WILMINGTON, NC, February 15, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ Testosterone therapy has now been shown to be beneficial for older men knocking down the long-held assertion that it was detrimental to their hearts. Men can now regain their youthful vitality and ease the symptoms that accompany low testosterone levels.
What is Testosterone Therapy?
Hypogonadism is a disease in which the body is unable to produce normal amounts of testosterone due to a problem with the testicles or with the pituitary gland that controls the testicles. The symptoms of low testosterone include: loss of bone density and muscle mass, increased body fat, osteoporosis, diminished sexual drive, erectile dysfunction, anemia, frailty, depression, and coronary disease. Testosterone therapy is a way for men to improve the signs and symptoms of this disease. By opting for testosterone therapy, men can increase the amount of testosterone in their body up to sufficient levels.
Is it harmful to heart patients?
In the past, it was assumed that testosterone therapy posed potential health risks to men, like heart attacks and strokes. However, this is not true according to the latest research. The researchers at Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute have presented a new study which deduces that testosterone therapy can help heart patients a great deal. The study shows that heart patients given testosterone therapy showed much better results than the patients not receiving the treatment.
The study further claims that the notion that testosterone therapy increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes is not correct. It discovered that heart patients who did not receive any testosterone therapy were 80% more likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke than the ones who received the therapy.
How was the study conducted?
The study involved 755 male patients suffering from heart disease ranging in age from 58 to 78, and tested the patients in groups of three. Each group was given testosterone therapy in the form of a gel or by injections, and their heart conditions were monitored for possible effects.
The results of this study are a significant leap in medical history. It concludes that contrary to the popular belief that testosterone therapy harms a mans heart, the use of this therapy can be improved or prevent heart disease. This study will help define further medical strategies related to heart conditions and problems. Now older men with low testosterone levels can be treated without fear of causing heart problems and allow them to continue active lifestyles.
Overall, our study suggests that what is best for mens health is to keep testosterone levels balanced and within a normal range, said Dr. Connie Odom.
