What is Testosterone?

Testosterone is a hormone produced in the testes of men. Testosterone is responsible for the development of male characteristics such as body and facial hair, muscle growth, strength, a deep voice and sexual desire.

Normal levels of testosterone also influence the production of sperm and promote sex drive. Though testosterone is thought of as an exclusively male hormone, it is not unique to males. Testosterone is also produced in the ovaries and adrenal glands in women and starts to decline as both men and women age.

When does testosterone decline?

Testosterone begins to decline in men at about age 25. Testosterone Levels decline gradually over the years and because it comes on slowly, most men often accommodate to the symptoms and do not realize how much of this important male sex hormone they have lost

Look at the Testosterone chart. Where on that hormonal down-turn do you think you are?

What happens to Testosterone in Men after 35 ?

Many men, after 35 or so, often have a hard time rising to the occasion and challenge of daily stress. Erectile and sexual dysfunction become REAL and it has only been recently that the onset of andropause (male menopause) has received attention and recognition, but why the holdup with discussion of men's hormone treatment?

In men over 40, lower testosterone levels affect physical, sexual and cognitive function.  Lower testosterone levels are not “normal for your age”.  Andropause is a health problem that requires treatment

Doctors and scientists are well aware of the ramifications due to the absence of estrogen and progesterone in women. In the mean time men have kept their focus from themselves and their own hormonal induced weaknesses. Why?

• The fact that testosterone deficiency comes on so gradually is the reason why many men accommodate to the change.  When the change happens like a lack of desire, softer or no erections - we put it down to being “burnt out at work”, having a “mid-life crisis” or “just getting old”.

• Ignorance about "Low T". Men do not talk or complain since it is not the "manly thing to do". We are taught to rise above our afflictions and never give the slightest indication of weakness.

• Male pride is often our greatest strength and our greatest weakness! We are blasted with a reality check during our mid-forties when testosterone levels begin to decline more rapidly in men.  We are told that the problems we are experiencing are all part of aging and we should throw in the towel and “settle” into old age.

At Our Testosterone and HGH Clinic our patients talk openly about their problems and what they are going through.  But each of them would also admit that they had difficulty making that first call and that they still can not admit or talk to their friends about their dysfunctions associated with low testosterone. Erectile Dysfunction also known as ED can be causd by low testosterone levels. Takin a testosterone hormone level test will tell you if your levels are within the normal range. If the level is low and is causing erectile dysfunction or loss of sexual desire, then testosterone replacment therapy can help restore you sex drive and performance.
