Testosterone as a panacea

I thought that Viagra can become a novel hype panacea but it was found that testosterone is also promising!

Injections of the male sex hormone testosterone could offer new hope to thousands of men with low libido – while also helping to protect them against heart attacks, a new study suggests.

Men who were offered a course of five injections saw their sex drive improve dramatically as well as their fitness levels, mood and their ability to concentrate.

They also reported weight loss.

In the US study, numbers who said they had a low libido dropped from 64 per cent before the treatment to ten per cent.

Although the study was carried out on men with medically deficient levels of testosterone, known as hypogonadism.

 

Experts believe the findings could be relevant to the far larger group of men whose testosterone has simply dropped to the low end of normal – something that occurs frequently in men as they age.

 

Testosterone, the hormone produced by the testicles, is responsible for the development of male sexual characteristics as well as maintaining muscle bulk, keeping bones healthy, helping the body to produce enough red blood cells and improving mood.
