Low Testosterone Symptoms

Testosterone Symptoms as Men Age

As men age, their hormone levels decrease and their metabolism slows. Testosterone production declines every year especially after the age of 30 to 35. Low testosterone levels can cause a man to experience a variety of symptoms including low sex drive, inability to get or keep an erection (ED – Erectile Dysfunction), weight gain, irritability, loss of energy and muscle mass.

The health problems associated with low testosterone are becoming better known and its cause is now known as male menopause or andropause. Weight gain can easily occur because many men have the same diet and eating habits today that they had in their teens when they were much more active and had a much faster metabolism and higher levels of testosterone. As a result, by the time men hit the mid 30′s and 40′s, they begin to experience weight gains that doesn’t easily come off with exercise. As men experience men’s version of menopause the benefits of testosterone are gradually lost and symptoms of low testosterone begin to appear.

Men and the aging process. As hormone levels including testosterone decline, metabolism slows. Metabolism can be sped up through increasing physical activity, exercise routines and a more balanced, nutritional diet. However, many men find that they are no longer able to work out as they did before without feeling tired or fatigued. Their muscles may even hurt or feel sore after workouts. Their bodies start to lose their figure and exercise is no longer as effective in helping them to lose weight. Sex drive and desire for their partner decreases, enthusiasm, drive and ambition wanes.

Why? Low Testosterone. One of Low T’s symptoms is noticeable weight gains, muscle loss and softness in spite of exercise and diet. Because Testosterone is essential to so many of the body’s systems it plays a major role in keeping fit and keeping body fat in check. There are genetic factors tying obesity to men with Low T. Low testosterone in men creates a problem in fighting weight gain and losing fat. Men who are predisposed to being overweight are likely to have low testosterone levels and experience the symptoms of Low T.

Weight gain and muscle loss are closely related to a man’s testosterone levels. As men age and their testosterone levels decrease significantly, fat cells produce aromatase the substance in the body which is responsible for converting testosterone into estrogen. With more estrogen production comes lowered testosterone and the cycle of weight gain due to increased body fat continues. More body fat contributes through aromatase converted estrogen to lowered testosterone levels, and the lowered testosterone levels contribute to more fat and muscle loss. The answer is Testosterone Therapy or TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy). Testosterone Therapy

Low Testosterone can seriously impact and steal away a man’s enjoyment of sex, energy, strength and vitality. If you are unsure if your symptoms are due to low testosterone levels, simply ask yourself some simple questions.

Am I always tired, feel exhausted, nod off in a meeting or right after a meal?

Am I irritable, annoyed, anxious, moody or feeling rage and anger all the time?

Is my libido and sex drive less, have I lost desire for my partner or interest in sex?
