Testosterone Therapy

Understanding Testosterone

Testosterone is a vital hormone predominantly produced in the testes of men. It plays a crucial role in developing both primary and secondary male sexual characteristics, including the growth of male reproductive organs, muscle mass, and facial hair. Beyond these physical attributes, testosterone regulates libido, sexual function, sperm production, and fat metabolism.

What Happens When Testosterone Levels Decline?

As men enter their mid-20s, testosterone production gradually decreases, often leading to noticeable symptoms by age 30. Common signs of reduced testosterone include lower libido, difficulty achieving or maintaining erections, decreased muscle mass, increased body fat, mood changes, trouble concentrating, and an unfavorable cholesterol profile.

Hypogonadism

Male hypogonadism occurs when the body doesn’t produce adequate testosterone, essential for masculine development during puberty.

Andropause

Andropause, often compared to menopause, occurs gradually over time, typically between the mid-40s and early 70s. During this phase, men may experience a significant decline in testosterone, often around 50%. Symptoms can include increased body fat, decreased muscle mass, reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, cognitive decline, and depression.
