Health Desk. Testosterone is an important hormone in the men’s body, which plays an important role in maintaining muscle strength, bone health, energy, sexual health and mental balance. Its level may naturally decrease with increasing age, but if its deficiency exceeds normal, the body starts giving various signals.

1. Constant fatigue and lack of energy

If you feel tired throughout the day even after taking adequate rest or do not have energy to do any work, it could be a sign of low testosterone levels.

2. Decreased muscle strength

Despite regular exercise, weakening of muscles or feeling less strong than before can also indicate hormonal deficiency.

3. Decrease in sexual desire

Testosterone affects men’s sexual desire (libido). If you are feeling lack of sexual desire for a long time, it would be appropriate to get it checked.

4. Mood changes and irritability

Frequent irritability, sadness, stress, or lack of confidence may also be associated with low testosterone. However, there can be many other reasons for this, so medical advice is necessary.

5. Increase in body fat

Due to low hormone levels, fat starts increasing around the stomach in some men and it can be difficult to control weight.

6. Bone weakness

Testosterone helps keep bones strong. Its deficiency can reduce bone density, which can increase the risk of fractures in the future.

7. Decrease in attention and memory

If you have trouble concentrating, forget small things, or lack mental clarity, this could also be a possible sign of low testosterone.

When to get tested?

If many of the symptoms mentioned above persist for several weeks or months, consult a doctor instead of self-medicating. The doctor can check your health condition, symptoms and testosterone levels through blood test if necessary. Only after this, appropriate treatment or lifestyle changes are advised.
