There are many potential signs and symptoms of low testosterone, but each can improve with testosterone replacement therapy. Key indicators of low testosterone include:

  • Feelings of depression
  • Lowered energy levels
  • Fatigue
  • Disruptive sleep patterns and quality of sleep
  • Sexual dysfunction
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Loss of muscle mass
  • Lack of mental clarity, drive and focus
  • Drop in strength and endurance
  • Mood swings
  • Fogginess and indecision

When testosterone is at an optimal level within your body, muscle mass is normally easily maintained and developed, ensuring you are in an anabolic state. If, however, your testosterone drops below normal levels, your body may enter a catabolic state, which causes it to break down muscle tissue and reduce muscle mass. This loss of muscle may also impact your overall strength, endurance, and stamina. When your testosterone levels decrease, your bones become weaker, which increases your risk for fractures, osteoporosis, and low bone density.

Low sex drive is typically the first symptom to develop in association with low testosterone levels. Most men who experience the effects of low testosterone notice a significant decline in sexual performance and lack of sexual appetite. This lack of sex drive often extends to a decline in arousal and fewer erotic dreams and fantasies.

In addition to a loss of libido, many men suffering from low T may have difficulty obtaining and maintaining an erection. You may  experience a loss of penile length and girth due to low testosterone, and may notice a change in the size and texture of your testicles. Erectile dysfunction and shrinkage occurring as a result of low testosterone is typically treatable and, in many cases, the effects of these symptoms can be reversed with testosterone replacement therapy and hCG treatment.

There are many testosterone receptors in the brain that play a role in memory and concentration. When your testosterone levels fall below optimal levels, you may notice a more difficult time focusing or remembering things.

Many men may experience mood swings as an effect of low testosterone. Men suffering from low T have may have increased feelings of depression, anxiety, and irritability. Fortunately, this symptom of low testosterone is often one of the first to improve as a result of testosterone replacement therapy.
