What are the symptoms of low testosterone in men?

Men and women have significant differences both physically and mentally. Men generally have deeper voices, taller heights, and more dense hair. Women are generally more delicate psychologically. All these differences are actually closely related to a major system in our body, the endocrine system.

Strictly speaking, all organs or tissues in the human body that can metabolize growth hormones belong to our endocrine system. The growth hormone that causes significant differences in the physical and psychological states of men and women is estrogen. In fact, both men and women have both estrogen and androgen in their bodies, but they have different dominance. Men are dominated by androgen composed of testosterone, while women are dominated by estrogen and female hormones.

Since we have two kinds of growth hormone in our body, the ratio of them seems to be very important. Whether the growth hormone is too high or too low, it will have a significant impact on the body, and it is usually negative. So if a man lacks testosterone, what will happen and what are the main manifestations?

1. Blindness is affected

Androgens can help children build skeletal muscle and promote the rate of basal metabolism, so they also play a key role in development. If estrogen deficiency occurs during childhood or adolescence, development may be affected, leading to developmental retardation. In addition, the appearance of male secondary sexual characteristics also depends on androgens, so once it is deficient, the expression of secondary sexual characteristics will also be affected.

2. Maintain sexual desire and reproductive function

For adults, the stability of androgen is actually very important. Androgen helps adult men maintain a certain sexual desire, which in turn has a significant impact on the harmony of the couple's sexual life. Therefore, if there is a lack of androgen, men may experience a decrease in sexual desire, and it may also affect reproductive function, impotence, premature ejaculation and even infertility.

3. Causes metabolic problems such as obesity

Not all "fat heads and big ears" are caused by excessive diet and intake of too much high-fat food. If men lack testosterone, it will also affect the content of body fat in the body, causing it to increase and thus causing obesity. In addition, due to the disorder of the endocrine system, it may further cause other metabolic problems.
