No. Fatigue can have many causes. Your clinician considers symptoms, health history, and blood tests before making a diagnosis.
Why do I need blood tests?+
Hormone levels vary. Diagnosing low testosterone generally requires symptoms together with at least two low early-morning testosterone results.
What if I want to have children?+
Tell your clinician before starting treatment. Fertility goals affect which options are appropriate; testosterone replacement can reduce sperm production.
