Patients say the darndest things. It starts with a list symptoms, but ultimately, they simply say they are “tired of feeling like crap”. While I honestly feel bad for them, I am also very happy to hear them say that, because nine times out of ten I know exactly how to fix it.
Every patient will have different symptoms. Some will be mild; some will be more extreme and negatively impact their daily lives. The thing they have in common is the cause. All patients report some combination of the following:
- Fatigue or needing naps
- Erectile dysfunction
- Lack of interest in sex or reduced sex drive
- Not getting the same results from working out
- Putting on weight or not able to lose weight
- Loss of muscle mass or strength
- Muscle and joint soreness from minor activities, like yard work
- Trouble with concentration, focus, or memory
- Feeling depressed or indifferent about things that once mattered
- Easily irritated and short-tempered
- Not feeling like themselves, hence the feeling like crap
Most of the time, men recognize that something is off, but sometimes, a friend, family member, or significant other clues them in on the change in them. However they realize the symptoms exist is fine, what is important is that they do something about it. By not addressing these changes, they will get worse. Eventually, it starts to impact work performance, relationships, and self-esteem.
