12 Disorders Caused by Testosterone Deficiency in the Body

Low testosterone hormones cause serious mental and physical disorders in men. I have listed 12 of them below.

  • Decrease in sexual desire (Libido), decrease in night erections, loss of productivity.
  • Decrease in bone density (osteoporosis), danger of fracture in bones.
  • Decrease in muscle mass and muscle strength, muscle aches, complaints about joints, decrease in lean muscle mass, increase in fat in the abdominal area.
  • Sensitive, dry skin.
  • Decrease in armpit and body hair. , decrease in beard growth.
  • Decrease in red blood cells, anemia, fatigue.
  • Hot flashes, tachycardia, depression, decrease in mental activities, poor concentration, sleep disorders.
  • There is a reciprocal relationship between testosterone deficiency and abdominal excess weight: According to research, pro-inflammatory substances produced by abdominal fat cells lead to a decrease in testosterone levels. On the other hand, the decrease in testosterone causes fat formation in the abdominal area.
  • Low testosterone levels increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. It has been reported that there is a negative linear relationship between testosterone levels and the severity of coronary artery disease.
  • Obesity reduces testosterone levels by decreasing sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) levels. Morbid obesity also reduces free testosterone levels.
  • It has been shown that 20%–64% of obese men have low serum total and free testosterone levels. A negative linear relationship has been found between visceral obesity and testosterone levels, more so than other types of obesity.
  • Insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes have also been associated with low plasma testosterone levels and decreased insulin sensitivity after testosterone replacement. An improvement has been reported.
