Low testosterone is just as likely to cause those problems - a bit like thyroid, I suppose. Has to be right, not too high and not too low.

Check out Thierry Hertoghe - a well respected Endocrinologist. Good book - The Hormone Solution - by him. Lots on YouTube and websites generally about him...

All your hormones need to be balanced, as they all work together. If one is low, the others are going to be affected. If your testosterone is low, it needs to be optimised. I have no idea about your eye pressure. Why do you think it will affect that?

I thought male & female have all?? Levels are the relevant thing.

Do you suffer bad sweating? I do & was suggested my low testosterone may be the cause. No treatment suggested (as usual with this Consultant) but after reading up on I'm not too keen on the possible effects it can have.
