Many of them may not even realize that the cause of their health woes is a shortage of this all-important hormone and may not seek treatment for their hypogonadism. What happens if low testosterone goes untreated?<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What Are the Risks of Not Treating Low Testosterone?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hormones define and influence how our bodies work in many ways and on many levels. A hormonal shortage or overabundance can cause far-reaching and interdependent health problems.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you suffer from low testosterone, you may experience physical, mental, and emotional changes. Low T also boosts your risk of developing chronic health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhlbi.nih.gov\/health\/metabolic-syndrome\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">metabolic syndrome<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Interestingly, these health conditions may <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fendo.2019.00916\/full\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">also cause<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> low testosterone as part of a vicious circle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you leave your low T untreated, you increase the likelihood of developing further complications in addition to the problems you already have.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How can low testosterone cause health problems?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Low T Causes Physical Changes<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Testosterone is the hormone of virility. With adequate levels of it flowing through your body, you feel good and function well as a man. When levels are low, you\u2019re likely to experience some effects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How low can testosterone levels go? Your testosterone should be in the 300-1,000 nanograms per deciliter of blood range. In general, a level <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fendo.2019.00916\/full\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">below 300 ng\/dL<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is considered low, though some doctors only consider T levels below 250 ng\/dL too low.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loss of Muscle Mass\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When your testosterone levels drop below 300 ng\/dL, you may start losing muscle mass.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Left untreated, low T can accelerate the signs of aging.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased Fat Storage\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not having enough testosterone causes your body to accumulate more fat, most likely in the belly area. Left untreated, the problem will likely persist, further boosting your waist circumference. Over time, belly fat can cause metabolic syndrome, which can lead to obesity and heart disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loss of Bone Density\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to reducing muscle mass and increasing the body\u2019s tendency to accumulate fat, low T can also weaken the bones. Among its many other roles, testosterone is essential for bone health. When you don\u2019t have enough of it, your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/smr\/article-abstract\/3\/4\/298\/6827643?redirectedFrom=fulltext&amp;login=false\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bones may become brittle<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Left untreated, hypogonadism can lead to osteoporosis and increase your physical limitations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loss of Energy\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the body loses strength and flexibility, it also loses the will to move and boost the muscles through exercise. When low testosterone goes untreated, low energy levels persist, further contributing to the decline of the body and the quality of life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low Libido\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low testosterone levels affect your interest in sexual activities. If you leave your low T untreated, you risk developing a permanent inability to achieve an erection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Erectile Dysfunction\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to playing a key role in the development of the male body, testosterone is also essential for sexual function in adulthood. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/erectile-dysfunction\/qa-does-ed-mean-i-have-low-testosterone\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low levels of testosterone<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can lead to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.urologyhealth.org\/urology-a-z\/l\/low-testosterone\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">erectile dysfunction<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smaller Testicles\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you age, your body produces less and less testosterone. By the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/3901029\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">age of 80<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, around 80% of men have low testosterone levels. Testicular function also declines as testosterone dries up. In some men, low testosterone levels can cause testicular shrinkage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Less Body Hair\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Testosterone plays an essential role in the development of secondary male characteristics. When its levels in the body decline, these secondary characteristics, like body hair and beard, may suffer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Low T Can Cause Mental and Emotional Changes<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low T can alter your quality of life. As your quality of life declines, you may encounter mental and emotional changes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depression and Irritability\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low testosterone can affect your mood. It is not uncommon to experience a lack of focus, irritability, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/mens-health\/can-low-testosterone-cause-depression\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">depression<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> when low T drains your body of energy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loss of Confidence\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With their strength and vitality suffering, many men with low T lose confidence. Some retreat from physical activity, further damaging their bodies and their self-confidence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Memory Problems\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hypogonadal men often have trouble focusing and remembering things. By leaving low T untreated, you may expose yourself to conditions like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/32602403\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alzheimer\u2019s disease and dementia<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lack of Motivation\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Motivation requires energy. When you don\u2019t feel like getting out of bed, it\u2019s difficult to muster the motivation to go for a morning jog. Men with low T may develop a chronic lack of motivation. Without testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), hypogonadal patients may suffer setbacks and lack meaningful progress in life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sleep Problems\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of low testosterone\u2019s far-reaching mental consequences is bad sleep quality. Men with low T often sleep less, awaken more often, and fail to achieve <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2453053\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">adequate sleep quality<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> night after night.

High blood sugar may also be a part of the syndrome.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These risk factors can combine to further depress testosterone levels and increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Metabolic syndrome and low T also increase your risk of obesity and cancer. Interestingly, however, low testosterone can <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0302283818305463\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">decrease your risk<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of developing prostate cancer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The Bottom Line<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, can low testosterone cause health problems?
