Disease description:

My friend’s younger brother is short and has a small Adam’s apple. After researching, we learned this may be due to low levels of testosterone (male sex hormone) in his body. What medications can be used to treat low testosterone in men?

Men with low testosterone levels may undergo testosterone supplementation at a reputable, licensed hospital. However, when such symptoms arise, it is essential to promptly seek evaluation at an appropriate medical facility to confirm the diagnosis before initiating drug therapy. Inappropriate medication selection may not only fail to benefit the body but could also exacerbate the condition. Additionally, incorporating cholesterol-rich foods into the daily diet may be beneficial.
