Symptoms include low testosterone, low energy, fatigue, and a lower sexual drive. [my.clevelandclinic.org]

Typical symptoms include a low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, infertility, fatigue, weight gain and enlarged breasts. Over time, hypogonadism can lead to bone loss, which increases the risk of fractures. [nyhq.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]
