The effect of injecting male hormone

Androgen is an indispensable hormone in the male body. If the male body lacks androgen, it will affect the normal development of the body and the body's metabolism will cause problems, especially for males in adolescence. Too little androgen secretion will lead to delayed organ development and have a great impact on male health. The injection of androgen is to prevent this situation from happening, but it needs to be injected under the guidance of a doctor.

Androgen is an important factor in a man's height and strength. It not only affects a man's sexual impulse, but also controls and affects his entire body, from the brain, bones to blood vessels. Androgens include testosterone, androstenedione and dehydroepiandrosterone, etc., which are mainly produced by the testicles. Under normal circumstances, the level of male hormone in adult males is between 300-1000ng/DL, and the ideal value is 500-800ng/DL. If it is lower than 300ng/DL, it will have adverse effects on men's health.

Symptoms of low testosterone

①Your sexual desire is decreasing

In fact, both men and women have male hormones in their bodies, generally in a ratio of 10/1, which affects the sexual desire of both men and women. The difference is that women's hormones are mainly secreted by the adrenal glands and are also affected by many other complex factors. For men, the most direct and common reaction to low levels of testosterone in the body is low libido. Although testosterone is not the only determinant of male sexual desire, it is directly related to male sexual desire. If a man's testosterone level is low, it will not only affect his sexual desire, but also his erectile function. I am too lazy to look back at the flowers because of lack of testosterone.

② Your muscles are shrinking

Androgen has a very significant effect on muscle growth. It can help the body produce and synthesize muscle-forming proteins, inhibit protein breakdown, increase muscle fibers, and make muscles stronger. Therefore, androgen is a stimulant that athletes must test for before competing. When the level of male hormones in the body decreases, muscles are not broken down directly. Instead, they first manifest as a decrease in muscle strength, which may last for several weeks before the muscle volume and quality slowly decreases. In a Japanese study, men with low testosterone levels had a two to three times higher risk of muscle wasting than those with normal levels.

③Your penis may also become smaller

If a man's testosterone levels drop, the penis, scrotum, and testicular tissue will gradually shrink. The length and diameter of the penis will continue to decrease, and the hardness of the erection will continue to decrease. The volume of the testicles will gradually decrease, even to half of their original size, and for adults, testosterone replacement therapy cannot restore their volume. However, androgen supplementation has a certain effect on micropenis caused by low androgen levels during adolescent development.

④Your belly will get bigger

As the saying goes, when God closes a door for you, he will often open a window for you. The sun rises in the east and the rain falls in the west. It seems that there is no clear sky, but there is sunshine. In an Australian study of prostate cancer patients with high androgen levels, after one year of androgen deprivation therapy, they gained 14% body fat and 22% visceral fat, and an increase in visceral fat increases the risk of diabetes and heart disease.

⑤Your memory will get worse

Reduced androgen levels can have adverse effects on thinking and memory. In a 2015 Australian study, men whose testosterone levels dropped over five years also scored lower on tests of mental function and memory. In addition to the amygdala, other brain areas involved in memory and attention also have testosterone receptors. Researchers note that when androgens don't make it to these receptors in sufficient quantities, your brain cells may not function properly.
