Starting from 40s, the testosterone production gradually plummets. 

So what are the symptoms? 

Low libido: Decreased sex drive is a common symptom as testosterone levels decline.

Erectile dysfunction: Difficulty achieving or maintaining erections may occur.

Fatigue: General tiredness and lack of energy are frequently reported.

Loss of muscle mass: Testosterone plays a role in maintaining muscle mass, so a decrease can lead to muscle weakness or loss.

Increased body fat: Particularly around the abdomen, as testosterone levels decline, fat distribution may change.

Mood changes: Irritability, depression, and decreased motivation can occur.

Decreased bone density: Lower testosterone levels can contribute to osteoporosis or bone thinning.

Sleep disturbances: Insomnia or other sleep issues may arise.

Though these are some symptoms, it is not common that all these manifest themselves in all men. So therefore, it is always advised to seek the help of a medical profession.
