Men must be alert to the dangers of low testosterone!

Testosterone exists in the bodies of both men and women and plays an immeasurable role in the human body. It is a substance that men cannot live without throughout their lives. If the level is low, it will affect sexual desire and even lead to infertility.

1. The effect of testosterone on infants: In the first week after a male infant is born, the testosterone concentration begins to rise and maintains a concentration similar to that of puberty for several months. Testosterone plays an important role in the formation of the male penis and scrotum.

Testosterone is a type of androgen, and male sexual behavior is related to androgen. When the testicles begin to secrete androgen during puberty, male sexual behavior begins to sprout and strengthen.

What are the dangers of low testosterone in men?

The hormones related to male reproductive function mainly include gonadotropin-releasing hormone secreted by the hypothalamus, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), prolactin and testosterone secreted by the anterior pituitary. They are the "five great warriors" to ensure fertility, and they cooperate closely with each other. For example, FSH can "command" the epithelial cells of the seminiferous tubules to promote the development and maturation of sperm; LH is a stimulant that can stimulate the testicular stroma to secrete and synthesize testosterone.

Low testosterone levels can seriously affect the quality of male sperm, leading to a decrease in sperm count, oligospermia, and in severe cases, azoospermia. It can also lead to decreased sperm motility, leading to asthenospermia. Oligospermia, azoospermia, and asthenospermia can all affect male fertility and lead to infertility. Therefore, experts recommend that men with low testosterone levels go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible!
