Low Testosterone and Fatigue
Tired no matter how much you sleep, dragging through the afternoon, no drive to work out. Low testosterone is one possible reason.
Why it happens
Why low T drains energy
Testosterone supports energy, motivation, muscle and red blood cell production. When it is low, many men feel run down. But fatigue has many causes, including sleep apnea, thyroid problems, anemia, depression and diabetes, so testing matters.

Treatment options
Testing for the real cause
Our labs look at testosterone, thyroid, blood counts and blood sugar. If low testosterone is confirmed, treatment may help restore energy over several weeks.
When testing confirms low testosterone, testosterone replacement therapy may help. Options include EvexiPEL testosterone pellets and other forms of therapy, with regular labs to keep treatment safe. Testosterone is best measured in the morning and confirmed with a second test.
We treat fatigue and low energy for patients from Kingwood, The Woodlands, Porter, Humble and across the Lake Houston area at our New Caney office. Your first visit starts with lab work and a real conversation about your symptoms.
