Low Testosterone Symptoms
The symptoms men
learn to live with.
Most men put the changes down to age, stress or a busy life. Sometimes that is exactly what it is. Sometimes there is more to it, and the only way to know is to look.
A symptoms assessment is not a diagnosis.
(What men notice)
The symptoms men
raise with us.
These are the changes men most often describe. They are common, and on their own they confirm nothing, but together they are worth taking seriously enough to look into.
Fatigue and low energy
Tired even after a full night's sleep, running on empty by mid-afternoon.
Low motivation and brain fog
Harder to focus, losing your train of thought, drive that has gone quiet.
Reduced sex drive
A noticeable drop in sex drive or interest.
Loss of strength or stamina
Harder to build or hold muscle, slower to recover than you used to be.
Weight gain
Changes in body composition, particularly around the middle.
Low or irritable mood
Flat, short-fused or just not feeling like yourself lately.
Poor, unrefreshing sleep
Waking unrested no matter how many hours you spend in bed.
A general drop in wellbeing
The sense that something has shifted, even if you can't name it.
Important: these symptoms have many possible causes, from sleep and stress to thyroid and other health conditions. A hormonal cause is only one possibility. The only way to know is a medical assessment and a blood test. If you are struggling with your mood or in crisis, please speak with your GP, or call 000, or Lifeline on 13 11 14.
