Hormonal failure in men occurs as often as in women. The reasons for changing the level of hormones may be various factors. Eliminate an unpleasant phenomenon only after a thorough examination of a specialist and the correct diagnosis. It is not recommended to eliminate pathology independently. If you increase the level of the wrong substance, there will be additional complications.
Essential hormones
Male sexual characteristics are formed by the action of two major groups of hormones:
- Androgens;
- Endocrine substances.
Also in the body there are also female substances. These include estrogens. Androgens are responsible for primary sexual characteristics and the formation of erectile function. Sexual symptoms appear under the influence of testosterone. The man has wide shoulders, a narrow pelvis, there is an increase in hair growth on the face and body. Also, the hormone causes an erection and is involved in the secretion of seminal fluid secretion. The lack of testosterone causes the appearance of various disorders in the genital area.
Estrogens are also needed in the male body. He participates in the formation of libido. Sexual attraction arises from the work of the hypothalamus, in which this substance appears.
Endocrine substances are involved in the glands. They form the work of internal organs and are responsible for the functioning of the liver. Failures in the endocrine system are fraught with the identification of complex pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract and metabolic processes.
The main function of hormones in the body of a man is to participate in erectile and childbearing work. If a hormonal failure develops, there is a violation of these works. In this case, the man has a variety of complications.
Causes of a violation of the level of substances in the body
There are a lot of various factors that cause hormonal failure. It can appear due to the following reasons:
-
Age features; - Inflammatory processes in the reproductive system;
- A dramatic increase in body weight;
- Low-activity lifestyle;
- Improper nutrition and harmful preferences.
Hormonal failure is often observed in adolescent boys. During this period, there is the formation of erectile function and hormonal system. Also there is an intensive growth of the body. Under the influence of a sharp increase, hormones activate. Their level in the blood increases dramatically. This causes the appearance of various signs. There is a formation of the body according to the male type, hair appears in the groin, underarms and chest. Also there are the first nocturnal pollutions. This phenomenon is a normal process and should not be frightened. To sound an alarm is necessary in the absence of nocturnal ejaculations.
Growth of 14-15 years is faltering. The level of hormones also jumps. This phenomenon indicates the correct formation of the system. Treatment in this case is not carried out. After complete establishment of the hormonal background, pathological signs disappear.
In adulthood, the cause of the hormonal background is often inflammatory processes in the genitals. They can have a different character. Often the cause of hormonal failure is prostatitis. This pathology affects the work of the prostate gland. Iron, in turn, is involved in the production of a portion of testosterone. If the body develops inflammation, then the production of the hormone decreases. This phenomenon affects the active increase in estrogen levels. To reveal this pathology is possible only in medical conditions. Independently a man can pay attention only to the presence of various symptoms.
You should not disregard the body weight. In the presence of normal weight, the level of hormones is maintained in the required amount. If there is a strong or sharp increase in mass, then the hormonal system suffers. In this case, there is a decrease in the production of endocrine hormones and testosterone. There are various disorders in the metabolic processes of the body.
Men with low active lifestyle are susceptible to hormonal failure. In the presence of a small activity of the muscular framework, metabolic processes decrease. Cells of various tissues stop multiplying, there is atrophy. This phenomenon is accompanied by the onset of inflammatory processes in the prostate gland and a decrease in immune defense.
Nutrition also plays an important role in the formation of the hormonal system. Many plants and seafood contain the substances necessary for the normal production of testosterone and estrogen. The main value for hormones is zinc. He is responsible for the appearance of male testosterone and normalizes the operation of blood vessels. If the level of this vitamin in the blood of a person is insufficient, vascular pathologies and erectile dysfunction develop.
Harmful habits are also important. Alcohol abuse or active smoking causes the mass death of healthy spermatozoa. Also, harmful preferences affect the properties of secretion of seminal fluid. Thickening or dilution of the secret leads to the development of pathological processes in the prostate gland. There is a lack of testosterone. This leads to hormonal failure.
Symptoms of a violation of the level of hormones
Hormonal failure is accompanied by various symptoms. They depend on the causes that caused the pathological process. The following signs of hormonal disorders stand out:
- Reduction of hairiness on the body and face;
- The appearance of inflammatory processes of the reproductive system of non-bacterial nature;
- Reduced sexual activity;
- Erectile dysfunction;
- Neurological pathologies;
- Psychoemotional disorders.
The first sign of a hormonal failure is a reduction in the type of hair. The patient draws attention to the active loss of hair on the body and the reduction of vegetation on the face. Symptom should not be ignored, as the further development of the pathological process can cause complications.
The presence of non-bacterial inflammatory processes can also become a sign of hormonal failure. Such processes often arise because of the lack of testosterone. The substance affects the work of the sex glands and the hypothalamus.
In the presence of pathology, a decrease in sexual activity is observed. The man begins to avoid sexual contact, becomes less active during the act. This phenomenon indicates a decrease or increase in estrogens in the patient's blood.
The main symptom of hormonal failure is erectile dysfunction. The work of all the gonads depends on the substances. If there is a slight change in the amount of hormones, there are problems with potency. In this case it is recommended to visit a specialist immediately. Only a doctor can determine which hormone has changed its performance.
In case of failure in a man, a decrease in physical activity is also detected. This is due to the reduction of muscle work. Muscles weaken due to insufficient supply of tissues. Trophic tissue also depends on hormones.
There is also a violation of attention, sleep, the appearance of irritability. All these symptoms are due to a violation of the hormonal system.
Diagnosis and treatment
Therapy is prescribed to a man only after passing a thorough diagnosis. Identify the hormonal failure can be on the analysis of blood. Before the analysis, it is necessary to prepare the body. It is recommended to observe proper nutrition and weekly sexual rest. Blood is taken on an empty stomach in the morning hours. Correct collection of the analysis will help to identify a deficiency or excess of a hormone. If preparation for analysis is not carried out, the results will be invalid.
Therapy is carried out by various methods. They include the following types of treatment:
- Medication;
- Conservative.
Drugs are prescribed strictly by a specialist. It is strictly forbidden to take hormonal drugs on their own. Conservative treatment consists in the selection of proper nutrition and the maintenance of a healthy lifestyle. Elimination of adverse factors helps the hormonal system to recover independently.
If a man has noticed symptoms that indicate a hormonal failure, he should consult a specialist. Only the doctor will be able to make the correct diagnosis and prescribe the necessary treatment.
