Testosterone is a predominantly male sex hormone that plays a crucial role in male development and overall health. It increases during puberty, causing boys to develop into men physically. However, around age 30, testosterone levels begin to drop by about 1 to 2% per year, which can lead to various symptoms and health concerns.

If you experience any of the following signs and symptoms, it might be time to check your testosterone levels:

Testing Your Testosterone Levels
A blood test can measure your testosterone levels if you notice the above signs and symptoms. A normal testosterone level ranges from 300 to 1,000 nanograms per deciliter. The test is typically performed in the morning when testosterone levels are at their peak.
