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

Prevalence: affects 10-30% of men over 60
