Signs of Low Testosterone
Low testosterone can manifest through several physical symptoms in men, indicating a hormonal imbalance. Increased breast tissue, a phenomenon where men develop 'man boobs,' occurs due to a rise in estrogen levels as testosterone decreases, reflecting a feminization process. Other signs include shrinking testicles and reduced muscle mass, as testosterone is crucial for muscle development. Additionally, men may experience reduced semen production, diminished body hair, and symptoms associated with andropause, such as hot flashes, which are often mistaken as a condition solely affecting women.
