During puberty, testosterone helps build a mans muscles, deepens his voice, and boosts the size of his penis and testes. In adulthood, it keeps a mans muscles and bones strong and maintains his interest in sex. In short, its what makes a man a man (at least physically).<\/p>\n
After age 30, most men begin to experience a gradual decline in testosterone. A decrease in sex drive sometimes accompanies the drop in testosterone, leading many men to mistakenly believe that their loss of interest in sex is simply due to aging.<\/p>\n
Low testosterone can cause an obvious lack of male characteristics, or it can cause vague symptoms such as fatigue and diminished sex drive.<\/p>\n
The symptoms of low testosterone (or low T) in males can vary depending on the cause of the low level and the age at which it occurs.<\/p>\n
In male hypogonadism, a condition in which the body is unable to produce normal amounts of the hormone testosterone, symptoms may include underdeveloped genitalia, delayed puberty, and a lack of secondary sexual characteristics such as a deeper voice and facial hair.<\/p>\n
In middle-aged or older men experiencing age-related decreases in testosterone, symptoms may include low energy, depressed mood, low sex drive, and erectile dysfunction (ED or impotence).<\/p>\n
No matter what the cause, symptoms alone are not enough for a diagnosis of low testosterone: A blood test is needed to confirm that a mans testosterone level is, indeed, low.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
