Low testosterone is not a consequence of aging.

A few months ago, a medical study of the MMUM (Michigan Medicine University of Michigan) pointed out ways by warning that low testosterone is not a consequence of aging, concluding that Monitoring testosterone levels is crucial for all men, regardless of age..

Today, months later, specialists are beginning to echo the news. An increasing number of young men (between 20 and 40 years of age) are suffering from physical, mental, and sexual conditions typically associated with hypogonadism. This was stated yesterday on the channel's health blog. CNN.

The problems these young people focus on the most are related, above all, to the sexual sphere: erectile dysfunction, lack of libido and poor sexual performance. Until recently, in the medical community, these dysfunctions had always been associated with older men (between 40 and 80 years of age), but recent evidence forces us to rethink two questions. First, that Hypogonadism may not be as age-related a condition as we thought.. And second, but no less important: Why are such young and theoretically healthy people starting to experience these kinds of problems?

Hypogonadism in advanced age

«Low testosterone remains more common in older men. Hypogonadism, better known as andropause, causes a decline in testosterone levels over time. In fact, after age 40, men experience a 3% decline in their testosterone levels per year.», says Dr. Geovanni Espinosa, associate professor and chair of the Department of Urology at NYU Lanogone Health.

Low testosterone is not a consequence of aging.

Even so, today it is possible to affirm that low testosterone It is not a consequence of aging. On the contrary, there are a number of factors that directly impact and influence a man's hormonal levels. Dr. Espinosa himself, co-author of the book Integrative Sexual Health, points to some of these factors such as mood, energy levels, genetics or medication taken.
A good number of doctors believe that others Factors such as obesity, stress and recurrent lack of sleep play an important role in this problem.. In short, a lifestyle that is too fast-paced in which the diet limps and the sport practice and lack of quality rest does not help maintain balanced hormone levels. Thus, these factors could be considered direct and indirect causes of early hypogonadism.

How to treat hypogonadism in young men?

As in older men, Hypogonadism or low testosterone is perfectly treatable in younger menHowever, the treatment must be justified and prescribed and monitored by a medical professional in all cases.
"This, like all hormones, carries out multiple actions in our body and mind," says Dr. Andrew Weil, editor of the aforementioned book. "In my opinion, testosterone should only be prescribed and administered to patients with documented hypogonadism through appropriate blood tests."
