testosterone deficiency syndrome

- Erectile dysfunction as an indicator
German men are still not sufficiently informed about the ways of her body and make too little to their own health. A fact that was recently confirmed as part of the First German Men's Health Men's Health Report of the Foundation and the German Agency for Health and husband again. In particular, the 40th beyond the Age occurring hormonal changes, the so-called Ageing Male' symptoms are discussed in urological practice remains low.

Professor Hermann M. Behre, Hall points to the leading clinical symptoms of testosterone deficiency in hypogonadism: Sexual dysfunction in the form of erectile dysfunction (ED) and reduced morning erections and sexual desire (libido) occur especially in men over 40 years on . "Even with a testosterone hormone serum level of 8.5 nmol / l occurs significantly more often to treat erectile dysfunction," said Behre. A determination of testosterone levels in serum is therefore recommended in the clinical diagnosis of erectile dysfunction. Why is the concept of rational treatment of erectile dysfunction or loss of libido in patients with a testosterone hormones deficiency is not taking PDE-5 inhibitors, but the testosterone replacement therapy. Patients with erectile dysfunction who respond to therapy with PDE-5 inhibitors alone and do not have the same testosterone deficiency will benefit from additional treatment with testosterone.

When testosterone replacement is displayed?

Generally, at values below 8 nmol / l after two indexes measuring the serum testosterone levels, testosterone replacement. At the limit of 8 nmol / L to 12 nmol / l treatment is needed if symptoms are present. Therapeutic doses of testosterone alone can achieve in half of patients with erectile dysfunction, a clinical benefit.According to Professor Aksam A. Yassin, Norderstedt, have shown that testosterone gel Testim ® is that it can be compared with other gel formulations higher testosterone levels in the blood, that is achieve better effects without increased side effect profile. The good tolerability, low cost and easy application form (a 5 g tube daily is equivalent to 50 mg of testosterone), provide additional patient benefits.
