What does testosterone do?

Testosterone has crucial functions during development and throughout life:

• Sexual function and fertility - testosterone plays a vital role in sperm production, sex drive, and supports reproductive health.


• Muscle and bone health - testosterone helps build and maintain muscle mass and bone density.


• Fat distribution - testosterone helps reduce body fat and promotes lean muscle mass development.


• Facial and body hair growth - rising testosterone levels during puberty trigger increased body and facial hair.


• Red blood cell production - testosterone supports the bone marrow in producing red blood cells.

What controls testosterone levels?

The hypothalamus and pituitary gland work together to regulate testosterone production. When levels are low, they secrete hormones that signal the testes to produce more. After middle age, testosterone levels gradually decline. Some causes include:

• Aging


• Injury or infection of the testes


• Diseases affecting the hypothalamus or pituitary gland


• Medications and chronic health problems


• Obesity


• Type 2 diabetes


• Lack of sleep
