Testosterone Deficiency Assessment Test
Testosterone is the hormone responsible for the proper development of male sexual characteristics as well as muscle bulk, bone growth, a sense of well-being and more. After age 30 a man’s testosterone levels gradually decline throughout the rest of his life.
With low levels of testosterone a man may lose his sex drive, feel depressed, have difficulty concentrating, experience erectile dysfunction and a host of other symptoms.
The following questionnaire on the symptoms of low testosterone is based on a test from the "Textbook of Men's Health"
(Boca Raton: Parthenon Publishing, 2002). Select one box in each row and check your results — along with any recommended actions — at the bottom.
