What are the negative effects of testosterone deficiency? The symptoms of testosterone deficiency can vary in severity and impact on the patient's quality of life. Below you will find some possible effects of testosterone deficiency in men:

  • Erectile problems: one of the most common symptoms of testosterone deficiency is difficulty achieving and maintaining an erection, which can lead to erectile dysfunction.
  • Loss of libido: low testosterone levels can lead to decreased libido (sexual attraction) and reduced interest in sex.

The effects of testosterone therapy can vary and depend on the individual patient's needs, the dose of the drug, the form of testosterone administration and other factors. Here are some potential effects of testosterone therapy in men:

  • Improved sleep quality: some patients report improved sleep quality and easier falling asleep after starting testosterone therapy.

Q&A

Hormone replacement therapy is a medical procedure that aims to restore hormonal balance in men suffering from erectile dysfunction related to a deficiency of one of the hormones, such as testosterone. It is the key hormone responsible for sexual performance and its deficiency can lead to erectile problems, loss of libido and an overall reduction in the quality of sexual life. Hormone replacement therapy involves giving patients a synthetic or natural hormone to compensate for its deficiency in the male body.

Hormone replacement therapy is widely recognised as an effective solution for men with testosterone deficiency and associated erectile problems. Clinical studies show that hormone therapy can significantly improve erection, libido, sperm quality and overall sexual performance in patients with testosterone deficiency. The effects of the therapy can be noticeable after just a few weeks of use and are usually permanent, provided that hormone doses are regularly monitored and adjusted.

Hormone replacement therapy is recommended primarily for men with the following symptoms and problems:

  • low testosterone levels confirmed by laboratory tests,
  • erectile dysfunction associated with testosterone deficiency,
  • low libido and lack of interest in sex,
  • a general reduction in energy, mood and well-being.

When considering hormone replacement therapy, there are some contraindications that should be taken into account. These include:

  • prostate cancer or any other type of cancer that may be sensitive to a particular hormone, such as testosterone,
  • anaemia associated with polycythaemia,
  • uncontrolled cardiovascular disease,
  • significant liver or kidney disease.

Before starting hormone replacement therapy, the patient should have a consultation with a specialist in our clinic. The doctor will take a detailed medical history and order blood tests to assess the levels of testosterone and other hormones in the body, as well as other health parameters. Based on the results of these tests, an appropriate dose and form of hormone administration will be determined that is best suited to the patient's individual needs.

Once you have started hormone replacement therapy, you will need to visit our clinic regularly to monitor the effects of your treatment and adjust your hormone doses. The doctor will also monitor other health indicators, such as PSA (prostate specific antigen) levels and haematocrit, to ensure safe and effective treatment. In addition, patients should be aware of possible side effects and respond to them as necessary.
