The cause of low androgen may be due to overweight, male testicular disease, hypothalamus or pituitary disease, and need to be treated according to the cause, generally including improving lifestyle and drug treatment.
1. Overweight and obesity: low androgen level, overweight and obese patients have more subcutaneous fat, which affects the aromatase enzyme, so the androgen level of overweight and obese patients is lower than that of the normal population, and androgen can be improved by controlling the diet to improve the lifestyle and reduce the body weight in order to improve the androgen.
2. Male testicular disease: cause testicular cells to secrete androgens less, testosterone level is too low, androgen supplementation therapy can be used, such as testosterone undecanoate capsule.
3. Hypothalamus or pituitary diseases: causing the gonadal axis to be affected, such as pituitary tumors or pituitary tumors after surgery, testosterone secretion is reduced, there are also genetic defects caused by hypothalamus disease, such as Kalman syndrome, resulting in androgen secretion is reduced, and also need to be taken orally androgen therapy, such as Testosterone Undecanoate Capsules and so on.
In addition, there are many other causes of androgen lowering, low male androgen has a relatively large harm, so men find androgen lowering, it is recommended that must be taken seriously, active treatment.
