When most people think about declining male testosterone levels, the first thing that comes to mind is a lower sex drive. After all, testosterone is commonly associated with a high libido, given that testosterone levels are highest in men’s teenage and young adult years. However, reducing low testosterone to just libido overlooks its wider implications.<\/span><\/p>\n While it’s true that a lower libido is a sign of low testosterone, it’s often one of the less visible signs. More often, those who suffer from low testosterone <\/span>will notice<\/span><\/a> difficulty concentrating, weaker bone strength, feelings of irritability, and fatigue far sooner than low libido. Testosterone is responsible for all of these things, and that means declining testosterone levels can cause several serious problems if left untreated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Keep reading to see why your testosterone levels matter, what the appropriate male testosterone levels by age are, and what you can do when testosterone levels start to decline.<\/span><\/p>\n Maybe you’re at the seasons of life where, your kids are old enough to either take care of most things themselves or be out of the home entirely, and you’re looking forward to catching up on that sleep you missed out on while they were in the baby stages. Yet now, you go to bed at a reasonable hour, wake up at a reasonable hour and you’re still <\/span>feeling tired<\/span><\/a>. What’s the problem?<\/span><\/p>\n It might very well be low levels of testosterone, which can cause you to feel fatigued even when you’re able to get a full night of sleep. Other problems can include having difficulty with giving quick answers, excess body fat, and a greater risk for <\/span>dementia and diabetes<\/span><\/a>. Testosterone is at least partially responsible for keeping our brains and bodies in good shape, so when levels start to drop, we might feel like something is off in our daily lives. When low testosterone is left untreated, bone density, and heart health can also become casualties of your lack of proper amounts of this hormone.<\/span><\/p>\n That’s why all humans produce testosterone, even though it’s commonly associated with men and not women. All humans need testosterone to maintain strong, healthy bones and prevent osteoporosis. When symptoms of low testosterone occur, they’re not something that you can just brush off as a casualty of age.<\/span><\/p>\n Testosterone levels can vary greatly depending on age, lifestyle factors, and underlying health conditions. Let\u2019s take a look at what is considered normal male testosterone levels by age.<\/span><\/p>\n You might be surprised to learn that males start with fairly high testosterone levels in infancy, then see a steady drop until puberty. That’s because infancy is responsible for creating the male reproductive system, which uses almost all of the body’s testosterone. Typically, male infants with normal testosterone levels range between 75 to 400 ng\/dL when they are just a few months old.<\/span><\/p>\n Once the teen years begin and puberty starts, testosterone levels begin to increase rapidly. Teenage boys generally start to experience an increase around ages 12 and 13 and may peak in their late teens. The normal range for testosterone levels in teenage boys is typically between 300-1000 ng\/dL.<\/span><\/p>\n A man\u2019s twenties are often considered the peak period for testosterone production in men. Generally, a normal testosterone range for men in their 20s is between 300 and 1,200 ng\/dL.<\/span><\/p>\n Once men reach their early thirties, testosterone mostly holds steady until age 35, when testosterone levels naturally <\/span>start to decrease<\/span><\/a> by 1% every year for the rest of their life. This means, that by the time you get to age 70, you’re down to about 2\/3 of the amount of testosterone you had in your 20s \u2013\u2013\u00a0leaving you more vulnerable to diseases and disorders commonly associated with aging.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If your testosterone levels dip under 300 ng\/dL in adulthood, it could put your body at serious risk for complications. So, it\u2019s important to discuss with a medical expert about possible treatment options for low testosterone.<\/span><\/p>\n Take Our Low-T Quiz<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Take our complimentary online quiz to find out if you may be experiencing a hormonal imbalance.
