Causes of Low Testosterone Levels: Understanding How Low Testosterone Results to Impotence

October 29, 2024

Low testosterone and erectile dysfunction can predispose men to health hazard. Testosterone is chiefly responsible for the male secondary sex characteristics.  These sexual characteristics include deepening of the voice and broadening of the shoulders and chest.

Testosterone plays a vital role in men’s sexual drive. Hence, a drop in testosterone levels can greatly affect a man’s libido or urge to have sex. Also, low testosterone level can lead to erectile dysfunction and other erection problems when left untreated.

What are the Possible Causes of Low Testosterone levels?

According to the American Journal of Epidemiology, obese patients have significantly lower testosterone levels than men with healthy weight. Obesity is often associated with high cholesterol, which can limit blood flow to the penis. As a result, men will find difficulty to achieve erections and may further lead to erectile dysfunction.

Diabetes is also one of the main causes of low testosterone levels. CBS News Health reports how diabetes can potentially lead to low testosterone levels.  Testosterone works to burn off fats and regulates insulin levels. Thus, low testosterone levels can worsen the symptoms of diabetes.

Doctors from the University of New York at Buffalo support that about one-third of men with diabetes are at risk of high body fat, low muscle mass, low bone density and erectile dysfunction.

Diabetes can affect men’s sexual function by destroying the blood vessels and arteries necessary for an erection. Hence, most men with diabetes often suffer from low testosterone and impotence.

Glandular problems are another potential cause of low testosterone levels.  Testes produce testosterone as a result of stimulating the luteinizing hormone of the pituitary gland. When testicles fail to produce adequate amounts of the hormone in spite of normal pituitary production, men can suffer from low testosterone and impotence. This is condition is known as primary testicular failure.

Another common glandular cause of low testosterone level is inadequate production of pituitary luteinizing hormone. This is often due to a pituitary gland defect or tumor.

To prevent serious problems of low testosterone, hormone replacement therapies will help these problems solve. Testopel is a hormone treatment often have great success in raising testosterone levels.  This is safe and effective for both old and young men with hormone deficiency.

All About Testopel Pellets

Testopel insertion is absolutely free from pain. The insertion area is three to four inches below the beltline or approximately at the top of the rear hip pocket. Each pellet is about one-third of the size of a dime. It is implanted below the skin into the fat layers where most men are not aware about it.

A specialist will determine the right number of pellets. After the insertion, doctors will seal the implant site using Steri-Strips. Stitches are not necessary for this kind of treatment. Ice compress in the site is important to relieve inflammation.

Testopel is proven beneficial to men with low testosterone and impotence. Also, Testopel help reduce incidence of erectile dysfunction and other erection problems.
