What Is Testosterone Therapy?
This is actually quite difficult to answer in all certainty. The reason for this is that every single person has a different level of testosterone with which they feel comfortable. And how people feel is actually what is important. If you feel that you are happy with your energy level, your motivation to get up in the morning and to perform tasks and your sex drive is good and you don’t always feel like falling asleep the minute you get home and your moods are quite predictable then your testosterone is probably in balance. Yet, someone else could have a…
Testosterone Supplements
Is it wise to take a testosterone supplement? Before answering this question we should look a little bit of the history of testosterone’s use in men and women. The very word testosterone conjures up an image of rather power-hungry and oversexed alpha males like Russell Crowe in Gladiator and Arnold Schwarzenegger in real life. However in America it is readily available and has been dubbed “the new viagra”. You can get patches, gels, injections and implants supplementing testosterone levels, and consumers over the world can also get hold of it over the internet. The past 15 years in the UK…
What Is The Testosterone Patch?
What is a Testosterone Patch? In basic terms, transparent testosterone patches are stuck onto the skin and release the male hormone testosterone into the system. The idea is to try and help women regain their love lives through an effect on their sex drive theoretically as potent as Viagra is for men. The patches have been available for men for a while, but the patches hadn’t been available for women-only until a while ago, and was welcomed by menopause specialists in particular, who could prescribe a course of treatment which was less dangerous than others. It is also convenient as…
Measuring Your Testosterone Level
How do you measure your testosterone level? An important point to start with is that there has not yet been a relationship established between sexual dysfunction in women and a specific level of testosterone. There hasn’t yet been established a level of testosterone below which women are to be termed deficient which means that there isn’t a level to be restored to in order to say that a woman is replete. So the reason why you might need to measure your testosterone is because you are showing a possible symptom of low testosterone, which is sexual dysfunction, and you want…
What Is Testosterone Cream?
What is testosterone cream? Testosterone cream is an alternative to testosterone injections and testosterone patches. Topical testosterone cream is used as it is said to be absorbed more consistently by the body than the testosterone injections. It is applied to the arms and the torso. However, as with the other types of testosterone supplements, testosterone has several disadvantages. The results obtained by the cream are not as drastic as the results you can achieve from testosterone injections. It is not as effective for the same period of time in the body as a testosterone injection and has to therefore be…
Low Testosterone Level
What does it mean to have low testosterone? As many men begin to reach middle age, their testes (where most of the testosterone is made) become less responsive to the hormones controlling the production of testosterone. But it’s not just the amount of testosterone that matters, it’s the level of “free” testosterone that is biologically active amongst the testosterone that is produced that dictates whether or not you have low testosterone. So what happens when you get low testosterone levels? Well, you may get a slight paunch or you may fine it harder to climb your stairs without getting short…
