&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;What are the Causes of Low Testosterone?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Various factors can cause low testosterone (or &quot;low T&quot;) in men. Some of the most common causes include the following:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Age: &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/andropause&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;As men get older, their levels of testosterone naturally decline&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. This is a normal part of aging and is known as &quot;andropause.&quot;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Obesity: Being overweight or obese can lead to lower testosterone levels.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Chronic medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as diabetes and metabolic syndrome, can lead to low testosterone levels.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Injury or infection: Injury to the testicles or an infection in the reproductive system can cause low testosterone.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Medications: Certain medications, such as opioids and steroidal drugs, can lead to low testosterone.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Testicular dysfunction: Testicles that do not function properly or injury can lead to low testosterone.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Genetic disorders: Certain genetic disorders can lead to low testosterone.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&#39;s important to remember that other things can also cause low testosterone, and more research is needed to find out what they are. If you think you might have low testosterone, you should see a doctor right away. This condition can have a significant effect on your overall health and well-being.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Signs and Symptoms of Low Testosterone&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Low testosterone (or &quot;low T&quot;) in men can cause a variety of symptoms, including:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/what-causes-low-sex-drive-in-men-low-in-libido&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Low libido (Low sex drive)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;: Men with low testosterone may have a decreased interest in sex and difficulty getting or maintaining an erection.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fatigue: Low testosterone can cause men to feel tired and lack energy.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Decreased muscle mass and strength: Testosterone plays a role in muscle development, and men with low testosterone may have weaker muscles and reduced muscle mass.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Increased body fat: Testosterone helps regulate body fat, and men with low testosterone may increase body fat, particularly around the waist.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Decreased bone density: Testosterone helps maintain strong bones, and men with low testosterone may have weaker bones and an increased risk of osteoporosis.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mood changes: Low testosterone can cause irritability, depression, and a lack of focus.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hot flashes: Men with low testosterone may experience hot flashes like those experienced by menopausal women.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Inability to sleep: Low testosterone can cause insomnia and sleep apnea.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&#39;s important to note that other factors can also cause these symptoms, so it&#39;s essential to consult with a healthcare provider if you suspect you have low testosterone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) and AndroGel&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;AndroGel is used as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/testosterone-replacement-therapy-in-singapore-for-men&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;testosterone replacement therapy (TRT)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to treat men with low testosterone levels. It is a topical treatment that is applied to the skin as a gel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;TRT aims to get testosterone levels back to where they should be. This can help with low testosterone symptoms like low sex drive, &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;color: #003366; text-decoration: underline;&quot; href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/erectile-dysfunction&quot;&gt;erectile dysfunction&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, tiredness, and losing muscle mass. It may also help to improve bone density and mood.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&#39;s important to note that AndroGel should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare provider. Also, regular blood tests are needed to check testosterone levels and look for possible side effects.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&#39;s also important to note that testosterone replacement therapy has potential risks, such as an increased risk of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/prostate-cancer&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;prostate cancer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, sleep apnea, and cardiovascular events. Men with a history of these conditions should avoid using AndroGel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&#39;s important to discuss with your doctor the benefits and risks of TRT with AndroGel and any other testosterone replacement therapy options that may be available. For example, testosterone injection (such as &lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot; href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/testosterone-cypionate-testosterone-injection&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Depo-testosterone&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/nebido-testosterone-undecanoate-singapore&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nebido&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;) and a testosterone patch are two other testosterone replacement therapy options.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How Do I Use AndroGel?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;First, make sure your skin is clean and dry before applying AndroGel.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Squeeze the pump to dispense the gel onto your hand.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Apply the gel to the front and inner thighs, upper arms, or stomach, avoiding the genitals and area around the nipples.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Allow the gel to dry for at least 2-5 minutes before dressing.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after applying the gel to avoid transferring the medication to others.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&#39;s essential to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider. AndroGel should not be applied to the genitals or broken or irritated skin. Avoid showering or swimming for at least 2 hours after applying the gel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&#39;s crucial to keep the gel away from children and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. You should talk to your doctor if you have strange symptoms, skin irritation, or allergic reactions after using AndroGel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Missed Dose:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; If you miss a dose of this medicine, apply it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and return to your regular dosing schedule.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Side Effects of AndroGel&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Like any medication, AndroGel can cause side effects. The most common side effects of AndroGel include:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Skin irritation or itching at the application site&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Acne&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Increased red blood cell count&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;color: #003366; text-decoration: underline;&quot; href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/health-screening&#39;&quot;&gt;Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sleep apnea&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Less common side effects can include:&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Swelling in the ankles or feet&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Breast swelling or tenderness&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Increased risk of prostate cancer&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Increased risk of cardiovascular events&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&#39;s important to note that these side effects are not exhaustive and that other side effects may occur. Contact your doctor if you have any strange symptoms, if AndroGel makes your skin itch, or if you have an allergic reaction.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&#39;s important to note that these side effects will vary depending on the individual and the medication dosage, and that not all the side effects mentioned above will occur.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&#39;s also important to mention that TRT with AndroGel is not suitable for everyone and it should be used with caution in men with a history of prostate or breast cancer, heart disease, sleep apnea, or other serious health conditions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Discussing TRT&#39;s potential benefits and risks with a healthcare provider is essential. Your doctor can help you weigh the pros and cons and determine if TRT is the proper treatment for you.&lt;/p&gt;
