The main treatments for low testosterone include medication and nutritional improvement. Medication: Low testosterone can be treated with testosterone hormone therapy, usually administered via testosterone injections. Alternatively, testosterone patches or oral testosterone tablets may also be used. Nutritional improvement: Patients can improve their testosterone levels by adjusting their diet. This includes consuming foods rich in vitamin E and vitamin B6, as well as zinc-rich foods such as legumes, meat, lean meat, and fish. Additionally, taking dietary supplements containing vitamin B6 and vitamin E may help promote testosterone synthesis and secretion.
