Endocrinologist Julia Kathuria: both men and women can experience testosterone deficiency in the body.
Testosterone is the main sex hormone in men, and a decrease in its level negatively affects their libido, erection and ability to enjoy sexual relations. But problems related to the sexual sphere are a specific symptom of the disorder, while there are also non-specific ones – doctor Kathuria told Gazeta.ru about this. In particular, with testosterone deficiency, men experience sleep disturbances, apathy and lethargy. In addition, they tolerate physical activity less well, get tired quickly, complain about a lack of energy, lack of interest in life and business activity.
Also, with testosterone deficiency in men, weight increases faster and blood sugar rises.
< br>“Testosterone deficiency in men is accompanied by a number of metabolic disorders and problems of the cardiovascular system: weight increases, blood sugar rises, and the risk of heart attack increases,” listed Yulia Kathuria.
The doctor added that testosterone is also present in the female body. Its deficiency in women is also associated with the disappearance of libido and the lack of energy necessary for everyday activities. This problem often arises in connection with the onset of menopause.
Earlier, the portal MedikForum.ru wrote that joint diseases can be a consequence of sexually transmitted infections.
