent normal development.Symptoms In Babies

Opinion
If a man or woman is suffering from symptoms, it makes sense to test for Testosterone depletion. In so doing, a treatable condition is either discovered, or removed from the health equation.
If it is discovered, the doctor has the opportunity of treating to restore current health concerns and giving the patient a better chance of avoiding long-term health problems. If Testosterone therapy is the answer, it is the answer. The benefit of being able to detect, test and treat accurately, can now be advantageous to the GP as he struggles with his case-load.
