Frequent stressful situations, unhealthy habits and malnutrition are the main "enemies" of testosterone. If you get rid of them, then the amount of the necessary hormone will increase by itself. However, when such simple and natural ways do not help, you have to take drugs that raise testosterone. We'll talk about them today.

Symptoms of a low level of testosterone

The clinical symptomatology associated with a low testosterone concentration in the body may depend on the age of the man.

Even before birth, a deficiency of testosterone may interfere with the normal development of the genitals of a pending embryo.

Low concentration of the hormone immediately before the sexual development of boys contributes to the lack of expression of secondary sexual characteristics and backwardness in puberty. The teenager suffers from a weak set of muscle mass, signs of gynecomastia, and maldevelopment of the genitals.

A decrease in the amount of testosterone in adults can contribute to a decrease in sexual activity, a violation of erectile function, which can subsequently lead to infertility.

More on the signs of a lack of testosterone in adults:

  • oppressed mood, depressive states, weak emotional reaction;
  • signs of gynecomastia - an increase in the mammary glands in a man - are associated with a decrease in the amount of testosterone and, as a consequence, an increase in the production of estrogens;
  • muscular atrophy. The growth of muscles directly depends on the presence of testosterone in the body. With its deficiency, muscle tissue atrophies, in most cases replaced by fat cells;
  • inability to erect - one of the symptoms of many pathological conditions, in particular, a lack of testosterone;
  • decreased libido, lack of sexual desire, apathy;
  • a decrease in physical activity. Testosterone gives the man the energy potential for performing mental and physical activity. Insufficient production of testosterone provokes the development of fatigue, which does not go away even after rest.

If the signs of a hormone deficiency are recognized in a timely manner, you can avoid aggravation of the situation and the appearance of more pronounced negative symptoms.

Pharmaceuticals that increase testosterone

In modern medicine, various methods have been developed to increase the concentration of testosterone, among them the drug method. A lot of drugs aimed at eliminating the deficiency of the male hormone are advertised. To help you choose, consider the most popular ones.

Drugs that increase testosterone in men:

  • Andriol is a testosterone drug that does not adversely affect the liver, which does not cause skin problems and increase the amount of subcutaneous tissue. The additional advantages of the drug can be attributed to the fact that andriol does not help suppress the synthesis of its own hormone in the body, of course, if you do not use the drug above the prescribed dose. Judging by the reviews, it perfectly solves problems with potency. The lowest dosage of the drug, which has an apparent effect, is 0.24 g per day (6 tablets). Store the drug in the refrigerator, since it has a gelatinous shell that is capable of damaging at room temperature;
  • Androgel - the outer gel in bags of 2.5 or 5 g. Using an average daily dosage of 5 g of the drug - increases the average concentration of testosterone in the blood by 2.5 ng / ml. The maximum amount of applied gel is 10 g per day. The drug is applied a thin layer on the clean and undamaged skin of the inner side of the forearm or on the abdomen. Do not use the gel on the genitals because of the likelihood of skin irritation. After sucking the drug (5-6 minutes) you can put on clothes.
  • Nebido is an oily solution for injections. The drug is administered once every 3-3.5 months for one ampoule (1 g): this is enough to achieve a maintenance concentration of testosterone without excessive accumulation of substance in the body. The solution is injected intramuscularly very slowly, avoiding the needle entering the blood vessels.
  • Sustanon 250 is an injectable preparation containing 176 mg / ml testosterone. Sustanon is administered intramuscularly, usually in an amount of 1 ml once a month. The toxicity of the drug is very low, however, it can manifest itself in the form of edema, mood changes and local reactions at the site of the injection (burning, pain, redness).

Universal drugs that increase testosterone in women and men:

  • Omnadren - the drug has an effect on the body like a male sex hormone, consists of testosterone esters with varying degrees of absorption and decomposition. Thanks to this, it is possible to support the androgenic effect of the drug for about 1 month after a single injection. Omnadren improves sexual function, reproductive organs; in the female body, it exhibits anti-estrogenic effect, which is the most important moment in the therapeutic measures of benign formations of internal genital organs, endometriosis, and breast cancer. The drug favors the buildup of muscle mass, both in men and in women. Omnadrenum is used in case of symptoms of hyperestrogenism, uterine myoma, cancer metastases, climacteric state, endometrioid growths of tissues; Men use the drug during inhibition of puberty, oligospermia, a lack of androgens, impotence, men's menopause. Omnadren is not used during pregnancy;
  • Testosterone propionate is the most budgetary means of increasing testosterone levels in the body. Along with an acceptable cost, the drug has a number of useful properties: it activates the development of genital organs, forms constitutional features of the body, stimulates sexual desire and the production of sperm. Testosterone reduces the production of LTG and FSH in the body, has an antitumor effect in the development of neoplasms in the mammary glands, stimulates protein synthesis, reduces fat deposits and increases muscle mass. The drug is prescribed, as a rule, 10-25 mg 2-3 times a week. Duration of treatment 1-2 months. The drug is not prescribed for prostate cancer, as well as during pregnancy and lactation.

Preparations that increase the production of their own testosterone, are used mainly to build muscle and increase libido. These drugs include Vitryx, Tribulus, Enamel Test, Evo-Test, Arimatest, Cyclo-Bolan. The above funds to increase the concentration of testosterone are extremely popular in stores specializing in sports nutrition.

One of the newest testosterone stimulants is the complex Paritet preparation, which contains Tribulus extract, yohimbe, ginger root, as well as pantocrine, vitamins and minerals. Parity is added to various liquids in an amount of 10 ml (one tablespoon) and drunk once a day, preferably in the evening. The duration of the drug is about 1 month. Parity activates its own production of testosterone, improves blood circulation in the pelvic organs, stabilizes the tone of the vessels.

Any hormonal preparations should be taken only after consulting a doctor and carrying out hormonal analysis of blood so as not to harm your body.

Reviews about drugs that increase testosterone

We analyzed numerous reviews about the drugs that raise testosterone, and concluded that the effect of these or other funds on the body is very individual. For one person this drug helps, the other does not. Why is this happening?

Firstly, many people, when using such drugs, pursue not exactly the same goals. Someone needs testosterone to increase sexual activity, and someone else - to enhance the effect of bodybuilding. Secondly, the success of the use of a given preparation depends largely on the initial level of its own testosterone, the age of the patient and the duration of treatment.

Users of these funds converge more often in one: the price of drugs that increase testosterone, does not affect their quality. A cheap tool can be no worse than a more expensive counterpart. The cost of drugs often depends on the manufacturer and the degree of "promotion" of the brand. The most popular drugs in the price range from $ 15 to $ 35 per package, calculated for the month of admission.

Patients who take testosterone-boosting drugs should, before the start of therapy, and periodically during treatment visit a doctor to control the hormonal background in the body. If the patient has previously been observed by specialists regarding cardiac pathologies, impaired liver or kidney function, the use of androgenic drugs may provoke the development of certain complications.

If any undesirable symptoms were noticed while taking medications, treatment should be discontinued. After regression of symptoms, therapy can be resumed, but with a decrease in the dosage of the drug.

If the drugs that raise testosterone are used on their own, without consulting a doctor or for other purposes, this can be a serious health hazard. Remember this, and when buying drugs, evaluate all possible negative consequences of androgenic drugs.
