Muscle Loss

Muscle Loss: A Common Symptom of Low Testosterone

Loss of skeletal muscle mass, known as sarcopenia, occurs as we age. Studies indicate that there is a 20% loss of skeletal muscle in healthy men between 30 to 70 years of age. As with many symptoms of andropause, muscle loss is a symptom that many men assume is “a natural part of aging.” In reality, age-related muscle loss is often caused by male hormone imbalance. Like other andropause symptoms, muscle loss can be reversed or prevented through treatment

Testosterone plays a major role in muscle tone and strength. When testosterone levels decrease, the muscle cells atrophy (shrink), which results in decreased muscle mass and tone. Symptoms of muscle loss include musculoskeletal weakness and loss of stamina, which can interfere with physical activity. Lack of physical activity, in turn, further reduces muscle mass
