Commonly called the male ‘sex’ hormone, Testosterone is produced by the testicles, also called testes that produce the sperm (the male reproductive cell). The testes are a major part of the male reproductive system. Further, in females, it is produced by the ovaries, a major component of the female reproductive system, that is also responsible for producing eggs (the female reproductive cells.) But these are not the only producers of the hormone.
On top of each kidney, the adrenal gland which also makes several other hormones, produces testosterone, adding to the quantity.
The regulation of testosterone levels in the body is overseen by the pituitary gland. In instances of low testosterone levels, the pituitary gland secretes a hormone known as luteinizing hormone (LH), which signals the testicles to produce more testosterone.
The total levels of testosterone fluctuate throughout the day, typically peaking in the morning and reaching their lowest point in the evening.
This pattern is influenced by the circadian rhythm, also known as the sleep-wake cycle, as sleep plays a role in facilitating the natural cycle of testosterone production. Studies indicate that sleep disorders and inadequate sleep might impact testosterone levels. For men experiencing low testosterone, engaging in morning workouts is recommended as it may contribute to an additional boost in levels for some individuals.
The production of testosterone increases during puberty, and it is noted in boys that their voices start getting deeper and hair starts appearing on their bodies. The production of Testosterone gradually starts decreasing after the age of thirty.
So it is necessary to get your problems resolved as early as possible. While in boys, testosterone triggers puberty’s growth spurt, deepens their voice, and sparks sexual development, in girls, it quietly builds strong bones, muscles, and healthy organs. In adulthood, it maintains men’s sexual drive and muscle mass, while contributing to women’s overall well-being.
While bound to proteins like sex hormone binding globulin and albumin, most of the testosterone in the body cannot directly interact with the tissues. This serves as a control mechanism, ensuring a steady state of active testosterone (free testosterone) available for various physiological functions.

If you and your partner are having difficulty conceiving, it is wise to conduct the test. Furthermore, regular monitoring of testosterone levels is crucial for transgender men and individuals undergoing female-to-male testosterone therapy.
Males typically have testosterone levels between 300 and 800 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL), while females typically have levels between 15 and 70 ng/dL.
However, average testosterone levels tend to decrease with age in both males and females. For example, in men, testosterone levels normally drop by 1% annually after the age of 30, though some may see a more rapid decline of up to 2% annually. Half of men show low testosterone levels by the time they are over 80 years old. The American Urology Association defines low testosterone, or hypogonadism, in men as levels less than 300 ng/dL.
In females, the testosterone level decrease sharply picks up speed beyond the age of thirty and then sharply declines after menopause. This decline is associated with higher levels of body fat, less muscle mass, decreased bone density, decreased libido, and may even be linked to a higher risk of breast cancer.
In both males and females, abnormal testosterone levels can indicate major underlying conditions. For example, elevated testosterone levels may be a sign of testicular or ovarian cancer. Conversely, low testosterone levels can indicate a long-term medical condition or problems with the pituitary gland, which releases hormones.
