882-7000 to make an appointment with a University of Missouri Health Sciences Center physician. I'm worried because I think I have a low testosterone level. I have practically no body hair and none on my arms or legs. I shave my upper lip, but I doubt anyone would notice if I stopped. I have thick pubic hair, but it does not grow up toward the abdomen.
Different people have different amounts of body hair.
Males usually notice an increase in facial, underarm and pubic hair during puberty when the body produces more of the male hormone testosterone. Puberty may begin as early as 8 years of age or as late as 15 years. It ends between the ages of 14 and 18. If you think your testosterone level is low, see your physician for an examination. This can be determined with a simple blood test.
