Testosterone is a crucial hormone that plays many key roles, especially in men. As the primary male sex hormone, testosterone is responsible for the development of male reproductive tissues and secondary sexual characteristics during puberty. In men, testosterone also helps maintain muscle mass, bone density, red blood cell production, sex drive, mood, cognitive function, and overall vitality.
Some key facts about testosterone:
- Produced mainly by the testes in men, with a small amount also made in the adrenal glands
- Levels peak during adolescence and early adulthood, then gradually decline with age
- Low testosterone (low T) can lead to adverse effects on men's health
Signs and symptoms of low testosterone:
- Decreased sex drive and erectile dysfunction
- Loss of muscle mass and strength
- Increased body fat and reduced bone density
- Fatigue, irritability, depression
- Reduction in facial and body hair
If you're experiencing potential symptoms of
low T, consult with your doctor. A simple blood test can determine if a
testosterone deficiency is present.
Treatment options for
low testosterone include:
- Testosterone replacement therapy - restoring testosterone levels via gels, injections, patches or pellets
- Lifestyle changes - weight loss, exercise, diet, stress reduction
- Medications - clomiphene citrate, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) to stimulate natural testosterone production
