Symptom 5: Loss of Muscle Mass: Where Did My Strength Go?
Testosterone is a critical hormone for maintaining and building muscle mass. If you’re experiencing low testosterone, you might notice a decrease in muscle size or strength, despite maintaining a regular exercise routine.
This loss of muscle mass can be particularly frustrating for those who have put in the effort to build and maintain their strength. In some cases, low T can also lead to decreased physical endurance and an overall decline in athletic performance.
While a certain degree of muscle loss is a natural part of aging, a more rapid or noticeable decline in muscle mass could be indicative of low testosterone. Consult with a healthcare professional to discuss potential causes and explore treatment options if you’re concerned about your muscle mass or strength. (5)
