Assess your symptoms
Assessing your risk of hypogonadism is important, especially as you age, and monitoring your condition when you have been diagnosed will help you measure if your symptoms are improving or not.
By assessing risk or monitoring your condition yourself, you will be able to have more productive and useful conversations with your doctor.
Below we have four assessments which you can use at home. If you have any concerns, please speak to your doctor.
ADAM Questionnaire
The Androgen Deficiency Aging Males (ADAM) questionnaire is a quick and easy way to assess if you have the symptoms associated with hypogonadism / testosterone deficiency. [1]
Fill in the short questionnaire below and find out if you may have testosterone deficiency. This tool is not a method of diagnosing deficiency but will tell you if your doctor needs to carry out further tests. [1] [2]
You may also find some of our other assessment tools useful, please see below.
