What are the potential symptoms of low testosterone levels in men?

Low testosterone levels in men, known as hypogonadism, can lead to various symptoms. These include:

  • Decreased sexual function such as in libido, erectile dysfunction, and reduced sexual performance.

  • Fatigue, decreased energy levels, and lack of motivation are common, affecting overall quality of life.

  • Muscle loss, decreased muscle strength, and increased body fat may occur due to testosterone's role in maintaining muscle mass.

  • Changes in mood, such as irritability, depression, and difficulty concentrating, are linked to hormonal imbalances.

  • Deteriorating bone health, leading to decreased bone density and potentially increasing the risk of fractures.

  • Changes in sleep patterns, such as insomnia or poor sleep quality, can be indicative of hormonal disruptions.
