It would be really good to have a “treatment” to lessen the signs and symptoms of lão hóa bình thường. It would be nice if I could take a product that would improve my muscle mass and performance. A lot of athletes are doing it and it seems to be working! On the other hand, the price to pay is a whole host of known and unknown short, medium and long term disadvantages.

It is likely that a very small proportion of middle-aged men actually suffer from andropause and that testosterone treatment will help them. I am of the opinion that for the moment, caution is in order. We haven’t found the fountain of youth yet.

There is currently too little scientific data on this subject. Much more research is needed on the long-term effects of testosterone use for andropause. When this research is completed, we will really know the pros and cons of this treatment. Only then will men be able to make an informed decision.

Careful follow-up by a caring and knowledgeable physician seems essential to me for anyone who uses a testosterone supplement.
