Low T symptoms like headaches can seriously disrupt your daily life.
While an occasional headache is pretty normal, many people suffer from chronic and severe types like migraines and cluster headaches.

Low T Might Be Triggering Your Headaches
Medical experts have long recognized there may be a connection between hormones and headaches, and recent studies do confirm a potential link between testosterone and headaches. Results show that men who experience chronic headaches like migraines and cluster headaches are also more likely to suffer from low testosterone. This may mean that low T can lead to headaches or make you more susceptible to chronic headache issues. Two studies from recent years show an interesting relationship between the two.
Why Testosterone Might Reduce Your Risk for Headaches
There are many theories on why healthy testosterone levels are associated with a lower risk for headaches. Here are a few ways that testosterone treatment might help reduce your risk for headaches and migraines:
- It may prevent cortical spreading depression (CSD), which is basically a wave of disruptions in the electrical activity in your brain, which is commonly associated with migraines and migraine aura.
- Testosterone may increase serotonin. Low serotonin and fluctuating serotonin levels in the brain is linked with migraines and headaches.
- It may help widen blood vessels in the brain to prevent pain from extra pressure on narrow vessels that can lead to headaches.
- Testosterone may reduce swelling and inflammation in the brain, which can lead to headaches and other symptoms.
