Low Testosterone Levels is a Significant Problem for Many Men<\/h2>\n

\"LowLow testosterone<\/strong> is a common problem<\/strong> among men. It may occur in younger men who are in their 30’s and 40’s but is more common in men over 50<\/strong> years of age.<\/p>\n

Some men develop low testosterone<\/a> because of an underlying problem, such as a pituitary tumor, called a pituitary adenoma, or diabetes.<\/p>\n

Most men have an age-related decrease in testosterone levels<\/strong>. Testosterone levels tend to decrease as men age, with the most noticeable drop in men aged 60+.<\/p>\n

What is Testosterone?<\/h2>\n

Testosterone is a naturally occurring hormone that is produced mostly in the testis<\/strong>; small amounts are also produced by the adrenal gland in men.  Testosterone is a required hormone for penis growth during puberty. Testosterone is also involved in sex drive<\/strong><\/a>.  <\/p>\n

Testosterone is important for erections<\/strong> as well as it appears to increase the responsiveness of blood vessels of the penis to stimulation and helps men obtain better erections<\/strong>.  In addition, testosterone is very important for the production of sperm in men.  Men with low testosterone levels often suffer from male infertility<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Testosterone is also important in maintaining high energy levels<\/strong> and strength.  Men with low testosterone often complain of decreased energy levels<\/strong> and poor endurance.  <\/p>\n

Many men with erection problems also have low testosterone levels.  Low testosterone levels can diminish the effectiveness of Cialis used for ED treatment<\/a>; shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction<\/a> <\/strong>may not work well in men with low testosterone levels.<\/p>\n
