Testosterone

What is testosterone?

Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone responsible for the development and maintenance of male characteristics. This vital androgen plays a crucial role in several areas:

Testosterone and Development

• Testosterone drives the development of male secondary sex characteristics during puberty, leading to deeper voice, increased muscle mass, body and facial hair growth, and spermatogenesis (sperm production)


• Optimal testosterone levels are essential for normal male sexual function and libido


• Testosterone contributes to bone density, helping reach peak strength and density during adolescence

Testosterone Decline

• After age 30, men's testosterone levels gradually fall by about 1% per year


• Low testosterone (low T) can lead to loss of muscle mass, increased body fat, erectile dysfunction, reduced energy and mood issues


• Seeking treatment can help restore healthy testosterone function and reverse associated effects

Optimizing Testosterone

There are various ways to promote healthy testosterone levels:

• Adopt lifestyle measures like strength training, adequate sleep and nutrition, and stress management


• Testosterone replacement therapy may be appropriate for some men with clinically low testosterone
