Increasing and decreasing testosterone levels in men
For every guy, testosterone or nebido is important. It is he who contributes to the development of the genitals in guys from the very embryonic development. This hormone is not only in guys, but also in women, the difference between them will be in the amount of hormone produced. During childhood, a child has a small amount of androgen in the testes, but with adolescence, the level of the hormone increases. It is this increase that is the prerequisite for the transformation of a child into a real man.
What level of testosterone should a healthy man have
Before you understand what testosterone should be in men, you need to understand what factors influence this rate.
- So basically, Testosterone levels in men are adversely affected:
- psychological disorders;
- decreased immunity due to infectious and other diseases;
- obesity and everything related to it;
- bad atmosphere;
- bad habits;
- organism genetics.
A person must once and for all get rid of these factors in order to restore normal hormonal levels, which has a positive effect on the body, in the form of:
- stable development of genitals;
- stable spermatogenesis;
- formulating male behavior with the characteristics of a real male;
- libido stimulation.
Therefore, in order to achieve the above positive factors, it is necessary that the rate of testosterone in men in the blood is in order. There will be different indicators for each age group.
Therefore, you need to consider the normal level of testosterone in men by age in the form of the following table:
- for newborns (up to 1 year old) - 0.42-0.72 nmol / liter (n / l);
- young children (from 1 to 7 years old) - 0.1-1.12 n / l;
- adolescents (8-14 years old) - 0.1-2.37 n / l;
- boys (from 14 to 18 years old) - 0.98-38.5 n / l;
- adults (from 18 to 50 years old) - 8.64-29 n / l;
- elderly people (from 50 years old) - 0.68-25.7 n / l.
In the general consistency, the level of hormones cannot be calculated, since it is formulated from the sum of hormones in a free form and in a bound state. So for a male body, nebido in free form should not exceed 2%, and in a bound state - 98%. All this can be found out by analyzing the level of hormones.
Like total testosterone, the importance of each form of androgen is important.
So, for example, in the case of a hormone disruption in a free or binding form, the following problems may begin:
- metabolic problems;
- psychological disorders;
- problems with the cardiovascular system;
- development of impotence;
- decrease in muscle mass.
Therefore, as well as in general, and for individual components of testosterone should be closely monitored. For example, the normal level of testosterone in the blood, in general, according to the results of the analysis, the level of the hormone in the blood should be in men and at 60 years old 46-224 ng / dl. But, it is worth noting that at the age of 50, this level gradually begins to decrease. From the age of 70, the analysis should be in the amount of 6-73 ng / dl.
How does a man behave if his testosterone is below normal?
As a rule, guys in their 30s can undergo a decrease in testosterone levels in the blood. And the reason for this can be various external factors. For men, already over 40 years old, there is a tendency to a decrease in the androgen binder. In simple language, by these years a man is experiencing a midlife crisis. This high level of nebido can only be enjoyed by guys between the ages of 20 and 30, this is just the right time to start a family and think about the future. At the age of 40, a midlife crisis and the ensuing consequences are already beginning.
The norm in men in old age of testosterone, as mentioned above, is falling, so they have difficulty in gaining muscle mass and a tendency to obesity, while it will be quite difficult to lose those extra pounds later.
It is worth noting that without special tests, the testosterone level in men, the norm in the blood, is difficult to check, but there are general factors that indicate that the level of nebido has really dropped.
These include factors from this table:
- increase the tone of voice;
- decrease in body hair growth, except for scalp hair, as baldness indicates that a person has an increased level of the hormone;
- obesity in the thighs and abdomen;
- insomnia;
- depression;
- infertility;
- frequent sweating;
- dry skin;
- fast weight loss.
It is clear that these factors do not yet mean that the problems began with the level of testosterone, but nevertheless, it will not interfere with turning to a specialist and taking the test once again.
The danger of low testosterone may lie in the fact that a person will begin a number of problems, namely:
- diabetes mellitus;
- atherosclerosis;
- infertility;
- prostate cancer;
- cardiovascular diseases.
All of the above diseases are quite dangerous for the male body, therefore, the norm of testosterone levels in men should be actively maintained.
So, for example, it is worth first to find out the reason for the decrease in the level of androgen in the blood in men:
- psychological disorders;
- genital trauma;
- long-term illnesses and medication;
- age;
- obesity is everything related to it;
- bad habits.
If a man has symptoms of a decrease in the level of nebido and there are confirming reasons for this, then an urgent need to consult a specialist so as not to aggravate the situation.
Excess testosterone levels in men
Testosterone levels can both rise and fall, and the reason for this is the following factors:
- great physical activity;
- early puberty in boys;
- tumors in the genital area;
- androgen resistance.
It is clear that with an increase in testosterone in men, the behavior will differ from the behavior of other guys. So these guys will have well-developed muscles, they will be impulsive and risky, and they will also show great sexual activity among the people around them.
On the other hand, when the level of testosterone in men is normal, they can be quite aggressive, excitable and have suicidal tendencies. Such guys differ from all by increased hairiness and the presence of purulent acne on the body. On the head, the situation is the opposite, that is, the hair practically falls out.
How to get testosterone back to normal?
Of course, if the hormonal level is disturbed, it can affect human health, so you need to monitor it and try to keep it normal. For this, drug therapy can help, which will have to be prescribed by specialists after undergoing tests. It is the analysis that will make it possible to determine the patient's condition.
Also, do not forget about a healthy diet, because this is a reliable and quick way to return testosterone to normal in men. So, scientists have proven that vegetarian food helps to lower the level of nebido. Therefore, for a real guy, there will be healthy food that is filled with fats. Cholesterol, which is found in meat, is a source of increasing testosterone in the blood. A guy's diet should contain red meat, which enriches the body with zinc and conducts testosterone in men to normal, therefore, a guy must have at least one meat dish in his daily diet.
After vigorous exercise, men should eat foods that are high in carbohydrates. So the main component of nutrition, after physical training, should be sugar. This product prevents the post-workout cortisil from breaking down and preventing the normal passage of nebido through the vessels.
Vitamin intake also helps to restore the norm of testosterone in the body. Vitamin C, which is found most in orange juice, will be important for the body.
During training, the main thing to remember is that you cannot overload. In the event of an overload of the body, muscle mass will not grow, and testosterone levels will jump significantly. Therefore, training should not be chaotic, but rational and thoughtful. It is this balanced workout that will help build muscle and keep testosterone levels normal.
Thus, both a decrease and an increase in the level of testosterone in the body does not have a positive effect on the body, so you need to carefully monitor your hormonal development so that you do not have health problems later.
