Male patients don't usually recognize the symptoms of testosterone deficiency until it effects their erections. They often ignore the preliminary health related problems that occur as a result of age related declining testosterone levels. "But I can still perform in bed Doc!" "I can't be testosterone deficient".

Many a male patient has taken offense to my recommendation that we test their hormone levels. They respond like I just accused them of wearing thong underwear. This is all too common the response, and a sad one at that. Are you a professional that relies on a sharp mind for your job, yet yours is failing you? Or maybe you are hard physical worker that relies on your stamina to keep the pay checks coming in, yet your abilities are failing you.
