Thanks for contacting HCM

You are concerned about you husband having a low testosterone level. My first question was the test done as a fasting in the morning? Frequently labs have different normal ranges for testosterone and your husbands levels definitely sounds like he has low T. For the treatment he will need to start testosterone therapy which requires either topical or injections. Unfortunately taking pills does not work to increase testosterone levels.

I recommend that your husband seek a urologist who specializes in men's health issues. They can then repeat his labs and then start testosterone replacement if low.
