The male sex hormone par excellence is also importantfor bone, heart and mind health
When you think of testosterone, thethought immediately runs to male sexual potency.
This hormone also has many other functions, some ofwhich are crucial to health. Testosterone, in fact, helps tostrengthen bone tissue, but also toprevent diabetes and reduce the risk ofheart attack and stroke.
Unfortunately, the picture regarding its decline isnot at all positive. As pointed out by the experts of the ItalianSociety of Andrology (SIA) during their annual national congressheld in Bari in late May 2019, more and more40-year – olds have testosteronedeficiency problems.
As just mentioned, the consequences in these casesconcern not only the decrease in desire and the obviousrepercussions on the couple's life but also the increased risk ofcardiovascular pathologies and of diseases such as osteoporosis anddiabetes.
Experts advise undergoing a visit with aspecialist as soon as you notice specific symptoms, suchas accentuated tiredness and an abnormal slowdownin the growth of the beard.
Professor Alessandro Palmieri, President of theItalian Andrology Society and academic at the Federico IIUniversity of Naples, recalls the absolute importance of turning toa specialist and of avoiding do-it-yourselfsolutions. In fact, only an expertandrologist is able to understand whether or not there isa need to use replacement therapy to restoreadequate testosterone levels.
It is fundamental to underline that, with the passingof the years, its decline is howeverphysiological. Starting from the 40s we are dealing with adecrease in the levels of this hormone equal to about 1% per year.After the 60s stanozolol(winstrol) en venta, evident symptoms are noted.
According to SIA data, in our country, theover 60 with testosterone deficiency are around650,000. These subjects, in addition to suffering from obvioussexual dysfunctions, also have problems withobesity, diabetes,osteoporosis and, in the most serious situations,with cognitive decline.
The drop in testosterone must, therefore, worry notonly for the performance under the sheets but alsoas regards the onset of pathologies of objectiveseverity. Among all, it is good to pay particularattention to the cardiovascular ones which, asunderlined during the days of the SIA National Congress, see therisk increased by about 2.5 times over time in people withtestosterone deficiency.
