Finding a Doctor
If you are experiencing symptoms of low testosterone, talking with a doctor is an important first step. Your doctor can verify your testosterone levels with a simple blood test, and then discuss options for treatment.
What kind of doctor should you talk with?
Your family doctor -- or primary care doctor -- is a good place to start. If necessary, your family doctor can refer you to a specialist who regularly treats specific male health issues such as low testosterone.
Urologist
One type of specialist that focuses on issues such as low testosterone is a urologist. Urologists specialize in disorders of the male reproductive organs, urinary tract, and kidneys. They often concentrate on the screening and treatment of prostate disorders, as well as erectile and sexual dysfunction.
Endocrinologist
Another specialist that may have experience in diagnosing and treating low testosterone is an endocrinologist. Endocrinologists work regularly with patients who suffer from hormone-related diseases.
