The dangers of high testosterone levels in men

The male body's androgen is mainly secreted by the testicles, and the adrenal cortex can also synthesize a small amount of this endocrine hormone. The main function of androgen is to promote the development of male secondary sexual characteristics, which plays a very important role. However, the more male androgen secreted, the better. Too much secretion will have an impact on the body. So, what are the dangers of excessive male androgen? Let's take a look below.

1. Androgenic alopecia occurs

It is understood that excessive male androgen secretion can also have an impact on the body, and even cause hair loss. There are many types of hair loss, and one of the most common types is androgenic alopecia. Due to excessive androgen secretion in the male body, excessive dihydrotestosterone will bind to the androgen receptors of the hair follicle cells, causing adverse reactions, resulting in the degeneration of the hair follicles, which makes men more prone to hair loss. Therefore, we should develop healthy habits to maintain a stable endocrine level and prevent excessive androgen secretion from causing alopecia symptoms.

2. Affects prostate function

If men secrete too much androgen, it may cause prostate disease. The prostate is a unique organ in men, and good habits should be cultivated to maintain the health of the prostate. Excessive androgen secretion is often manifested by strong sexual desire, and under the influence of strong sexual desire, men will want to have sex more frequently.

In this way, the prostate is in a state of congestion for a long time, which makes it more susceptible to bacterial infection, and the probability of prostatitis, prostatic hyperplasia, etc. will increase. In order to protect your prostate, you should regulate your body, maintain a stable endocrine level, and avoid excessive secretion of androgens.

3. Excessive sexual desire

Excessive androgen secretion in men will also have certain effects on the body. It is understood that men with excessive androgen secretion are prone to excessive sexual desire, which can easily affect their normal life. They are always prone to sexual impulses and even mental abnormalities. If they do not have sex in time, they are likely to feel depressed. Excessive sexual desire may lead to excessive indulgence, which is not good for men's health.

4. Skin problems are likely to occur

Generally, men's health is easily damaged under the influence of excessive androgen secretion, and their skin condition may deteriorate. Because when androgen secretion is excessive, the amount of dihydrotestosterone in the body increases, which can easily lead to vigorous secretion of facial sebaceous glands, and oil accumulation in the facial hair follicles, which can easily cause hair follicle blockage. Over time, it may cause acne, and the male's facial skin condition will deteriorate. Therefore, men should pay attention to body regulation, maintain endocrine stability, and avoid excessive androgen levels.
