5. Low Libido
Of course, you might have guessed by now that testosterone is a hormone that regulates a lot more than just how deep your voice gets or where you grow hair: It’s the hormone responsible for regulating your libido – that is, your sex drive. If you are experiencing any changes in sex drive that can be called unusual, you should make an appointment with your doctor to find out if the cause could be your hormones.
Lowered testosterone levels will lead to a sudden decrease in sex drive, and increased testosterone levels will do the opposite. There can be other causes behind a lowered sex drive, including depression, so be sure to make an appointment with your doctor so that the cause of your sex drive changes can be confirmed.
In most cases, it’s simple enough to fix the symptoms of lowered testosterone and depending on the cause, it should be remedied by taking hormonal supplements prescribed by your doctor to keep your hormones in check.
