Low testosterone can make you feel very tired and less motivated. Signs include chronic fatigue, difficulty concentrating, lower physical stamina, and sometimes mood changes.
Some men with low testosterone notice that they feel low on energy almost every day. This means they get tired quickly even when doing simple things. They might not have the usual pep in their step or feel excited about activities. Along with feeling weak physically, they can also have trouble focusing on tasks and might feel a bit foggy or slow in thinking. For example, a man might feel that everyday work feels extra hard and that he doesn’t have the strength he used to. In some cases, being tired all the time can also lead to feeling a bit down or moody. These signs are part of what happens when the body doesn't have enough testosterone to keep the energy levels up. It's important to remember that many things, like sleep or diet, can also affect energy. If someone notices these changes and feels constantly worn out, talking to a doctor would be a good idea. The doctor can help figure out if low testosterone is playing a part and suggest ways to boost energy.
