Testosterone Singapore | Shim Clinic

Testosterone is an androgen and is the main sex hormone and anabolic steroid in males. In human males. During embryogenesis, it plays a significant role in the development of the male reproductive organs like the testis, and prostate.

In the pubertal male, it enhances the secondary sexual characteristics like increased bone and muscle mass. And body hair growth.

With aging, it declines, resulting in androgen deficiency, which can be clinically assessed.

Thereafter, testosterone testing can be done to stage the extent of the decline.

If the testosterone level drops too low, then androgen deficiency treatment can be started.
