Diagnosing Low Testosterone Levels
To diagnose low testosterone, it is not sufficient to rely on a single blood test due to potential outliers caused by factors like poor sleep, diet, and lifestyle choices. Testosterone levels can fluctuate, so it's recommended to conduct multiple tests after adequate rest and normal diet. Artificially low testosterone levels can occur due to extreme conditions like intense training or low body fat percentage, leading to inaccurate results. It's crucial to ensure a healthy baseline before testing. For accurate readings, it's advised to postpone the blood test if the individual has been unwell recently to avoid misleading results.
