Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone, although it's also present in women, albeit in much smaller amounts. Produced primarily in the testicles, it plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of male characteristics.  

Key Functions of Testosterone:

  • Sexual development: It's responsible for the development of male reproductive organs and secondary sex characteristics like facial hair, deep voice, and increased muscle mass. 
  • Bone and muscle mass: Testosterone helps build and maintain bone and muscle strength.  
  • Red blood cell production: It stimulates the production of red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body. 
  • Sex drive: Testosterone plays a significant role in libido or sex drive.  
  • Sperm production: It is essential for the production of sperm. 

Testosterone Levels:

  • Men: Testosterone levels peak during puberty and gradually decline with age.
  • Women: The ovaries produce a small amount of testosterone, which contributes to libido and other bodily functions.
Testosterone therapy is a medical treatment used to supplement or replace naturally declining testosterone levels in men and women. It can help alleviate symptoms of low testosterone such as fatigue, low libido, and mood changes
Individuals experiencing symptoms of low testosterone levels may benefit from therapy. It is essential to consult with a healthcare provider to determine if testosterone therapy is suitable for you.

While generally safe when prescribed and monitored appropriately, testosterone therapy may have side effects such as acne, fluid retention, or changes in cholesterol levels. Your nurse practitioner will discuss these risks and manage any issues that arise.
