Low Blood Counts
Having low blood counts can also be a low testosterone symptom. As men age, their testosterone levels decrease, which causes unexpected anemia. Moreover, testosterone therapy for extremely low testosterone levels raises blood levels.
Male hypogonadism was substantially linked to unexplained anemia in 2 population studies. Some studies have specifically addressed the effect of testosterone in anemic men. Moreover, none have looked at the influence of testosterone on men with unexplained anemia, even though testosterone intervention in older low testosterone patients has been shown to increase their hemoglobin concentrations.
Anemia affects 10% of older people, with men more likely to be affected than women. The person will have anemia when the body doesn’t produce enough healthy red blood cells. The oxygen is taken up by red blood cells from the lungs, moved through the bloodstream, and then supplied to the body’s organs.
The body’s tissues and organs cannot get enough oxygen if the red blood cell count drops significantly. The body’s organs and tissues might not get enough oxygen if the blood count substantially decreases.
