Low androgen levels, also known as low testosterone, can lead to a variety of physical and psychological symptoms. The following are some possible manifestations: 1. **Decreased libido**: Reduced sexual desire may be one of the earliest and most noticeable signs of declining androgen levels. 2. **Reduced physical stamina**: Feelings of fatigue, weakness, or diminished muscle strength may occur, possibly related to decreased energy levels and reduced muscle synthesis. 3. **Loss of body hair**: Facial and body hair may become thinner or grow more slowly. 4. **Hair loss**: Androgens influence hair growth, and low levels may lead to male-pattern baldness or premature hair loss. 5. **Mood changes**: Symptoms such as mood swings, depression, difficulty concentrating, or memory decline may occur. 6. **Sleep disturbances**: Poor sleep quality or insomnia may develop. Please note that if you experience the above symptoms, you should seek medical attention promptly.
