The Testosterone Cream Blog

The article I just came across today talks about heart problems and how testosterone might help someone recover from heart failure. A study was done which supports this controversial statement. They used 70 men who have heart failure and low levels of testosterone. They all received heart therapy, but half of them also received 1000mg of testosterone three times, once every six weeks. The men who received the testosterone therapy showed improvement. The “injections of the male hormone testosterone increased blood-pumping ability and heart muscle strength in men with heart failure”

Men do experience something related to the female menopause. It is called andropause. This often occurs between the ages of 40 and 55. Similar to menopause, it is a distinguished drop in hormone levels (testosterone in males and estrogen in females). In contrast with menopause, andropause occurs gradually while in women the changes come on much more sudden. While experiencing andropause, men may experience changes in attitude, fatigue, a loss of energy, physical agility, and sex drive. Because symptoms can be vague and can vary among men, andropause is usually misdiagnosed. Men usually don’t like to admit that there is a problem so it often goes untreated. Another problem is that physicians don’t always see the problem as hormonal. If anyone is experiencing possible andropausal (or menopausal) symptoms, they should go get their hormone levels checked right away.
