Do You Think You Have Low T?
Hormone deficiency in adult males can lead to a range of troublesome symptoms. These include lower energy levels, feelings of depression, decreased libido, weight gain, muscle loss, memory issues, mood swings, reduced bone density, difficulty focusing, low stamina, weakened immunity, reduced skin elasticity, and joint pain. If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it may be worth consulting a healthcare professional to explore potential hormone imbalances.
Symptoms of Low T
Starting at age 30, a man's testosterone levels naturally start to decline. This decrease is typically slow and continues throughout his lifetime. However, in certain instances, these levels can fall swiftly, resulting in various symptoms. These may encompass:
Less energy
Restless Sleep
Brain Fog
Chronic Fatigue
Clinical depression
Decreased strength due to depleted muscle mass
Less semen during ejaculation
Diminished sexual desire
Weaker erections
Erectile dysfunction
Loss of bone density, which will appear as a loss of height
Testicle shrinkage or numbness in the testicles
Obesity, type 2 diabetes, or problems with the thyroid
Causes of Low T
Medical experts have identified three primary factors as the leading causes of low testosterone. They suggest that the condition typically originates in either the testes, pituitary gland or hypothalamus of the brain.
Low testosterone related to the testes can stem from several causes:
Undescended testicles
Testicular injury
Cancer therapy for testicular cancer
Aging
Mumps infection during puberty or adulthood, leading to testicular inflammation
Genetic conditions such as chromosome abnormalities
