What are the Symptoms of Low T?
Low Testosterone leads to a host of problems that manifest themselves gradually over time. The process is often so slow that it isn't noticed. The symptoms are chalked up to "aging" and are considered inevitable. These include weight gain (especially around the waist), loss of energy and drive, decreased ability to add muscle at the gym, decreased memory, and decreased libido and performance ability, both athletically and in bed.
Low T leads to increased ageing of the heart and circulation along with increased heart attacks and strokes. The brain also ages prematurely leading to decreased memory and an increase in the incidence of dementia and Alzheimer's Disease. Muscle pain and stiffness in the joints is seen along with a decrease in lean body mass (less muscle) and anemia. Mentally men get " Grumpy Old Man Syndrome": fatigue, tiredness, depression, mood changes and even dysphoria (an uncomfortable mood in response to ordinary life events).
Low T is a lethal disease. It leads to excess fat, diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
I would say that I suffered from most of these symptoms before being diagnosed with low T .My wife was gonna leave me after 18 years and really who could blame her as with every year I was getting more and more closed in. I am 50 but for her it was like she was my sitter and her close friends were really asking her does she not deserve better than I .I cannot say whether she will want to remain married because after years of finding answers this could seem like another but I was taken by her statement today that she is not use to this new me that is here now and sometimes it gets to be to much and she tells me to slow down.I have not had this much mental clarity in too many year my energy and sex drive is back and I have a pep in my step that has been missing too.
