What is Low Testosterone Treatment Naples?

Testosterone Deficiency Syndrome (TD), effects about 2.1% of all men; with 50% of men over 80 years old having TD.

TD is often more common in men who are overweight or have diabetes. One study cites that 30% of overweight men had Low-T, compared to only 6.4% of those who have a normal weight.

The same study revealed that diabetes is a signficant risk factor with 24.5% of men with diabetes having Low-T compared to 12.6% of those who don’t have diabetes.

Non-specific symptoms are those that may or may not be linked to TD such as:

• Lower energy level, endurance and physical strength
• Poor memory
• Difficulty with finding words to say
• Poor focus
• Not doing well at work

Having any one of the specific or non-specific symptoms may not mean that you have TD. But if you have a mix of symptoms, for instance, if you start to feel very tired and sad over a period of time and this is a change for you, you may want to check for TD.

Causes

Some persons are born with conditions that cause Testosterone Deficiency (TD) such as:

• Klinefelter syndrome
• Noonan syndrome
• Ambiguous genitalia (when the sex organs develop in ways that are not typical looking)

Some men may develop Low-T because of conditions like these:

• Damage to testicles by accident
• Removal of testicles because of cancer
• Chemotherapy or radiation
• Pituitary gland disease leading to hormone deficiency
• Infection
• Autoimmune disease (when the body makes antibodies that attack its own cells)

Basically, if your testicles keep making less testosterone than normal, your blood levels of testosterone will fall. Many men who develop TD have Low-T levels linked to:

• Aging
• Obesity
• Metabolic syndrome (high blood pressure, high blood sugar, unhealthy cholesterol levels, and belly fat)
• Use of medications such as antidepressants and narcotic pain medications
