Symptoms of low testosterone (low t) in men

WWW.TESTOSTERONES.NET

Testosterone is the hormone which results in

the development of manly features in a male

body. It puts hair on a man’s chest and face! It

is also the driving force behind his sexual

desires. During the puberty phase it is this

hormone that develops the body mass and

muscle mass in males. Testosterone also helps

in deepening the voice in males and in

boosting the size of the penis and the testes.

During adulthood, this hormone plays a vital

role in developing and maintaining the muscle

mass and making the bones stronger.


Generally we think that low testosterone affects

only aged or at least middle aged men. But, today

the occurrence of low testosterone symptoms is

really high. Age is not the only factor contributing

to these symptoms. Changing lifestyles, obesity or

even medication can affect hormone levels in a

man from an early age. Sometimes even the

presence of a benign tumor in the pituitary gland

can be cause of decreasing levels of testosterone

in a male body. Generally if the testosterone level

in a man falls below 300 nanograms per deciliter,

it is called a condition of low T and requires

treatment.

Reduced levels of testosterone in men tend to leave them grumpy, anxious,

prone to bouts of anger and dissatisfied with life in whole. Frustration and

sadness are also related to the low T problems. Generally women are known

to experience major mood swings but that is not true always. Men too

experience radical mood changes especially if they are suffering from low

levels of testosterone in their body generally show this kind of behavior. It is

also popularly known as the ‘irritable male syndrome’.

40-60 is the critical period for men as their lives undergo drastic changes in

every possible way. Family, spouse, job and children- every aspect undergoes

a change during these 20 years. So, the effects of low T might seem to be

enhanced during these years.


Men in the age group over 70 have a high risk of suffering from

heart ailments and diabetes. Studies have revealed that low

testosterone levels are correlated with such symptoms. The riddle is,

would treating the testosterone level in men over 70 reduce their

probability of suffering from such life threatening diseases? At 70, the

concern of low T shifts from having sexual desire to having a proper

overall health. Studies have proved that men who have really high

levels of testosterone even at this age naturally, are at a lower risk of

suffering from stroke or heart diseases. The level of testosterone is

around 550. Low testosterone levels combined with other factors such

as obesity or smoking habits or poor lifestyle, excessive cholesterol

levels can actually aid to worsening the condition for men over 70.


Men with low T levels are also at a higher risk of suffering from

osteoporosis and osteopenia. These are associated with low

testosterone symptoms in men over 80 especially. The bone density

reduces drastically between 70 to 80 years of age due to the lower

levels of testosterone and thereby results in bone thinning. The

immediate consequences are reduced mobility and a very high risk of

fractures. It also results in loss of height or slouching and suffering

bone breaks even from the most minor incidents.

Thus, across various age groups men can suffer from various kinds

of low testosterone symptoms. These are warning signs one should

never ignore. Men should consult a doctor and discuss their problems

to arrive at a proper solution and embrace good health.
