Testosterone production declines naturally with age. Low testosterone, or testosterone deficiency may result from disease or damage to the hypothalamus, pituitary gland or testicles that inhibits hormone secretion and testosterone production, and is also known as hypogonadism. Depending on age, insufficient testosterone production can lead to abnormalities in muscle and bone development, underdeveloped genitalia and diminished virility. ageing, removal of testicles, medication, stress,and hypopituitarism are some causes of low testosterone. healthy diet regular exercise, quit smoking, drinking alcohol moderately and sexual intercourse once in a week can give you a healthy testosterone level.
