Understanding Low Testosterone
Testosterone is a hormone produced in the body and in males, is primarily produced in the testicles. It is responsible for sexual development and sperm production, building muscle mass, bone density, emotional health, and more.
Low testosterone, or hypogonadism, is a condition that affects many men as they age and can impact younger men due to injury or trauma to the testicles, taking certain medications, chemotherapy and radiation, certain chronic illnesses, developmental issues and conditions, and more.
