What are the symptoms of male hormone health?

In fact, everyone has a lot of misunderstandings about male hormone health. It is never a single external manifestation such as beards, big muscles, and a thick voice. The core is that the secretion of androgens, mainly testosterone, in the body is in a state of dynamic balance. There is no disorder that is too high or too low. The entire physiological and emotional state of the person is in a stable and comfortable range.

I have met many fitness friends. When testicle-stimulating supplements were very popular a few years ago, there was a boy who had been training for two years and ate them randomly in order to gain muscle quickly. During that time, his beard actually grew rough every other day, and his deadlift weight also increased by almost 20 kilograms. However, this guy who originally had a particularly gentle personality,... However, because the owner of the barbecue restaurant burnt the barbecue tendons and argued with others for half an hour, I could not sleep with my eyes open at two or three in the morning counting sheep. I went to the hospital for a sex hormone test and found that the testosterone value was more than twice the normal upper limit. This seemingly "hormone-filled" state is actually unhealthy. Nowadays, there are many voices on the Internet saying that having more body hair means insufficient hormones. In fact, this statement has been controversial in academic circles. The amount of body hair is more related to genes and the sensitivity of hair follicles to androgens. Some people are born with hair follicles that are sensitive to androgens. Even if their testosterone is at a low normal level, they can still grow thick beards and leg hair. On the other hand, there are people with completely normal testosterone levels who are born with little body hair, which is not unhealthy at all.

To put it in a more down-to-earth way, if you follow a regular schedule, don't always feel sluggish when you wake up in the morning, occasionally work overtime until 12 o'clock, and get 8 hours of sleep the next day to recover, and your sexual desire is at a frequency that you feel comfortable with, and you won't be so excited that it affects your normal work and life, or have no ideas for a month or two, then your hormonal status will basically not be that bad. Hormones are like a mediator in the body. The higher the concentration, the better. The most comfortable one is the one that suits your body's needs. If you haven't changed your diet recently or stopped exercising suddenly, and the fat on your belly suddenly increases, especially if your waistline increases faster than other places, and you always feel lack of energy and inexplicable low mood, then it may be a sign of insufficient testosterone secretion.

I used to have a colleague who always checked the self-examination form on the Internet, saying that his lack of body hair and easy fatigue must be due to low testosterone, and he wanted to take testicle-stimulating health supplements. However, he was taken to the hospital for a check-up. It was not a hormonal problem at all, but a fatigue caused by hypothyroidism. Taking supplements will increase the burden on the body. If you are really worried that you have hormonal problems, it is most accurate to go to the hospital and take a blood test to check the six sex hormones. There is no need to be anxious about the stereotypes on the Internet. After all, everyone’s basic hormone levels vary greatly. As long as the values ​​are within the normal range and you have no uncomfortable symptoms, even if the values ​​are a little lower than others, you are still in a healthy state.
