The decline of testosterone can be very bothersome and

cause a significant decrease in the quality of life. Many

men experience symptoms of this decline in testosterone.

Some symptoms are:

• Decrease in muscle mass
• Increase in fat
• Decreased libido
• Depressed mood
• Difficulty achieving and maintaining erections
• Decreased energy
• Poor performance at work
• Trouble concentrating

In addition to bothersome quality of life symptoms,

evidence suggests that low levels of testosterone are

associated with more serious health risks such as:

• Cardiovascular disease (this includes an increase risk of heart attack and poor circulation)

• Osteoporosis (with decreasing levels, men in their 40’s begin to loose bone thickness and

  are at risk for fractures)
