COLUMBUS, Ohio - Hair coloring and facial treatments like Botox help many people look and feel younger, but increasingly, more men are seeking a way to feel younger. In record numbers, they're seeking a way boost to the male hormone testosterone.

We've seen the ads that warn of low testosterone, the male hormone that builds muscle, controls fat, and improves sex drive. They show a man concerned about less energy, moodiness and a low sex drive.

Urologist Dr. Gregory Lowe at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center says he has seen patients come in asking for the hormone even without documented low testosterone levels.

Many of them are receiving it, too. Online ads offer a dizzying number of products. There are over-the-counter supplements at health stores, as well hormone injections from doctors or prescription gels.

Be sure you do not have prostate issues (esp. cancer) before taking testosterone remedies.

Your doc is pulling your thingy.

The fast lane to cancer is low blood Ph.

If your blood is above 6.8 cancer cannot survive in your body.

Not so. My 65 yr old has the prostate of a 40 yr old man, so says his urologist.

No the title should read, record number of Doctors (including the alternative therapy type MD’s, Osteopaths, and more ) are Testing for Low T. Add to that checking for low Vitamin D, and a host of other things if they are on their game....
