Symptoms of Low Testosterone

Deterioration is widespread and can severely impact your quality of life. Low testosterone symptoms can arise similarly to putting a frog in gradually warming water.

You sometimes don't realize your poor state of conditioning until it gets out of hand. It's important you get hormone levels tested as part of a regular yearly checkup with your doctor.

Physical

- Fatigue.
- Reduced muscle mass.
- Reduced strength.
- Osteoporosis.
- Higher incidence of sudden death from heart attack.
- High cholesterol (high LDL/low HDL).
- Impotence.
- Low libido.
- Long refractory period (time it takes to have sex again).
- Low sperm count.
- Enlarged breasts (gyno/gynecomastia).

Mental

- Brain fog (inability to concentrate).
- Poor memory.

Emotional

- Depression.
- Mood swings.
- Irritability.
- Lack of motivation.

The age when you start noticing these symptoms can vary greatly from person to person. There are no hard fast rules. Some people feel great in to their 70's, others may need testosterone replacement in their 20's or even teens.

No two people are alike. Just because you are young, doesn't mean your testosterone levels are on par. It is just more likely.
