Male Testosterone Replacement
Male Testosterone Replacement. is needed for many reasons. Many body tissues are sensitive to testosterone, inclulding the muscles, bones, brain, skin, testicles, blood, and prostate gland. This means that any alteration in testosterone level will have very wide-ranging effects. For men with truly inadequate testosterone, increasing testosterone may be a boonor at least the risks are outweighted by the potential benefits of therapy. For men with normal testosterone levels, through increasing male testosterone is hazardous. The most familiar risk from boosting testosterone is raising the risk of prostate cancer or prostate enlargement. Prostate is very sensitive to testosterone levles and testosterone causes prostate growth, while it elimination shriks the prostate. Therapy may hurt the balance of high-density lipoprotein ( the so-called good cholesterol) to low density lipoprotein (the bad cholesterol) but more recent studies suggest that as long as the testosterone level is held within normal limits, the blood lipid profile is unaffected or may even improve. Testosterone replacement therapy can sometimes cause other, less potentially serious effects, such as increased acne, increased snoring and sleep apnea (sudden waking from a transitory interruption of breathing) softening of the testicles, and breat tenderness or enlargement. It may also speed up male pattern baldness. Infertility can be casued by low testosterone .
