Male Hormone Health: Understanding FSH and What Your Symptoms Might Mean

Are you experiencing low energy, mood swings, or changes in libido?

Hormone imbalances in men are often overlooked, but symptoms like fatigue, decreased sex drive, and difficulty concentrating may be linked to your body’s levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).

What is FSH and why is it important for men?

FSH stimulates sperm production in the testes and is vital for fertility. Aberrant levels can indicate issues with your pituitary gland or testicular function. Learn more from the NHS guide.

What symptoms should men look out for?

• Low sex drive
• Poor energy or stamina
• Mood changes or feelings of depression
• Reduced muscle mass
• Difficulty with fertility

Action steps for better hormone balance

• Get regular exercise, reduce alcohol and quit smoking
• Eat a balanced diet rich in vegetables, healthy fats, and lean protein
