Why do some men have low testosterone?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Testosterone is produced in large amounts in the testicles, and it naturally declines with age. The levels usually peak around the age of 18 to 20, and start to gradually decline after the age of 30. So, as you grow older, especially once you are in your 40s or above, expect your testosterone levels to be less than what you had when you were younger.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sometimes, testosterone levels can also decline not because of aging but due to other factors. Below are some common causes of low testosterone:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Testicular injuries<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
