Men's power reduction also! How do 40s and 50s overcome "men's menopause" What is "testosterone" that is also related to healthy longevity? (Part 3)
Early morning will also tell you the risk of vascular injury. Erection occurs when NO (nitric oxide) that loosens the muscles of the penis acts and blood vessels spread, blood flows into the spongy body of the penis. It is testosterone that works to make this NO. The artery of the penis is the thinnest in the human body, the artery is 1 to 2 mm in diameter. The heart is 3-4 mm and the brain is 5-7 mm. Arteriosclerosis arises from thin blood vessels. Therefore, there are reports that men with erectile dysfunction have a high probability of developing heart disease (coronary artery disease) and cerebral infarction disease in the future.
Visit urology department and male menopause expert outpatient
If menopausal disorder is suspected, let's see a urology department who understands testosterone and other male hormones. In recent years, men's menopausal specialty outpatient who specializes in men's menopausal disorder is also increasing. I have posted a clinic that can receive men 's health care at the website of the Japan Men' s Health Medical Society, so please refer to it ( http://www.mens-health.jp/clinic )
Diagnosis is mainly done by measuring the free testosterone level in the blood by interview, blood test (2 to 3% of total testosterone decreases with age) etc. However, inspections that can be done with insurance application are limited, and DHEA value inspection etc. are also required to conduct more accurate diagnosis and improve treatment precision.
The treatment policy is decided according to the examination result. If the free testosterone level is less than 10 pg / mL, hormone replacement therapy (testosterone replacement therapy) will be carried out. There are options such as painting and sticking medicine, but it is only the injection that insurance is applied in Japan. I empirically believe that at least the initial stage of injection test is necessary to raise the testosterone level.
In the early stage of treatment, testosterone preparations are often administered once every two weeks. Although it may be desirable to administer it once a week at a pace, it will be self-medicated examination. The symptoms often improve in about six months, so after that switch to pace once a month, adjust the interval and amount of administration while watching the symptoms. Adverse effects include polycythemia.
Although it is said that there is a risk of developing prostate cancer, there is no such report. However, PSA (numerical value serving as an indicator of prostate cancer) is treated while examining on a regular basis. In addition to testosterone replacement therapy, if you have many sleeping disorders, you should administer Melatonin, PDE 5 inhibitor such as Cialis if improvement of erectile dysfunction is not observed.
In the days when it was said that "50 years of life" was said, it was considered merely a rest of life to continue in the menopausal period. However, due to progress in medicine, now it will be in the 80s age of life, and the life will continue for another 30 to 40 years after menopause.
As measures against lifestyle diseases, the number of people who care about meals and exercise increases, but there are not many people to pay attention to "testosterone" which can be said to be the most important source of energy. Testosterone is like an automobile engine oil. It is indispensable for maintaining the function of the body, and if you do not replenish it will cause problems. Just like glasses and dentures, it is healthy longevity medicine to compensate for the part you are hanging on.
"There is no longer" trouble ". "I got tired from the evening." Patients who have had symptomatic improvement after treatment of menopausal disorder or obstructive disorder align with their mouths. By raising the testosterone level and filling with engine oil, not only will it rejuvenate, but also visceral fat and muscle will increase. Let's also pay attention to the engine oil "Testosterone" to live, let's realize vitality and healthy longevity.
