Hormones accomplish important functions in the body. They are a different type of chemical messengers, and most of them are produced in glands, endocrine in this case, and they are also regulated by the pituitary. Although it has been proven that different types of hormones are produced in different parts of the bodies, like testosterone, which is developed in the testes in men and the ovaries in women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their function is to regulate different processes in\nour bodies, like metabolism, growth and development, mood, appetite, sexual\nfunctions, and sleep cycle, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testosterone is a steroid hormone, meaning that it’s a\nsteroid that has the properties to act as a hormone and its main function is to\nregulate the physical features in men, like body mass, muscle mass, regulation\nof body hair (including facial and pubic hair), voice tone, bone development\nand more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The production of this hormone is made in the testes by the Leydig cells, and the production process reaches its peak in the 20s, and start decreasing naturally in the late 30s-40s. Normal testosterone levels range from 270 to 1070 nanograms per deciLiter (ng\/dL) in adults and they descend 1% each year in men in their forties, although sometimes men start experiencing symptoms of low T-levels due to a variety of causes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A blood test is the most common and the\nbest way to have a measure of your T-level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What can cause low testosterone levels?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is an array of issues that can cause low T-levels, like hypogonadism and genetic issues \u2013syndromes like Klinefelter, Kallman, Prader-Willi, and hemochromatosis. And like mentioned before, aging also lowers the testosterone production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Physical causes are also attached to the\ndeficiency of testosterone, like testicular damage caused by trauma or other\nexternal factors, like a complication with mumps and even alcoholism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tumors in your prostate, exposure to radiation, hypothalamic or pituitary disease are also linked to this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the symptoms of low T-levels?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Low testosterone levels can be developed\nin uterus, childhood, and adulthood.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to the fetus, the\ndeficiency of androgen can happen in the first 12 weeks of gestation. It can be\nseen as ambiguous genitalia, and the testes won\u2019t descend in the months ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they grow, kids that had suffered\nfrom low levels when they were fetus may have an acute voice, low muscle index,\na poor genitalia development, and not much body hair, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes the patient will need surgery\nand hormone replacement therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, kids start to have symptoms in their development stage, and testosterone replacement therapy is prescribed, just like in a grown man. In these two stages, their fertility can be compromised if they don’t treat it accordingly. And not just that, they may also suffer from low energy, depression, poor sexual drive, their facial and body hair won’t grow as it should, and their muscles and body mass will be low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
