Symptoms

CONSTANT FATIGUE OR TIREDNESS

Many men with low testosterone feel exhausted, regardless of how well or poorly they've slept. If you have low t, you might lack your usual amount of energy. You may feel your desire or enthusiasm for exercise and physical activity is declining. Everyone can experience times of excessive tiredness for many reasons, including stress, depression, or burnout. However, your testosterone levels may be low if you're feeling fatigued during both periods of rest and busyness.

DIFFICULTY WITH SEXUAL PERFORMANCE

As men grow older, it’s normal for them to lose some amount of their libido. But low t can cause it to significantly decline or disappear altogether. Common signs that low testosterone is causing decreased libido include the difficulty or inability to get an erection, difficulty maintaining an erection, and loss of sexual desire. Men may also stop producing as much semen as they used to do. If sexual dysfunction is affecting your life, we recommend getting your testosterone levels tested.

WEIGHT GAIN OR FLUCTUATION

If you've suddenly gained weight without any changes to your diet, exercise, or lifestyle, low t may be the cause. When testosterone is reduced, it can lead to lost muscle mass and increased fat tissue. Men with low t may gain more weight in their stomach, hips, or breasts because the ratio between their testosterone and estrogen is unbalanced. Unexplained weight gain is a sufficient reason to have your testosterone checked.
