Low testosterone symptoms

DISCOVER ALL SYMPTOMS INDICATIVE OF A LOW TESTOSTERONE LEVEL (HYPOGONADISM)

From the age of 40 onwards, it is very common for men to suffer from testosterone deficiency. This hormonal imbalance can manifest itself in many different ways, which is why we group the symptoms of low testosterone into three main groups: emotional symptoms, physical symptoms, and symptoms related to other illnesses.

Fortunately, the deficit is very easy to diagnose using the testosterone analysis.

If you are over XNUMX years old, you may have already started to notice some of these symptoms, but you may not have related them to low testosterone levels.Pay close attention to the following list; do you identify these symptoms with your own?

 

  • Depression and low mood
  • Bad mood and general malaise
  • Depression sustained with ups and downs, pessimism
  • Lack of concentration is becoming more frequent
  • Lack of sexual desire (lack of libido)
  • Extreme fatigue
  • General feeling of sadness
  • Loss of self-confidence
  • Negative self image
  • Irritability
  • Anxiety
  • Insomnia

    When our blood testosterone levels are not optimal, our body suffers. Healthy lifestyle habits, regular exercise and a balanced diet can help delay the deterioration and maintain our mental health, but the truth is that once our testosterone levels begin to decline, our physical condition declines with it.

    Below you can check the most common physical symptoms in men suffering from testosterone deficiency:

     

    • Lack of erection
    • Weak erections
    • Erectile dysfunction
    • Premature or weak ejaculation
    • Premature aging
    • Sagging and/or loss of muscle mass
    • Excess abdominal fat
    • Reduced overall endurance during exercise
    • Weight gain
    • Hair loss in pubic area, chest and face
    • Languor and lightening of the skin
    • Sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass)
    • Dynapenia (loss of strength and speed)
    • Decreased metabolism, slower physical recovery
    • More fragile bones
    • Muscle and joint pain
    • Arthritic degeneration
    • Decreased bone mineral density (fractures)

      On the other hand, there are a series of illnesses that tend to occur in parallel to low testosterone levels, or derive from this deficit.

      The most prominent are:

       

      • Diabetes
      • Diabetes mellitus
      • Osteoporosis.
      • Loss of calcium and bone density
      • Obesity
      • High blood ressure
      • Weakness of the heart and blood system not due to disease
      • Coronary diseases
      • Difficulty to sleep
      • Hot flashes and night sweats
      • Difficulty concentrating
      • Recurrent memory and concentration lapses
      • Headaches
      • Coldness of extremities
      • Premature aging
      • Increased body and visceral fat: cardiovascular disease and insulin resistance
      • Gynecomastia (breast development)
      • Hair and hair fragility
      • Skin atrophy

        Why should I care about my testosterone levels?

        Testosterone in men performs very important functions. Therefore, maintaining low testosterone levels over time is generally harmful to the body , causing each organ to suffer from an energy shortage that weakens it more and more, and makes it increasingly difficult to recover it.

        Tackling this problem through testosterone replacement therapy (TRT)* under constant medical supervision will improve and keep our major organs healthy and strong for longer.

        Unlike other centres where symptoms are treated, here at Low T Center we focus on the origin of the problem (your testosterone hormone deficiency) to solve the symptoms and results are guaranteed in 100% of our patients..

        Why do testosterone levels drop?

        From the age of 40, men begin to experience changes in their bodies and in their well-being. This is because testosterone levels in our body begin to decrease, and although the rate at which they decrease depends on each man, it happens to all of us sooner or later. This transition we go through is calledhypogonadism«.

        Let's go back to basics; what is testosterone? Testosterone is the most important male hormone, produced mainly by the testicles. Testosterone has several functions in the male body and it is the hormone responsible for the development of sexual characteristics such as muscle mass, body hair, deep voice, etc. 

        Hypogonadism often occurs when men enter that phase known asandropause»(however, it can occur earlier). Although the process of andropause in men is somewhat similar to menopause in women, the symptoms and changes are not the same and do not have that much in common. For example, men with low testosterone do not suffer from hot flashes or flushes, nor is the change as sudden as in the case of menstruation withdrawal in women, but that does not mean that the symptoms caused by a hormonal syndrome of low testosterone are easy to carry.

        When our hormone levels start to decline, we begin to experience the symptoms mentioned at the beginning of this page.

        The solution to combat the abnormal decrease in testosterone levels, is testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).
