10 Signs of Low Testosterone in Women | ActiveBeat

Many of us might not consider testosterone, a hormone in the androgen (or male) category, as vital for women. However, a womans sexual health can be extremely affected by decreased testosterone levels (or low T).

Testosterone hormone in women is emitted from the ovaries and adrenal glands, with levels of the hormone naturally increasing during puberty and pregnancy and decreasing with age and the onset of menopause. However, a sudden drop in testosterone can affect a womans libido, energy levels, and mood.

Here are ten common signs of low testosterone in women

Women with decreased testosterone levels often notice a sudden drop in their energy levels. This can manifest in several ways; you may have a hard time finding the energy to get out of bed in the morning, or you just may feel drained of energy throughout the day. Physical activities which dont normally cause fatigue may leave you feeling spent or exhausted, and you may struggle to get through what would otherwise be a normal day or work or leisure.

One of the telltale signs that your chronic fatigue may have an underlying cause (and could therefore be related to low testosterone levels) is that is is unrelieved by sleep. In other words, if youre finding yourself chronically tired even though youre getting lots of sleep at night or supplementing with naps throughout the day, a hormone deficiency could be the underlying problem. However, lots of medical conditions can cause fatigue, so youll have to see a doctor for a diagnosis.
