If low testosterone in men causes mood issues like anxiety, depression, low confidence, low energy, do women also experience this?
In: 5524
Women can also experience symptoms like anxiety, low energy, decreased confidence, and depression due to low testosterone. Despite the common association of testosterone with masculinity, women also produce this hormone, but in much lower amounts compared to men. So for a woman to experience low testosterone symptoms, her levels would have to be a lot lower than that of a man. However, testosterone is vital for both men and women in regulating mood and physical and mental health.
When women have low levels of testosterone, they may also experience fatigue, reduced libido, mood swings and might have some muscle mass loss. But low testosterone is not the only possible cause of these symptoms in women. Other factors, such as hormonal imbalances (more closely related to estrogen and progesterone than testosterone) or their monthly cycles, thyroid issues, and stress are more likely to produce these symptoms in women.
