Testosterone aids in achieving and maintaining healthy erections.  Some medications can interfere with erections as can certain medical conditions.  A medical exam is crucial to determine the exact cause.

In addition to severe fatigue, men with low testosterone often lose their drive and initiative. Despite getting plenty of sleep, men suffering from low testosterone often find it difficult to get motivated to conquer daily activities.

Low testosterone levels are linked with an increased risk of anemia.  Some of the symptoms of anemia include difficulty concentrating, leg cramping, problems sleeping and an abnormally rapid heart rate.

Because testosterone plays a role in muscle building, a decrease in muscle mass, despite regular physical activities, can be attributed to low testosterone.

Research suggests that men with low testosterone are more likely to experience irritability, a lack of focus and depression due to testosterone's role in bodily functions.  too often, antidepressant treatments are prescribed without consideration for testosterone levels.

Testosterone helps produce and strengthen bone tissues.  Men with low testosterone levels have lower bone volume and are more susceptible to bone fractures.  The medical term for bone thinning is Osteoporosis.
