In recent years, conversations around “low testosterone” or “Low T” have become increasingly common. While sometimes overused in marketing, male hypogonadism is a real and medically recognized condition that can significantly affect a man’s physical, emotional, and sexual well-being.

Understanding what hypogonadism is, its causes, symptoms, and treatments can help men take charge of their health and get appropriate medical support early.

Testicular cancer develops in one or both testicles, which are part of the male reproductive system and responsible for producing sperm and testosterone. The most common type is germ cell tumors, which are divided into two main subtypes:

Seminomas – Slower-growing and more responsive to radiation therapy.

Non-seminomas – Tend to grow and spread more quickly.

Other, rarer types include Leydig cell tumors and Sertoli cell tumors.
