There are a few men whose androgen level decreases with the increase of age, leading to gradual decline of physical strength, decline of sexual function, and a series of symptoms of male menopause such as dizziness and sentimentality. At this time, appropriate use of androgen can improve the content of androgen in the blood, which can improve the symptoms of depression, anxiety, headache, insomnia and other symptoms of menopause, as well as improve their sexual impulse. For this type of person, androgen supplementation can be considered, but experts emphasize that it should be used under the guidance and close observation of doctors to avoid side effects.
At the same time, experts pointed out that, generally speaking, because of the growth of age, the level of sexual hormones in men decreases more slowly than women, and most men can adapt to this change. The majority of elderly men have had long-term sexual experience, and can still maintain certain sexual function through long-term conditioned reflex, which is different from those with low sexual function due to congenital testicular hypoplasia.
If the male hormone is supplemented externally for a long time for middle-aged and elderly men, if it is not mastered properly, the effect will not be constant, and the second is that it will pose a threat to health, promote prostate hyperplasia or increase the probability of prostate cancer, and the result is that the old disease will not be eliminated and new disease will be added. In general, male hormone preparations are easy to be used by middle-aged and elderly men, with less advantages and more disadvantages, and should not be used indiscriminately.
