Male Organ Health – Is Male Hormone Deficiency to Blame for Performance Dysfunction?
by John Dugan OwnerHaving
problems with pecker perkiness? It’s easy to joke around about performance
problems, but for men who experience them, they’re no laughing matter. Whether
they manifest as weak tumescence, anticlimactic releases or complete loss of
performance ability, these problems take a serious toll on a man’s physical and
emotional well-being, not to mention that of his significant other. What is
more: Performance dysfunction may be a symptom of poor male
organ health or an
underlying condition that needs to be identified and treated.
One
such condition is androgen deficiency, which is marked by abnormally low levels
of male hormones. There are many symptoms and causes of androgen deficiency,
and learning what to look for can help men know when to suspect this condition.
Androgen
Deficiency Symptoms
Low
levels of male hormones can cause an array of symptoms. Sensual symptoms include:
-
Reduced sensual drive
-
Reduced amount of seed
-
Weak tumescence
-
Weak emissions
Emotional
symptoms include:
- Depression
-
Low self-esteem
Non-sensual
physical symptoms include:
-
Fatigue
-
Mammary growth
-
Hot flashes/sweating
-
Reduced muscle mass
-
Reduced bone mass
-
Loss of body hair
-
Increased abdominal fat
Some
of these symptoms can result in chronic health conditions. Increased abdominal
fat, for example, is associated with type 2 diabetes. Loss of bone mass can
cause osteoporosis (brittle bone disease). And, of course, sensual symptoms can
lead to a reduced overall quality of life.
Causes
The
main causes of male hormone deficiency in men are:
-
Age
-
Sac problems leading to decreased production of male hormone (such as
undescended balls or complications related to cancer treatment)
-
Pituitary gland tumor (which interferes with the production of hormones in the
gland that cause the sac to manufacture male hormone)
-
Chronic use of medications, such as opioid pain-killers or steroids
-
Major trauma, illness or surgery
Treatment
Generally,
men with androgen deficiency are treated with hormone replacement therapy. Male
hormone can be injected, taken in medicine form or applied as a cream, gel or
skin patch.
If
a problem with the pituitary gland is the culprit, then men may receive
replacement therapy of the hormone produced by this gland.
When
medication use is behind androgen deficiency, men may talk with their doctors
about switching up their treatment method for whatever condition the medication
is intended to treat.
Self-Help
While
a severe case of hormone deficiency will likely require replacement therapy, men
with mild deficiencies may be able to combat the problem naturally. The
following self-help techniques may boost male hormone levels:
-
Exercise. When a man leads a sedentary lifestyle,
his body will adapt to his reduced need for male hormone by not making so much.
When he’s active, however, his muscles and bones need more male hormone: Need
and you shall receive! Both strength-training and cardio exercise are
important. Note: Overtraining can actually reduce male hormone levels, so men
should take rest days and avoid increasing their exercise load too quickly.
-
Sleep. Lack
of sleep, particularly when chronic, can throw the body’s hormones out of
whack. Men should get plenty of shut-eye as part of their male hormone
management plan.
-
Chill out. When a person is stressed, his body produces the hormone
cortisol, which has a negative impact on male hormone production. Managing
stress, anxiety, depression and other emotionally draining conditions will
promote higher male hormone levels as well as overall health.
-
Eat zinc. This mineral is imperative for
maintaining healthy male hormone levels. The best food sources are oysters,
lean beef, lamb, wheat germ and spinach.
-
Shed excess pounds. More weight equals more female hormone
equals less male hormone. Eat right in combination with hormone-boosting
exercise and say goodbye to extra weight.
Boosting
levels of male hormone will do wonders for male organ health and functionality.
Men may wish to supplement their care regimens with the use of a quality male organ health cream (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil). Look for alpha lipoic acid and vitamin
B5 on the ingredient list; these nutrients may help protect the cells of the
male organ. The best creams contain natural moisturizers like Shea butter and
vitamin E for silky-smooth skin.
