The Role and Impact of Testosterone
Testosterone is a crucial hormone that significantly impacts men's health and well-being, influencing factors such as libido, muscle mass, and mood. The hormone was historically viewed with caution due to concerns linking it to prostate cancer. Current research, however, challenges this perspective, suggesting that low testosterone levels may actually increase the risk of prostate cancer.
