And, once they reach their\n30s or 40s, the amount that their bodies produce gradually decrease by about 1%\nannually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to health professionals, the\nfollowing are the ideal testosterone ranges for every age group:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>25 years old to 29 years old<\/strong> \u2013 5.05\nnanograms per deciliter to 19.8 deciliter<\/li><li><strong>30 years old to 39 years old<\/strong> \u2013 4.85\nnanograms per deciliter to 19.0 nanograms per deciliter<\/li><li><strong>40 years old to 49 years old<\/strong> \u2013 4.46\nnanograms per deciliter to 17.1 nanograms per deciliter<\/li><li><strong>50 years old to 59 years old<\/strong> \u2013 4.06\nnanograms per deciliter to 15.6 nanograms per deciliter<\/li><li><strong>60 years old to 69 years old<\/strong> \u2013 3.67\nnanograms per deciliter to 13.9 nanograms per deciliter<\/li><li><strong>70 years old to 79 years old<\/strong> \u2013 3.28\nnanograms per deciliter to 12.2 nanograms per deciliter<\/li><li><strong>80 years old to 85 years old<\/strong> \u2013 2.88\nnanograms per deciliter to 10.5 nanograms per deciliter<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at that data, we can say that as\nmen age, their testosterone levels naturally decline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to aging, low testosterone\nlevels in the body can also be caused by diseases and disorders, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:#a30003;font-size:24px\" class=\"has-text-color\"><strong>HIV\/AIDS <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A common sexually-transmitted\ndisease, the Human Immunodeficiency Virus of HIV is an infection that is caused\nby a virus that can bring a lot of harm and damage to one\u2019s body.

Its common\nsigns and symptoms include a lump, pain, and swelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, low testosterone can also be a\nresult of undergoing treatment for cancer, particularly prostate cancer; and\ntuberculosis, sarcoidosis, or other inflammatory diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:28px\" class=\"has-background has-secondary-background-color\"><strong>Should\nyou take testosterone to increase testosterone levels?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your testosterone level test shows that you\nindeed have low testosterone in the body, you should talk to your doctor about\nthe treatment options available to treat the problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, testosterone therapy is prescribed\nto men with low testosterone.
