That level is on the lower side for adult males. This could explain delayed beard growth and low energy. Please see an endocrinologist. Hormone therapy may help if needed.

Take a Testosterone Free Test Test or Take a FSH,LH & Prolactin, Serum Test

Does testosterone gel work for a beard?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am a 35 year old male with less facial hair. My height is 5 feet 10 inches and weight is 62 kg. Is it okay to take testosterone therapy at this age because my lab report was on the lower side. Would it be beneficial and what are the possible side effects?
