For me, insomnia, loss of body hair, nausea/weight loss and anorgasmia. I've been lucky and not had the hot flashes so many other guys talk about. The weight loss was good in the beginning--I lost the 15 pounds I gained during the pandemic, but since then have lost 20 more and am starting to look gaunt.
I had real severe hot flashes. You will probably get some brain fog after a few months. Your muscles do atrophy, doing weight training and walking regularly can help. Many people get fatigue, which the exercising can offset.
Most people just lose the desire for sex, you don’t think about it much. I know a couple of guys who were real horn dogs that said they really like the fact that happened, it was somewhat of a relief. Might’ve saved their marriages too.
These are all common side effects.
For me personally the thing I notice most is hot flashes. Initially, they were very bothersome, but they’ve become manageable over the past five months. The second thing I’ve noticed is loss of muscle tone and mass. I do resistance training 4 to 5 days a week and that helps stem the loss. I recommend doing that.
Loss of libido and ED also go hand in hand for most men that I’ve talked to.
Good luck on your journey.
