Low Testosterone | Identify the Symptoms of Low Testosterone
Low testosterone? If you are not sure, start by answering a few questions:
First of all, how is your sex drive? would you describe yourself as having a low libido? Do you have a difficult time maintaining an erection?
How is your energy level? Do you have a lack of drive for work and sports? At work do you lack initiative? Are you less assertive that in years past? Do you still have a "zest" for life?
Low Testosterone Associated with Declining Strength and Endurance
How are you maintaining you levels of strength and endurance? Are you exercising and do you see much benefit from this activity? Are you easily injured? Do you have aches and pains that you don't remember causing? You just got up this morning and could hardly put any weight on you ankle. Where did that pain cone from? Do you sense a general decline in your over all health and well being? Are you losing height? Are you gaining weight?
Are you depressed? Do you frequently get irritable? Do they call you a grumpy old man behind your back? What has happened to your self confidence? Do you feel sad and out of place?
Do you still participate in sports? Are you losing your golf swing? Can you still play the way you did just a few years ago? Do you fall asleep after dinner? Has your work began to suffer? Do you notice that it takes you longer to maker decisions and you aren't as sharp as you were?
How is your cholesterol? High? Are you losing muscle and gaining fat around the middle?
There is no score keeping here. After reading this, you know you have low levels of testosterone and theses are the signs and symptoms of having declining levels of the male hormone. (Oh yes, women need testosterone, too.)
