What is testosterone?

Testosterone is a hormone produced primarily in the testicles. Testosterone helps maintain men’s:

  • Bone density
  • Fat distribution
  • Muscle strength and mass
  • Facial and body hair
  • Red blood cell production
  • Sex drive
  • Sperm production

What happens to testosterone levels with age?

Testosterone levels generally peak during adolescence and early adulthood. As you age, your testosterone level gradually declines — typically about 1% a year after age 30 or 40.

Does a naturally declining testosterone level cause the signs and symptoms of aging?

Not necessarily. Men can have many signs and symptoms as they age. Some that might occur as a result of lower testosterone levels can include:

  • Changes in sexual function. This might include reduced sexual desire, fewer spontaneous erections — such as during sleep — and infertility.
  • Physical changes. Various physical changes are possible, including increased body fat, reduced muscle bulk and strength, and decreased bone density. Swollen or tender breasts (gynecomastia) and body hair loss are possible. You might have less energy than you used to.
  • Emotional changes. Low testosterone can contribute to a decrease in motivation or self-confidence. You might feel sad or depressed, or have trouble concentrating or remembering things.

Before Treatment, Speak with Your Doctor

Hormone replacement therapy can be extremely beneficial for men in certain circumstances, but it’s not right for everyone. Before seeking treatment of any kind, it’s important to speak with your primary care physician about your symptoms and to determine whether or not you’re suffering from unnaturally low levels of testosterone. Then schedule a consultation at Vault Health. We are dedicated to helping you look and feel your best.
