Testosterone is a hormone that plays a key role in men’s health. It helps with the development of male features like deeper voice, facial hair, and muscle growth.

Beyond that, it supports energy levels, mood, sex drive, and even bone strength.

While both men and women have testosterone, men have much higher levels.

Having the right balance of testosterone is important for overall well-being

Low testosterone can affect your body and mind in several ways.

Common symptoms include:

• feeling tired all the time

• low sex drive

• difficulty getting or keeping an erection

• mood changes like feeling sad or irritable.

You might also notice less muscle mass, weight gain (especially around the belly), trouble concentrating, or even hair loss.

If you're experiencing several of these symptoms, it's a good idea to talk to your doctor and check your hormone levels.

Androgen deficiency, or low testosterone levels, can often be managed effectively with medical support.

The most common treatment is testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), which helps restore hormone levels to a healthy range.

This can come in the form of gels, patches, injections, or tablets, depending on what suits you best.

Alongside TRT, your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes like regular exercise, healthy eating, stress management, and better sleep — all of which can support hormone balance.

Regular check-ups are important to monitor your response to treatment and adjust as needed for your safety and well-being.
