When should a person seek medical care for low testosterone?A person should seek medical care if they notice any of the symptoms (as previously discussed) that are associated with low-T. Males that have erectile dysfunction should seek medical care and not rely on medications or cures advertised on TV or the internet, or from anywhere else to self-treat the problem. Parents of infants and of children approaching puberty should watch for signs and symptoms that indicate their children are developing normally. Routine examinations may identify the problem. Any abnormal or delay in development should be discussed with the child's physician. Females who have symptoms should discuss them with their OB/GYN doctor or an endocrinologist.
