You Have A Decreased Desire For Sex<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decreased sex drive is often associated with low testosterone levels since testosterone is the major male sex hormone and plays an important role in sperm production, the development of the penis and testes, and your overall libido, says Pearlman. So, if you notice you\u2019re less aroused\u2014or less satisfied by sex\u2014than usual, check in with your doctor to have your T levels tested. A lack of the hormone could be messing with your mojo.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. You Struggle To Achieve Or Maintain An Erection<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Testosterone helps you achieve or maintain an erection because the hormone sends a direct signal to your brain to produce nitric oxide, which triggers the series of chemical reactions necessary for an erection to occur, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S2050052119300137\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">per a 2019 study published in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sexual Medicine Reviews<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. And while other factors may contribute to erectile dysfunction, such as stress, tiredness, or drinking too much alcohol, if you continually have trouble getting hard or your erections feel flimsier than usual, low T could be the culprit, making some testing warranted.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. You\u2019re Losing Facial Or Body Hair\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While testosterone does not directly cause hair loss, it is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK557634\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">responsible for producing dihydrotestosterone<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (DHT), which is the hormone responsible for the development of male characteristics such as facial hair, pubic hair, and body hair. Imbalanced testosterone levels can cause you to produce too much DHT, which can then shrink your hair follicles and reduce the hair growth cycle, ultimately resulting in hair loss, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/articles\/24555-dht-dihydrotestosterone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">according to the Cleveland Clinic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This typically happens on the top of your scalp and causes your hairline to recede, but you may also experience the loss of body hair, adds Musleh.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. You Have Low Energy And Constantly Feel Fatigued\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s normal to feel tired every once in a while, but chronic fatigue may be a sign of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/lifestyle-factors-testosterone-levels\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">low T levels<\/a>, says Pearlman. Because testosterone is a hormone that contributes to overall energy and feeling of vitality, men with low testosterone may feel extra tired all the time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/exercise-testosterone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">This Is How Working Out Affects Your Testosterone Levels<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To improve energy levels and fatigue, it\u2019s important to first start with lifestyle modifications such as eating well, getting adequate sleep, exercising regularly, and reducing stress levels, explains Pearlman. If fatigue continues to bring you down, schedule a visit with your doc to check in on your hormone levels. \u201cIf someone reports fatigue that impacts their ability to engage in meaningful and productive daily activities, that is reason enough to be concerned and seek healthcare advice,\u201d Pearlman says. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;In my clinical experience treating men for low testosterone, many of report improved energy and vitality.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. You\u2019re Continually Sad Or Grumpy<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unusual feels may be a lesser-known symptom of skewed testosterone, but males with both high and low T levels can experience mood changes, says Pearlman. You see, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0924977X12001095\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shows that cells in the brain that directly impact your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/neuroscience\/limbic-system\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">limbic system<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014which is responsible for your behavior and emotional responses\u2014actually have testosterone receptors. If you feel sad, depressed, or are experiencing mood swings, changes in T levels could be to blame.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6. You\u2019ve Gained Weight Or Lost Muscle Mass\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Testosterone is a must-have for building muscle and bone mass, so sudden and seemingly unexplainable decreases in muscle mass could reflect dipping T levels, according to Musleh.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/boost-testosterone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">5 Things You Can Do To Boost Your Testosterone<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low T can also contribute to increased body fat and weight gain. In some cases, an imbalance of testosterone and estrogen in the body can cause enlarged breast tissue in men, a condition called gynecomastia, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/gynecomastia\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20351793\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">according to the Mayo Clinic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If you\u2019re suddenly packing on the pounds\u2014and even noticing it accumulating in your chest\u2014it\u2019s certainly not a bad idea to check out where your testosterone levels stand.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>7. Your Memory Is Slipping<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sure, memory is known to decline with age, but experiencing memory loss or struggling to concentrate in your younger years is worth talking to your doctor about, as it could be a consequence of low T levels, according to Pearlman. Though we don\u2019t currently have a crystal-clear understanding of exactly how testosterone influences cognition, Pearlman and Musleh have patients report that they experience less brain fog after getting their testosterone levels into a healthy place. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ajgponline.org\/article\/S1064-7481(19)30363-X\/fulltext\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> backs this up, too, suggesting that hormonal testosterone supplements help improve memory in older men with low testosterone levels. (This<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ajgponline.org\/article\/S1064-7481(19)30363-X\/fulltext\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 2019 study published in the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a good example.)<\/span><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><b>Taking Back Your T<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5422691\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> suggests that anywhere from 10 to 40 percent of men globally have testosterone deficiency, the possibility of having low T is certainly nothing to be ashamed about\u2014or to ignore!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re experiencing any of the above symptoms, visit your primary care physician, urologist, or endocrinologist for a simple blood test. If that initial test detects low testosterone levels, your doctor will typically follow it up with another test or two to confirm, says Musleh. From there, they\u2019ll work with you to figure out the best treatment plan for your needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typically, this will include lifestyle factors like physical activity, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/tips-for-easing-stress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stress reduction<\/a>, and getting adequate amounts of sleep. Think seven to nine hours of sleep a night, prioritizing your mental health by making time for relaxing activities, and incorporating resistance training at least three times a week, explains Pearlman. Additionally, for those who are overweight, losing a few pounds also supports healthier testosterone production, adds Musleh. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Complementing these lifestyle changes with<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/protein-fitness\/popular\/testosterone-boosters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">supplements known to promote healthy testosterone levels<\/a>\u00a0can also help move the needle in the right direction. A few <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/boost-testosterone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">popular options<\/a>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/vitamins-supplements\/minerals\/zinc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">zinc<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/vitamins-supplements\/letter-vitamins\/vitamin-d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vitamin D<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/herbs-natural-remedies\/popular-herbs\/ashwagandha\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ashwagandha<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/tongkat-ali\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tongkat ali<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/ultimate-man-black-maca-60-vegetable-capsules\/vs-0989\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">black maca<\/a>. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If lifestyle changes are unsuccessful, your physician may prescribe testosterone replacement therapy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also worth noting that, while women typically take an annual opportunity to check in with a gynecologist about their reproductive and sexual health, men do not seek out the same specialty care. \u201cA lot of men have questions and need to understand that there is a place for them in the healthcare system,\u201d explains Pearlman. \u201cIf you\u2019re functioning in a way that is not how you want to function, you can get help for that and it\u2019s great to be vocal and ask questions.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make it a point to talk to your doctor at your annual physical about reproductive care and sexual health. If needed, they can refer you to a specialist. \u201cThe biggest thing is seeing a physician who has a real interest in male hormonal deficiencies, whether that be a primary care provider, urologist, or endocrinologist,\u201d says Pearlman. Reproductive health is a critical component of our overall wellbeing, so don\u2019t allow it to get overlooked.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s more important than ever to address the state of male hormonal health. \u201cStudies suggest that sperm counts have declined by more than fifty percent over the last few decades, and there is evidence that environmental, lifestyle, and social factors may be contributing to this trend,\u201d explains Jamin Brahmbhatt, M.D., a urologist at Orlando Health.\u00a0<a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/test-your-testosterone-levels\/\">Read More <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">7 Signs You Should Have Your Testosterone Levels Tested<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":261,"featured_media":31210,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[286,5,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31205","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-editors-picks","category-health","category-the-latest"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>7 Signs You Should Have Your Testosterone Levels Tested<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A number of factors can influence testosterone levels.
