What are the symptoms of low testosterone?

I was just diagnosed with low testosterone after being tested by mydoctor. I set an appointment with him because I wasn’t really interested in sex, which is unlike me. He told me that a poor sex drive is one of the symptoms. What other signs should I look out for?

Aside from poor sex drive, other symptoms include poor sleep, mood swings, fatigue, loss of nighttime erections while you sleep and diminished exercise ability.

There are many symptoms for low testosterone (also called hypogonadism). Some of these symptoms include: a low sex drive, erectile disfunction, fatigue (always tired), muscle loss, increase in fat, decrease in facial and body hair, loss of bone mass, infertility, shrinking testicles, achy muscles, shyness, depression, irritability, trouble sleeping, frequent urination and an overall reduced quality of life.
