Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone and anabolic steroid. Testosterone plays a key role in the development of male reproductive tissues such as the testis and prostate. In addition, testosterone is essential for promoting secondary sexual characteristics such as increased muscle and bone mass and the growth of body hair.
Testosterone production increases dramatically during puberty, leading to the development of male physical attributes like a deeper voice, taller stature, and increased libido. While testosterone levels fluctuate throughout a man's life, declining levels later in life can lead to troublesome symptoms like low energy, reduced muscle mass, and erectile dysfunction.
If you think you may have low T, consider getting a blood test. The medical professionals at Vitality Hormone Clinic specialize in testosterone treatments to help men optimize their vitality, energy levels, strength, endurance and overall masculine health.
While testosterone has several beneficial effects, it’s important to keep your levels within the normal healthy range. Abnormally high or low levels can cause side effects. Some symptoms of low testosterone include:
If you’re experiencing any of those symptoms, talk to your doctor or set up a consultation at our hormone clinic to explore your treatment options, such as testosterone injections, gels or pellets.
