Symptoms of androgen deficiency

Sex hormones are an indispensable component of our body. They determine many of our physiological characteristics and body functions. Lack of sex hormones will have a great impact on our health. And as the main sex hormone of men, if the male body lacks testosterone, it will bring many harms. So what are the consequences of male lack of testosterone? This article will give you a brief introduction.

Six major manifestations of androgen deficiency.

1. No interest in anything: The functions of the nervous and endocrine systems are closely linked. The decline in androgen levels leads to a significant decrease in nervous stability, which cannot withstand even the slightest shock from the outside world. It is easy to become fragile, irritable, and lacking in self-confidence, which is the same as the emotional disorders of women during menopause.

2. Obesity: Male hormones make men look more manly, mainly because of the visual enjoyment of muscles. Sex hormones can adjust the ratio of muscle to fat, reduce body fat storage, and help muscles become more developed.

3. Low libido: A decrease in male hormones, especially testosterone (an important substance that produces sexual desire), can lead to low libido and even impotence.

4. High blood lipids slow blood flow: Sex hormones are as important to men's blood vessels as sunscreen is to women's skin. Clinical studies have shown that sex hormones can prevent atherosclerosis in men's blood vessels. Testosterone can reduce bad cholesterol (high-density cholesterol) in the blood and reduce blood viscosity. Without it, excessive blood lipids will slow blood flow.

5. Osteoporosis: Testosterone plays a driving role in the metabolism of bones. Without the supervision of sex hormones, bone metabolism is easily unbalanced, resulting in a large loss of calcium and osteoporosis.

6. Prostate hypertrophy: There is also a trace amount of estrogen in men's bodies, which is balanced with androgen. When androgen decreases, estrogen will increase, and through a series of subtle biochemical reactions, the growth factor in the prostate cells is awakened, causing the cells to proliferate and cause prostate hypertrophy.

After reading the above introduction, you must have understood the harm of male hormone deficiency. It is difficult to detect whether the body lacks male hormones, which leads to it being often ignored and causing serious consequences. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone should develop a good habit of going to the hospital for regular checkups. Early detection and early treatment will avoid serious consequences.
