Understanding Low Testosterone and Its Effects

Testosterone is a key hormone for men’s health, affecting everything from muscle strength and bone density to mood, energy, and heart health. When levels are low, it can lead to serious health issues.

Symptoms of Low Testosterone

• Constant tiredness
• Feelings of sadness or irritability
• Trouble with erections or low sex drive
• Difficulty focusing or remembering things
• Loss of muscle and weaker bones
• Higher chance of diabetes and heart problems

Getting Help for Low Testosterone

If you notice these symptoms, talk to your doctor. A simple blood test can check your testosterone levels. Treatment might include:

• Healthy lifestyle changes
• Hormone replacement therapy (TRT)

With the right care, low testosterone can be managed effectively.
