Testosterone - Hormone Harmony Clinic

What is testosterone?

Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone responsible for the development and maintenance of male characteristics. Some key points about testosterone:

• Testosterone is an androgenic steroid hormone primarily secreted from the testes in males and the ovaries in females.
• It plays a vital role in puberty, promoting the development of male secondary sexual characteristics like:
  • growth of body and facial hair
  • deepening of the voice
  • increased muscle and bone mass
  • growth of genitalia
• Testosterone helps maintain:
  • muscle mass
  • bone density
  • red blood cell production
  • libido (sex drive)
  • sperm production
  • fat distribution
  • mood and energy levels

So in essence, testosterone is the hormone that makes men masculine!

Fun fact: Females also produce testosterone at around 1/10th the levels of males.

Now, testosterone levels peak during adolescence and early adulthood. As men age, testosterone levels gradually decrease. By ages 40-50, over 20% of men experience low T levels resulting in troublesome symptoms like:

• low sex drive
• erectile dysfunction
• reduced muscle mass
• increased body fat
• loss of facial/body hair
• mood issues and low energy

The symptoms of low testosterone can significantly impact quality of life. If you're struggling with this, know that you don't have to suffer in silence!
