Wondering whether hormone therapy might be right for you? If you suspect you’re experiencing reduced testosterone or similar issues, but aren’t sure, consider these seven common men’s health issues which tie back directly to hormonal issues.

Of course, there are many other ailments and illnesses which can introduce these same problems, but if you have several in conjunction it’s a very strong sign that you’re experiencing difficulties related to testosterone and other hormones.

1. Reduced sex drive

One of the first signs many men notice when testosterone levels begin to drop will be a reduction in sex drive. This may manifest as a simple reduced desire for sex, or may come alongside physiological difficulties such as difficulty attaining or maintaining an erection.

2. Mood difficulties

A more insidious result of hormone problems comes in mood swings, increased likelihood of depression and other mood disorders, and similar problems. Men who develop mood problems later in life without any other notable root cause should look to hormones as a likely culprit. Reduced motivation, temper problems, increased anxiety, and various other issues can stem from reductions in testosterone.

3. Hair loss

While the loss of hair on your scalp usually isn’t related to low testosterone levels, it can be associated with other hormonal difficulties. Furthermore, the loss of hair on your face and across your body often indicates reduced levels of testosterone.

4. Fatigue

Chronic fatigue without another root source often tracks back to reduced testosterone levels in older men. This is especially likely if the problem seems to be gradually becoming worse despite no other significant changes in your life.

5. Lost muscle

Many men who pay attention to their fitness first notice the impact of lowered testosterone levels in the gym, as they either stop progressing or begin regressing in accomplishments. Beyond the direct loss of muscle mass, low testosterone levels can impact overall fitness by causing slower recovery from workouts, making it more difficult to keep up with your normal exercise regimens.

6. Reduced bone density

While osteoporosis is often viewed as an issue for aging women, it’s quite common in men after the hormonal shifts of aging. Lowered levels of testosterone can directly lead to reduced bone mass, as can the reduced activity which stems from low-T mood problems, slow workout recovery, etc.

7. Increased body fat

Even putting aside the various impediments to hitting the gym hard that come alongside testosterone problems, the reduction of testosterone alone can cause your body to begin putting on extra fat. This often occurs alongside reductions in bone density and loss of muscle mass, so it may not show up on the scale for a while - making it quite the insidious issue.
