HOW WOULD YOU KNOW IF YOU HAD LOW TESTOSTERONE LEVELS? 

There are three types of testosterone deficiency that varies depending on the male's age. The two that apply to our purposes are deficiency in puberty and deficiency in adulthood.

 

DEFICIENCY IN PUBERTY

Deficiency in puberty could result in:

• Enlargement of breast tissue

• Sparse or absent pubic and body hair

• Underdeveloped genitals

• Underdeveloped muscle

 

DEFICIENCY IN ADULTHOOD

Deficiency in adulthood could result in:

• Diminished libido (sex drive)

• Erectile dysfunction

• Muscle weakness

• Loss of body hair

• Depression

• Other mood disorders

•  

 

DISORDERS IN ALL AGES

Disorders that can affect all ages of men are:

• Loss of bone

• Increased fracture risk

• Loss of skeletal muscle and strength

• Increased fat mass

• Reduced libido

• Reduced erectile function

• Infertility

• Increased insulin resistance and risk of diabetes

• Reduced sense of well-being

• Fatigue

• Reduced stamina

• Depression

• Reduced cognition

 

 

 

Effects of long lasting testosterone deficiency include osteoporosis and Anorchia (vanishing testes syndrome).

 

We are the last ones to admit that we have something wrong with ourselves, some questions you

may ask yourself are:

• Do you have a decrease in libido (sex drive)?

• Do you have a lack of energy?

• Do you have a decrease in strength and/or endurance?

• Have you lost height?

• Have you noticed a decreased "enjoyment of life?"

• Are you sad and/or grumpy?

• Are your erections less strong?

• Have you noticed a recent deterioration in your ability to play sports?

• Are you falling asleep after dinner?

• Has there been a recent deterioration in your work performance?

If any of these questions are answered with a "yes", then you may have a testosterone deficiency. Don't panic though, it is usually easy to fix.
