Testosterone is essential for many bodily functions. It is a steroid sex hormone, which is mostly produced by the testicles that get signals from the pituitary gland in the brain. While the majority is made in the testicles, about 5% is made by the adrenal glands that sit on top of the kidney. Testosterone is responsible for energy levels, sex drive (libido), erectile function, muscle integrity, and mood among many other things.
When looking into testosterone replacement therapy, be sure to go to a real urologist and not a popup “clinic.” We are experienced at helping residents of Austin, Round Rock, Pflugerville, and surrounding areas pinpoint the precise cause of their symptoms before prescribing a treatment.
