Why Low Testosterone is a Condition Men Must Take Seriously?
Low testosterone is a condition that effects nearly 5 million men each year. This condition, also known as Low T, occurs when the level of testosterone in the male human body falls below normal levels, which for men is 270-1070 ng/dl. As men age, the levels of testosterone drop naturally, but this should not begin to occur in men before the age of 50 to 60. Due to stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia and lifestyle changes, doctors are now seeing more men between the ages of 45 and 50 exhibiting signs and symptoms of male hypogonadism, also known as male menopause.
What are the Common Symptoms of Low Testosterone
- Loss of sex drive
- Erectile dysfunction
- Bone loss or fracture
- Sleep disturbance
- Depression
- Lethargy
- Diminished physical performance
- Weight Gain
Why Low Testosterone Can Be Dangerous For Men
Low testosterone, also called male menopause, is a condition in men that can lead to a number of health related issues, and if left untreated even possible death. The effects of andropause are similar to those of menopause in women and can begin to surface in men between the ages of 40 and 45. Unlike female menopause, andropause may be more difficult to diagnose, as the symptoms of male menopause are not a clear cut as those for women.
Men with Low T have a higher instance of dying from heart disease than men with normal levels of testosterone. In a study of 12,000 men with low testosterone conducted by researchers at the University of Cambridge in the UK from 1993 to 1997, by 2003 more than 800 of the men had died. Taking all factors into consideration, including weight gain, alcohol and drug use, heart disease and other lifestyle issues, researchers concluded that effects of low testosterone was a contributing factor in a majority of the deaths.
Natural Remedy for Low Testosterone
There are several Testosterone therapies to choose depending on the severity of your low testosterone.
Natural remedies include, tribulus terrestris supplements, bioidentical testosterone cream and testosterone hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Before embarking on any testosterone treatment options, see your doctor for a physical to determine if your symptoms are due to low testosterone or other hormonal deficiency or a medical issue. If you are diagnosed with Low Testosterone, try a testosterone supplement first. This type of treatment does not require a prescription, and do not come with the side effects of pharmaceutical treatments for low testosterone.
While Low Testosterone is a serious male health issue, there are several natural treatment options available to help boost testosterone levels and allow you to regain energy, concentration, lost muscle mass, eliminate insomnia, boost sex drive and improve your overall health.
