Should Men Be Concern with Low testosterone?
Many men have low testosterone and don’t know. Why, because this is one clinical blood test that is not normally requested. Studies have shown that low testosterone in men is dangerous to their health. Normal testosterone levels are now associated with a man’s improved health and a protection against disease.
In studies done by Dr. Shabsigh, he found that,
Low testosterone is associated with central obesity; insulin resistance; low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL); high cholesterol levels…cardiovascular disease..”
Low Testosterone
In other studies low testosterone in men also shows loss of libido, decrease in muscle performance, loss of muscle mass, and depression. This goes against the belief that normal testosterone levels increases susceptibility to prostate cancer, heart issues, and a variety of other diseases.
It now accepted that normal testosterone levels are beneficial to men’s health. You don’t want to have low or high testosterone. You want your levels to be natural according to clinical blood level specifications.
There are always questions that come up when men use hormone replacement therapy, HRT, to bring their testosterone levels up to normal. This is done for men that have hypogonadism, low testosterone. According to Dr Abraham Morgentaler, who reviewed years of testosterone research, he found no correlation between HRT and cardiovascular disease and prostate cancer. In fact other studies show that men with the lowest levels of testosterone had the highest mortality rates for all diseases, which include cancer and heart diseases
High Testosterone
Another interest item about HRT of testosterone is that high dose of this hormone shows no side effects. In a study reported in The New England Journal of Medicine, men were give a level of testosterone 6 times higher than normal and no major, serious, or negative side effects were observed. It still remains to be seen if high doses of testosterone affect the heart. There are still not enough studies to expose the side effects of using high levels of testosterone.
Women Hormone
Women also have to be concern with testosterone levels, since it does play a role in their health. Its role is not as prominent as in men. In women, testosterone has a key role in their sexual function. When their testosterone level is low their sexual desire is low. This condition is called hypoactive desire disorder, HSDD.
Not much is said about low levels of testosterone in men and in women. A simple blood test can reveal if you have high or low levels. In either case, with a doctor’s help, try to maintain normal testosterone levels to lessen your susceptibility to prostate, cancer, cardiovascular health issues.
