Low Testosterone (Hypogonadism)

Low testosterone, or hypogonadism, occurs when the body does not produce enough testosterone, leading to fatigue, decreased libido, muscle loss, and mood changes

Prevalence: approximately 4-5 million men in the US

Chronic Fatigue

Persistent fatigue and low energy levels that interfere with daily activities and quality of life, often linked to hormonal imbalances including low testosterone

Prevalence: up to 40% of men with low T report chronic fatigue

Erectile Dysfunction

The inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity, which can be caused or worsened by low testosterone levels

Prevalence: approximately 30 million men in the US

Muscle Loss (Sarcopenia)

Progressive loss of muscle mass and strength, accelerated by testosterone deficiency and aging, leading to weakness and reduced physical function

Prevalence: affects 10-30% of men over 60

Depression and Mood Changes

Persistent feelings of sadness, irritability, lack of motivation, and cognitive fog that can be linked to hormonal imbalances including testosterone deficiency

Prevalence: men with low T are 4x more likely to experience depression

Decreased bone mineral density leading to fragile bones and increased fracture risk, which is worsened by chronic testosterone deficiency

Prevalence: affects about 2 million men in the US
