Hello everyone, I am Dr. Shuyan, and I will explain to you about male androgens.

For the human body, the presence of hormones is particularly important, hormones can not only help the normal operation of the human body, but also highlight some sexual characteristics of the human body! So that the human body lives normally.

For men, they all want to have strong androgens in the body, and think that the more androgens in the body, the better; But in fact, after the age of 50, if the sex hormone is still too vigorous, and even bring these three problems to the body, you may wish to see if you are recruited?

What are the manifestations of men with high hormone levels in the body?

1. Strong body hair

If the male body has a strong secretion of androgens, then the body hair is usually very strong.

When walking on the street, you often see some men with a lot of body hair, which is because of the strong secretion of male hormones in their bodies; In addition, men with strong androgen secretion, most of the body hair is concentrated in the legs and chest, and the more body hair in these two parts, the higher the level of androgens in the body.

2. Sleep well

Affected by the environment, staying up late has become the norm for young people now, especially for male friends, life and work pressure is increasing, will affect sleep to a certain extent, some men will often stay up late and work overtime.

Long-term lack of sleep may lead to endocrine disorders, which in turn affect the androgens in the body, in general, men with strong male hormone secretion will not stay up late, and the quality of sleep is good.

3. Warm hands and feet

Under normal circumstances, if the hands and feet are cold for a long time, it may be caused by moisture, body cold, spleen and stomach deficiency in the body; As the weather gets colder, there will be more and more people with cold hands and feet, however, this will not happen to men who are strong in male hormones.

When male hormones are strong, the body's yang energy will be sufficient, and even in the case of low temperatures, the hands and feet will be warmer! Even in the cold winter, you will not be afraid of the cold.

The more androgens in the male body, the better? Let's be honest: after the age of 50, it may bring 3 problems

1. Prostatic hyperplasia

Although the cause of BPH is unknown, it is generally accepted that aging and functioning testicles are two important factors in BPH; After the age of 50, if the male androgen secretion is still relatively strong, it may stimulate prostatic hyperplasia.

In general, prostatic hyperplasia is also age-related; Studies have found that the number of androgen receptors in the prostate gland is significantly increased in patients with prostatic hyperplasia.

At the same time, the prostate gland in older men also converts testosterone into more active dihydrotestosterone; Therefore, relatively speaking, middle-aged and elderly people are more likely to suffer from prostatic hyperplasia.

2. Hair loss

Studies have found that most male hair loss is related to the strong secretion of male hormones, there are two main androgens in the male body, testosterone and dihydrotestosterone, dihydrotestosterone will attack hair follicles, over time, will cause hair follicles to shrink or even disappear!

In addition, men have a substance on their scalp called 5α-reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone. Because the forehead and top of the head are higher in dihydrotestosterone, and there is a preference for dihydrotestosterone, this area is more prone to hair loss.

3. Prostate cancer

After the age of 50, the function of the male prostate will be relatively degraded, and the prostate's own defense system will also decline, making it more vulnerable to bacteria and viruses. As we age, the cells of the prostate gland age, but the cells of prostate tissue accelerate their differentiation under the action of androgens, which leads to cytopathies and increases the risk of prostate cancer! Too much male hormone can also accelerate the growth of cancer cells.

Extension: Male hormone levels are too high, how to improve?

1. Develop good habits of life and rest

Due to excessive daily stress, unhealthy lifestyle, and heavy workload, many contemporary male patients are prone to imbalance of hormone levels in the body, resulting in excessive androgen secretion.

Therefore, for this situation, patients should make a good life plan for themselves, work and rest on time, eat regularly, and learn to release their stress, thereby improving the phenomenon of excessive androgens.

2. Drug treatment

For men, if the symptoms of excessive hormone levels do not improve, they need to go to the hospital for detailed examination to clarify the specific cause, and then treat with oral drugs under the guidance of a doctor; If left untreated, it may affect physical health.
