Feeling Tired, Low or Unmotivated? Signs of Low Testosterone in Men

Could Low Testosterone Be to Blame for Your Fatigue?

Are you feeling persistently tired, struggling with a low mood or lacking motivation? Many men in the UK experience these symptoms and often put them down to stress or ageing. However, low testosterone might be playing a role.

What is Testosterone and Why Does It Matter?

Testosterone is the main male sex hormone, produced mainly in the testicles. It not only regulates sexual health and fertility, but also affects energy, muscle strength, and mental wellbeing.

Common Symptoms That Could Point to Low Testosterone:

• Low energy or motivation
• Reduced sex drive or problems with erections
• Poor sleep or difficulty concentrating
• Muscle weakness or weight gain
• Mood changes like irritability or feeling down

If these symptoms sound familiar and have lasted for more than a few weeks, it may be time to check your testosterone levels.

Understanding the Science — In Simple Terms

Testosterone levels naturally decline with age. Some men experience a greater drop — called testosterone deficiency — which can impact all aspects of health. Factors such as obesity, chronic illness, stress, and some medications may also reduce levels.

What Can You Do About Low Testosterone?

• Maintain a healthy weight
• Exercise regularly
• Reduce alcohol and avoid smoking
• Manage stress
• Get good quality sleep

Sometimes, simple lifestyle changes can help. But if symptoms persist, consider getting your testosterone tested.
