In the past, there were no medicines to treat the low testosterone and those suffering always suffered. As there are many improvements in the medical sciences, low levels of testosterone can now be treated. |
If a person with low testosterone does not take any treatment, he may have symptoms like depression, fatigue, body composition changes, loss of libido and risk of getting heart attacks.
The first treatment for low testosterone is a testosterone injection which is done by injecting the testosterone into the muscle directly. This treatment is prescribed by a doctor when a person has low levels of testosterone. Many doctors train the patient to inject himself so that he can do it in private at home. The advantages of this injection are that it is effective and cheap. The disadvantages are it is painful and the testosterone levels may rise or fall.
The second option is testosterone pellets, which are quite tiny in size and are kept underneath the skin. The pellets slowly discharge testosterone into the body. The advantages of pellets are they get dissolved into the body evenly and release the testosterone in a consistent way. However, it requires an incision to insert the pellet under the skin.
Testosterone cream can be applied on the body to increase the levels of testosterone. The advantages of the testosterone cream are that it can be used easily, it is effective, does not give pain, and incision is not needed. Testosterone gels are also like testosterone cream, and used in the same manner. However, the efficacy of testosterone creams and gels are questionable.
There are natural ways to increase the testosterone levels. Try eating around six meals a day. Here you would have to eat one meal every two or three hours. This will increase your metabolism and balance the hormone production process. Also, increase your monosaturated fat and essential fatty acid consumption. This includes eating foods like avocados, fish, peanuts, olive oil, flaxseed and canola oil. All these foods will increase the testosterone level in your body.
