Why is Testosterone Important?

Testosterone: The essence of male energy

Testosterone is a hormone produced by the body. In the early years of a man's life, it is responsible for the normal growth and development of the sex organs, as well as other male physical features such as body hair and muscle development. Normal levels of testosterone contribute to energy, sexual function, mood, and libido. But sometimes a man may have low levels of testosterone. If your testosterone levels are low, you may have these symptoms:

• Low sexual desire
• Sexual dysfunction (inability to maintain erections)
• Fatigue and low energy
• Depressed mood

Testosterone deficiency can be easily treated. Today there are convenient, user-friendly testosterone-replacement therapies. The first step is proper diagnosis.
