A man who is deficient in testosterone (a condition known as low testosterone or hypogonadism) may notice a plethora of physical, emotional, and sexual symptoms. Here are seven main signs that could indicate low testosterone:
1. Low Sex Drive (Decreased Libido)
• One of the most common signs.
• Reduced interest in sexual activity.
• May also affect the frequency of spontaneous erections.
2. Erectile Dysfunction
• Difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection.
• Testosterone plays a role in stimulating receptors in the brain involved in the erection process.
3. Fatigue and Low Energy Levels
• Persistent tiredness, even after adequate rest.
• Lack of motivation or feelings of burnout.
4. Loss of Muscle Mass and Strength
• Decrease in muscle tone or strength despite regular exercise.
• Testosterone helps build and maintain muscle tissue.
5. Increased Body Fat
• Especially around the abdomen.
• May be accompanied by man boobs (development of breast tissue).
6. Mood Changes and Depression
• Increased irritability, anxiety, or feelings of sadness.
• Some men may experience a general lack of well-being.
7. Difficulty Concentrating or Memory Problems
• Trouble focusing, forgetfulness, or feeling mentally “foggy.”
Bonus Signs:
• Decreased beard or body hair growth
• Decreased bone density (osteoporosis)
• Infertility
• Sleep disturbances
What to Do:
If you experience several of these symptoms, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider. A simple blood test (usually measuring morning testosterone levels) can help determine if you are deficient and whether treatment like testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is appropriate. Or take herbs rich in boosting testosterone like ginseng or deer antlers.
