Low testosterone.

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
Beard and mustache grow in response to testosterone in male body.
There is a possibility that you have low levels of testosterone.

Please get blood levels of free and bound testosterone checked.
Based on the results, Testosterone supplementation can be given to you.

Let me know if you have any other doubt,
