What is Testosterone?
|
|
Testosterone is
responsible for normal growth and development of
male sex organs and maintenance of secondary sex
characteristics (secondary sex characteristics
such as beard growth, muscular strength and
energy level). The
effects of testosterone (or lack there of) are
evident in a man’s mood, sexual function, energy
level, muscle mass and cognitive function.
Testosterone is the primary androgenic hormone,
and its production and secretion is the end
product of a series of hormonal interactions.
|
What is Testosterone Deficiency?
|
|
Testosterone deficiency results
when the testicles fail to
produce normal levels of
testosterone.
Effects of testosterone
deficiency are lack of energy,
diminished libido, erectile
problems, infertility, impaired
masculinity, changes in body
composition, reductions in body
and facial hair, and
osteoporosis.
In addition to these
complaints, hormone deficient
men are known to experience
bouts with anger, confusion,
depression, and fatigue that are
significantly higher than those
reported by men with normal
testosterone levels.

Diagnosis of Testosterone
Deficiency
|
|
Before
beginning testosterone therapy,
a physician must perform a
complete medical and medication
history exam on the patient,
followed by a physical exam and
directed laboratory evaluation.
The medical history
should include questions
regarding developmental
abnormalities at birth, the rate
of virilization at the time of
puberty and the current status
of sexual function.
Hormone deficient men
have statistically significant
reductions in the incidence of
nocturnal erections, the degree
of penile rigidity during
erections and the frequency of
sexual thoughts, feelings of
desire, and sexual fantasies.
The physician is also
looking for alterations in body
composition, including increases
in body fat and reduction in
muscle mass.

Monitoring Patients on
Testosterone Replacement
|
|
Patients
on testosterone replacement
therapy should be monitored by a
qualified physician to ensure
that testosterone levels are
within normal levels.
The physician
prescribing testosterone
replacement should evaluate any
changes in the clinical symptoms
and signs of testosterone
deficiency and should assess for
other concerns, such as acne and
increase in breast size and
tenderness.
Like any other medical
practice, unmonitored,
unregulated testosterone therapy
could lead to serious injury.
|
Prostate Cancer
|
| |
|
There appears to be little
association between testosterone replacement
therapy and the development of prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer has multiple stimuli; including
dietary, geographic, genetic, and other
influences are all thought to play a role in the
development of the disease. Recent studies
indicate that testosterone levels have no
apparent systematic relationship to the
incidence of prostate cancer. |
