Men's Health


It is considered that men's health is about andrology and urology, but in fact the issue is much broader.

Testosterone is a hormone which makes a man. Testosterone in male body works on male genitalia, prostate gland, seminal vesicles, epididymis, penis; activates metabolism of fats, proteins, cholesterol, microelements; normalizes spermatogenesis, stimulates sexual manifestations and other processes.

Testosterone mainly has its effects on formation and activation of male libido, sexual arousal and also intensity of orgasm. With age (starting from 30 years old) in male body testosterone level decreases. At this time, do start problems with health, muscles stop growing, and instead, grows belly and do appear wrinkles.

Testosterone deficiency has negative effects on almost all organs and systems in male body. Testosterone is called “hormone of happiness” and its deficiency affects not only physical and emotional condition of a male – he experiences bad mood, depressions and unmotivated pessimism. Also, gradually decreases the ability for intellectual thinking along with working ability and physical endurance, and besides this, sexual activity lowers.

Most men note symptoms of sexual disorder such as erectile dysfunction. Most often men think it is sign of male weakness or the result of aging. However, in fact, erectile dysfunction is the result of vessel walls disorder in the whole male body and not only in penis. Major changes occur in next systems: cardiovascular, urogenital, central nervous system, musculoskeletal system, and skin. Coronary disease signs show that it is primary stage of circulation disorder not only in pelvic organs but also in whole cardiovascular system and other organs. Unfortunately, usually patients seek doctor's advice quite late.
