Do you think you could potentially be suffering from a low testosterone level?

The basic questionnaire (ADAM) can be a very useful screening tool for men to describe the kind and the severity of low testosterone symptoms in a male. The questionnaire consists of 10 questions that help determine if a patient suffers from androgen deficiency (low testosterone).

Androgen deficiency is a pervasive problem in the older male population and is thought to be responsible for many symptoms once considered to be the result of normal natural aging. Numerous methods have been proposed to facilitate the detection of men at risk for androgen deficiency. The ADAM questionnaire is one.

It is an internationally accredited assessment tool which is often used by doctors when making the assessment and diagnosis of Testosterone Deficiency. A positive result does not necessarily mean that you have a low testosterone level or require treatment, but can be a helpful guide when discussing your symptoms with your doctor.
