A look at male testosterone deficiency and its impact on health.
Nearly 1 million men in the U.K. are currently suffering with a low testosterone, and there are probably thousands more out there that are not even aware they have it. Testosterone is the principle male sex hormone, and just as menopause occurs due to a loss of oestrogen in women, a very similar process actually occurs in men. Many of the symptoms are simply shrugged off as "Normal for middle age". Watch this short video to find out more about how treatment can improve life quality and health outcomes and can reduce the risks of conditions such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, depression, memory disorders, and brittle bones.
If you have any further questions or concerns following this session please consult a doctor or medical professional.
