Dr. Zhao Lianli
Androgens are hormones primarily secreted by the testes in males and are responsible for maintaining male characteristics—such as deep voice, assertive personality, and heightened emotional reactivity. Low androgen levels may impair fertility; therefore, individuals experiencing this condition are advised to seek further evaluation and treatment at a reputable hospital. It is best to avoid dietary supplements and instead adopt healthy lifestyle habits: refrain from smoking and alcohol consumption, and maintain regular, portion-controlled meals daily.
