A lot of times, this happens because the symptoms can be passed off as “normal signs of getting older” or even symptoms of other conditions unrelated to low-testosterone. It also stems from a lack of understanding of what low-testosterone is and how it can affect you as a male.

These drops correlate with other health symptoms you may be experiencing such as cardiovascular disease and obesity.
