Testosterone Therapy

Even the strongest of men have days when they feel low and Testosterone Therapy is a treatment used to help men with the issues of age related low testosterone levels.

Testosterone therapy can help male patients treat these problems and improve your overall quality of life. Testosterone therapy is usually given as injections, gels, patches, or implants. It is important to talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of testosterone therapy before starting treatment. Testosterone therapy should only be used under the care of a medical professional.

What is Testosterone?

Testosterone is a hormone that plays a key role in many body processes, including sexual function and development. This specific hormone is produced primarily in the testicles. It is responsible for the development of male characteristics, such as facial hair and a deep voice. Testosterone also helps to maintain muscle mass and bone density. In addition, it plays a role in sexual function and reproduction.

Testosterone levels can fluctuate throughout the day, and they are often highest in the morning. Levels will also decline with age, and low testosterone levels can cause problems with

      • Sexual function
      • Energy levels
      • Mood
      • Increased risk of prostate cancer

Testosterone replacement therapy can help to restore levels to normal and alleviate these symptoms. However, it can also cause side effects, such as acne or mood swings. As a result, testosterone therapy should be carefully considered before starting.

The Most Typical Symptoms of Low Testosterone, or Andropause, include:

      • Reduced libido or the reduced desire for sex
      • Fatigue or a decrease in physical stamina
      • Erectile dysfunction
      • Decrease in mental sharpness or memory impairment
      • Weight gain
      • Feelings of depression and anxiety
      • Heart disease
      • Decreased bone density
      • Reduced muscle mass
      • Irritability
      • Weakness
      • Lower urinary tract symptoms
      • Disturbed sleep
      • Osteoporosis
      • Atherosclerosis
      • Low sperm count
      • Slow wound healing

What is Andropause?

Andropause, more commonly referred to as “Male Menopause,” is the gradual, age-related decline of hormonal function in men. The most dominant of the male hormones (or androgens) is testosterone, which plays a key role in many aspects of overall health. The androgens also include dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and an

drostenedione.
There are many symptoms of testosterone deficiency that are sometimes referred to as the “grumpy man syndrome.” With the decline in testosterone and other androgens, men typically notice changes around the age of 40.

Systemic Effects of Testosterone

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) has been shown to have significant cardiovascular effects on men if their cardiovascular health was reduced. Previous dogmas had said androgens have atheogenic potentials. In one randomized, placebo-controlled study the researchers found that men who had TRT received higher risks of heart attacks if they had high prevalences of chronic illnesses [46]. Present evidence suggests that the use of Testosterone Replacement Therapy is effective in reducing the likelihood of cardiovascular disease. Because certain male cardiovascular conditions are limited, clinicians must be careful evaluating their potential for the occurrence of swelling. [50]

Influence of Testosterone on Red Blood Cell Counters

Testosterone increases blood glucose by a percentage of 5 – 7 – 10 [1,25]. Studies showing polycythenia on testosterone therapy have been limited. Polycytosis has also proven to be a side-effect of TRT and has not been confirmed. In a study published today, testosterone may be associated with polycythemia in 20% of men undergoing treatment for TRT [41. ] Polycythemia increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, including stroke, and heart disease as pulmonary embolus occurs with the disease. [41]

Are There Risks of Testosterone Therapy?

This therapy has multiple benefits and may greatly improve patients’ lives. It is also known that TRT may have harmful side effect and has not yet been evaluated for safety and effectiveness in older people, and is known to cause prostate cancer and OSA. Currently doctors are working to determine which approach should be taken when treating men exhibiting hypogonadism.

If you are considering testosterone therapy, it is important to talk to your doctor about the potential risks and benefits. Testosterone therapy can cause serious side effects, including heart attack, stroke, and blood clots. Testosterone therapy should only be used under the care of a medical professional.
