Testosterone Level In Men - Fekomi Herbals

Testosterone is a very important part of the male hormones. Although it is also produced in the ovaries, testosterone is mainly produced in the testicles and it is the principal male hormone responsible for controlling fetal male sexual differentiation, developing male sex characteristics, enlarging the penis and testes, sperm production, increasing sexual drive, and fertility. It also plays a role in the regulation of secondary masculine features (such as male hair patterns and voice changes), anabolic effects (such as growth spurts), and skeletal muscle growth. It also increases production of red blood cells (erythropoiesis).

Testosterone Level And Aging

Testosterone levels are typically at their highest during adolescence and early adulthood (18 or 19) and will naturally start to decrease with aging (from age 30 or 40). Studies have shown that total testosterone levels decline by 1.5% per year on average while free and bioavailable levels fall by 2%-3% per year. This is why you may feel less interested in sex as you get older. Note that it is not always normal not to have interest in sex at all.

Other Causes Of Low Testosterone Include:

Side effects of medications such as chemotherapy
Problem with hypothalamus and pituitary glands (glands in the brain that control production.
Injury to the testicle
Stress
Low thyroid functions.
Inflammatory diseases (such as histiocytosis, sarcoidosis, and tuberculosis)
Chronic diseases such as liver or kidney problems, heart failure, and HIV/AIDS, etc
Obesity

The Relationship Between Sex, Masturbation And Testosterone

I know you must have been told at one point or the other that masturbation or sexual activities do not have any effect on the level of testosterone. Well, this is actually true but before we draw a conclusion, let’s look at what happens every time a man ejaculates during sex.

The semen is super rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals including biotin (a water soluble vitamin B which is important for hairs) and Zinc which is important for both eyes, hairs, and also, muscle mass building. Remember, all these nutrients are important for healthy testosterone.

According to research, the average volume of semen released during orgasm is between 3.7 ml to 5 ml per ejaculation. This simply means that each time a man ejaculates, he loses about this volume of important nutrients in the body.

In a research carried out in 2001, it was observed that men who abstained from sex for about 3 weeks have higher concentration of testosterone than the other group who were involved in sex.

Normally, sex or masturbation may not have any significant effect on testosterone level but excessive sex and chronic masturbation can cause loss of vigor and vitality which can affect the testosterone.

Although not all men exhibit these symptoms, here are some of the symptoms of low testosterone:
