TESTOSTERONE DisorderS

Testosterone is often associated with male health, but it plays an important role in both men and women. It supports muscle mass, bone strength, mood stability, energy levels, and sexual health. When testosterone levels are too low or, in some cases, too high, it can lead to symptoms that affect your quality of life in noticeable ways.

Common symptoms and conditions related to testosterone imbalance may include:

• Low libido or sexual dysfunction

• Chronic fatigue or low energy

• Mood changes, including irritability or depression

• Loss of muscle mass or strength

• Weight gain, especially around the abdomen

• Decreased bone density

• Hair thinning or loss

• Irregular or absent periods in women

Testosterone disorders can be caused by aging, chronic illness, stress, certain medications, or underlying endocrine conditions. Diagnosis requires a full picture, symptoms, lab testing, and a careful review of your overall health.
