TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – For Men probably thought they would be mighty forever. Keep in mind, there are conditions in which men can also go through menopause as well as women. In this case, one of the causes is a lack of the hormone testosterone.
Lack of testosterone in men is not dangerous or not to the point of death. However, this situation certainly affects mental health and interferes with the function of the body’s organs as a whole.
Testosterone is a hormone that is responsible for increasing muscle mass and sexual arousal. As you get older, testosterone levels begin to decline by about two percent each year starting in your 30s. This decrease is natural and should not cause any major problems.
Testosterone deficiency occurs because the testes do not produce enough of the hormone. The medical term is hypogonadism. Some people take the easier-to-understand term for the condition of deficiency testosterone hormone, namely male menopause.
Here are the symptoms of a testosterone deficiency:
- Fatigue
- Do not get excited
- Depression
- Having anxiety disorders
- Sensitive, easily upset or irritable
- Low libido
- Erectile dysfunction
- Decreased muscle strength
- Excessive sweating especially at night
- Difficult to concentrate
- Forgetful
One method of treatment to overcome this testosterone deficiency is testosterone replacement therapy. The patient must undergo a series of tests with an endocrinologist or specialist hormone to check whether it matches or not. If it is suitable, medical action can be carried out by injecting the hormone testosterone.
