Testosterone is important for general and sexual health in men.
Symptoms of deficiency include decreased libido, loss of morning erections and erectile dysfunction but may also involve tiredness, weakness and depression.
For each year over age 30, the level of testosterone in men starts to slowly dip at a rate of around 1 percent per year.
Testosterone is responsible for many essential body functions, including:
- Body hair
