Testosterone Check

Testosterone, the principal male sex hormone, governs numerous crucial functions in the body. Its levels in men are significantly higher than in women and are responsible for most of the physical differences between the sexes. For adult males, it regulates sex drive, sustains muscle mass, and aids in sperm production.
