Low Testosterone – Causes and Symptoms
Testosterone for Life – Dr. Abraham Morgentaler
Thanks to the media and years of conditioning, we all know the gender roles we’re supposed to assume. Boys are supposed to grow up to be big, strong, sexually aggressive men, and girls are supposed to grow up to be slim, gentle, nurturing, and sexually pliable women. These roles would be great except that someone forgot to tell nature that we’re all supposed to think and act the same way. Thanks to unpredictable hormones, conditions like low testosterone can leave some men wondering why they’re having such a problem living up to their macho expectations.
Many men haven’t heard of low testosterone as a serious condition which could affect their libido and development, so it’s important to start the discussion by addressing its definition and causes. Testosterone is a steroid hormone that is present in both male and female humans. In the male body, the testosterone is created in the testes, and in the female, testosterone is created in the ovaries. Obviously, testosterone is most associated with the hormonal changes and sexual performance of the males, but it’s important to know that it is essential in both sexes. It’s also important to note that the hormone performs similar tasks in both males and females.

In males, testosterone production is managed by the hormones in the brain and used by the body to trigger the development of male sex organs. It is also used to initiate the development of secondary male characteristics, like voice changes and the hair growth patterns, in both sexes. Testosterone is also used to facilitate the growth of muscle mass in the body, which is why low testosterone can be such a problem, even when sexual activity isn’t the issue. In males, the testosterone is the dominant hormone, while it is not in females.
Symptoms of low testosterone can be varied, especially when comparing their effects between the sexes, however there are some common signs that you can look for in both males and females. Infertility and a noticeably decreased sexual drive are two common signs that there may be an inadequate amount of testosterone in the body. Erectile dysfunction, hair loss, and a decreased muscle mass are male specific symptoms. Women have been known to show hot flashes, trouble sleeping, irritability, and loss of bone mass when they are suffering from an imbalance in testosterone levels. If you think you might be dealing with this problem, talk to you doctor or gynecologist right away.
