Issues related to Decreased level of Testosterone

The decline of testosterone level is natural with age. The decrease in testosterone level causes some symptoms like:

• Decrease in sexual endurance

• Lack of energy
• Insomnia
• erectile dysfunction
• Decrease in muscle mass
• Lower sperm count
• Increase in body fat
• Increase breast size and tenderness
• Diminished bone density
• Hair loss
• Decreased concentration
• Depression

Not all these symptoms may be possible in a single person but few may appear if problem exist. Moreover, if you have some of these problems continuously then you may discuss the matter with your doctor to select most suitable options for testosterone treatment.

These symptoms are part of the natural aging process but testosterone level can decrease due to some other conditions like:

• Testicle infection or injury
• Radiation/chemotherapy
• Excess of iron
• Pituitary gland disorder
• Stress
• Cirrhosis of the liver
• Obesity
• Alcohol abuse
• Hypogonadism
• Klinefelter's Syndrome
• Kidney disease
• Medications

The hormonal replacement therapy is recommended for the people suffering with such conditions that cause low-T. However, this therapy is not judge safer for the normal person and some people had bad experience with it. Whenever we disturbed the natural processes, we had bad consequences for that action and it is more like to believe that we should not adopt the therapy without proper consultancy and check up. That is why many doctors argue hormonal replacement therapy has proven beneficial for their patients but others decline the facts and consider potential risks related to therapy. The conclusion to this is that if we have not serious problems then avoid such artificial methods of hormone replacement.
