He is a\u202fprolific writer and educator about men&#8217;s health and has a\u202fparticular interest in low\u202ftestosterone in men. In this episode, Dr Newson and Professor Hackett talk about how having a low testosterone level can affect men, how common it is and how men can\u202freceive help and treatment. Around 20% of men in the UK have low testosterone at some time in their life but few of these men are being diagnosed and treated. This is due to lack of awareness by patients and doctors, especially as symptoms are vague and often subject to incorrect diagnosis.\u202fErectile\u202fproblems can be a sign of cardiovascular disease so it is really\u202fimportant that men have the\u202fappropriate tests and receive the best treatment to improve their future health.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor Geoffrey Hackett&#8217;s Three take Home Tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Having erections and sexual activity is great for men&#8217;s health.
