testosteron

What is testosterone?

Testosterone is a crucial hormone that plays a central role in the development of male characteristics and maintenance of health in both men and women. In men, it is produced mainly in the testicles, while in women, it is produced in smaller amounts in the ovaries and adrenal glands.


Low testosterone can cause symptoms such as decreased libido, fatigue, and muscle mass loss in men, as well as decreased sex drive, fatigue, and depression in women. At Valida Health, we offer hormone therapy that includes a thorough evaluation, blood tests, and a customized treatment plan.
