00:00

Testosterone is essential for muscle growth, bone density, sperm production, and libido in men.

Testosterone levels peak in late teens and decrease by 1 to 3% per year after age 40, impacting sex drive and muscle mass.

Low testosterone levels can result in erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence.

Fertility decreases after age 40, and testicular tissue mass decreases after the 50s.

Testosterone levels decrease with age, leading to issues like erectile dysfunction and decreased sperm production.

Testicular size and function are affected by aging, with changes becoming more apparent over time.

Genetics, lifestyle factors, and overall health can influence the rate of age-related decline in testosterone levels.

Healthy lifestyle choices such as exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management can naturally improve testosterone levels, while testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can alleviate symptoms in older men, but consultation with a doctor is essential.
