Testosterone Deficiency in Men

Men normally experience a certain phenomenon called andropause. Andropause’s signs are similar to those of female menopause, and both these biological phenomena are corresponding factors of the natural process of ageing. Andropause starts from about the age of forty and lasts till the age of fifty-five or even longer. The basic manifestation of this period is rapid and significant decrease in the level of testosterone in the male organism. Unlike women of menopause stage, men continue to be fertile during andropause and further. Some man do not even feel any worrying signals of their falling testosterone, however, being hidden and neglected, these symptoms may lead to grave health consequences.

All men inevitably have a certain decrease of testosterone level beginning from the age of thirty, and the typical symptoms of the lowered level of testosterone are the following: fatigue, lack of sleep, worsening of general physical condition, loose of sex attraction and energy, ungrounded mood changes and some others. The process of testosterone level lowering occurs simultaneously with increase of estrogen level in blood. Estrogen, which is universally considered to be a “female” hormone, also plays an important role in man’s body.

For example, in adolescent period low amounts of estrogen are required to suppress a powerful cell-stimulating effect, shown by testosterone. The process of ageing leads to the raise of estrogen level and testosterone may lose its ability of cell-stimulation, and that is the physiological reason of the above mentioned reduction of sex desire and loss of libido.

Naturally some measures can help to reduce the consequences of lowered testosterone levels (healthy food, weight control), but andropause can not be avoided completely and it is necessary to apply some additional treatment, such as hormone replacement therapy. One of the safest and the most effective therapies is the use of herbal testosterone.

It can not only help to overcome sexual disorders provoked by the disbalance of male hormonal sphere, it is also effective to avert the risk of such serious health problems as cardiovascular disease, severe depression, osteoporosis and some memories diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (low level of testosterone is also responsible for the development of all these health disorders).
