MALE TESTOSTERONE
tes·tos·ter·one
Function: noun
A white crystalline steroid hormone, C19H28O2, produced primarily in the testes and responsible for the development and maintenance of male secondary sex characteristics. It is also produced synthetically for use in medical treatment.
Birth is the beginning of a very important hormonal event for all people. It is the beginning of the rise of your sex hormones. Before you were born estrogen, progesterone, DHEA, testosterone and cortisol worked together to develop you into the baby you were. When you got older, they continued to do their parts to help in the development process as you entered into puberty.
Testosterone is the dominant hormone in males that allow them to develop all of the main manly characteristics. This includes the development of muscles, facial hair, and other body hair, the ability to obtain an erection, and the natural attraction to the opposite sex. Testosterone is the prominent hormone in males because of the characteristics it gives to men that would usually be unappealing to women; although women too contain a small amount of testosterone in their bodies as well.
As men in their later years begin to lose their hormones, they begin to lose their muscle tone not only outwardly but inwardly as well. They begin to lose those manly features that they have acquired through puberty as well as into their 20's and 30's. One of the biggest complaints of men that begin to reach this point t is their loss of erections. Most men won't necessarily blame their age or health factors on this problem, rather outside circumstances such as partners, work or just being too busy. They tend not to look at the libido as a cause for change in the way their body is working and instead look for other things to blame their so called deficiencies on.
Shift in energy change can also be a key indicator that something also needs to be looked into on the sexual and hormonal changes in the male body. Low testosterone can usually lead to most of the problems men begin to face like fatigue, sexual performance, and going from an always wanting to be the go at it guy, to a more subdued sex life.
