Per Dr. Debled, the bladder neck and posterior urethra must open to urinate properly. The problem is difficult to diagnose.

Consequences of Low Testosterone All of the items listed under symptoms are, of course, conse-quences of low testosterone levels. Lack of testosterone leads to osteoporosis.
Depressed men have significantly lower levels of testosterone than nondepressed men.
Muscle weakness results from lack of testosterone because the me- tabolism of the muscle is influenced by testosterone. Large amounts of testosterone are consumed during exercise. Dr. Debled cited the example of how male athletes over 40 really cannot compete with the younger athletes because of their lowered testosterone levels. The more exercise you get, the more you lower your testosterone. A study of 250,000 Americans showed that male blood pressure increases with age.
