Testosterone deficiency
What is a testosterone deficiency?
Testosterone is often referred to as the ‘male sex hormone’. During puberty it drives the development of male characteristics such as facial hair, a deeper voice and muscle growth. But even in adulthood, testosterone remains essential.
It plays a role in almost every system in the body – from muscles and bones to skin, brain, prostate and sexual function. It affects your energy, your mood, your muscle strength, your weight and even your sleep.
Because testosterone acts on so many organs at once, low levels can show up in a wide range of symptoms that often overlap

Most testosterone is produced in the testicles. A small proportion, around 5 to 10 per cent, is produced by the adrenal glands.
This hormone plays an essential role in:
Sperm production and fertility, maintaining muscle mass and strength, bone strength and bone development, fat and sugar metabolism, prostate function and erection quality, your libido (sex drive) and your mental balance and mood.
In short: testosterone is a key driver of vitality. When levels are too low and you experience a testosterone deficiency, this is often reflected in several areas of life at the same time, physically, sexually and mentally.
