Symptoms include low testosterone, low energy, fatigue, and a lower sexual drive.[my.clevelandclinic.org]
This is largely because the symptoms of hypogonadism are nearly identical to those experienced by men going through andropause (the male menopause): low libido, fatigue, depression, memory loss, difficulty concentrating, and irritability.[bodylogicmd.com]
