Testosterone deficiency is becoming increasingly common for men, and even in women. Upwards of 4 million Americans are living with low testosterone but a very low percentage of those people are actually treating the condition. Some may be hesitant to start treatments due to safety concerns. For years, some believed that there might be a link between testosterone therapies and an increased risk of heart issues.
Fortunately, a recent study has confirmed that testosterone treatments are much safer than many believed. The research examined 24,000 Medicare patients and found that testosterone therapies do not increase cardiovascular risk—they may actually decrease it as much as 30 percent.
Symptoms such as fatigue, emotional imbalance, sexual dysfunction, weight and muscle loss could indicate low testosterone levels and should not be overlooked. Contact Principal Medical Group to find out more about the symptoms and treatments of testosterone deficiency.
