It is most notable by its abscence that Testosterone Replacement
therapy is very rarely seen as a treatment for Erectile Dysfunction,
Depression, anxiety in men of middle or advancing years.
Instead, men suffering what would in women be called
hypogonadism/menopause are offered synthetic drugs, Viagra,
Antidepressants, and Beta blockers to cover a range of symptoms when
tackling the single root cause mighy be more effective.
T replacement carries with it fewer risks than Estrogen Replacement, it is
relatively widely known that researchers have been calling out for years
for Estrogen Replacement to be reviewed because of studies indicating
higher risks.
These calls have been largely ignored (until recently).
Natural Testosterone replacement therapy is however remarkably safe, the
only contraindicaton being in late stage prostate cancer, the majority of
studies showing significant positive benefit to the patient
We know little of the long term effects of many of these drugs,
adverse reactions are rarely reported correctly because of fear of
litigation.
Natural Human Testosterone on the other hand does not carry such
ambiguities having been around and used very effectively for millions of
years.
Doctors should try to ensure that the priority is the continued ( or
improved ) wellbeing of their patients and not be swayed by the sometimes
dubious incentives offered by Pharmaceutical company Representatives.
For example in a case where Hypogonadism is the root cause
Viagra,Antidepressants and Beta Blockers will serve only
make the patient dependant upon a number of different drugs for different
symptoms.
Tackling the root cause with T replacement therapy, might allow the
patient to become more physically active. This increased physical activity
might have positive benefits far outweighing the therapeutic affects of
any synthetic drug(s).
Increased physical activity would allow the patient to increase production
of his own Testosterone and natural Excercise Induced Endorphins which
might well allow the patient to do without further treatment.
Despite the prevalence of this type of condition, it is surprising
and perhaps disturbing that multiple Pharmacological Symptom treatments
seems to be preferred over tackling the root cause of the patients
physical and emotional problems, these treatments in many cases causing
their own side effects causing yet further problems for the patient.
Doctors should look at their aging male / female patients and
recognise that many hormonal changes are occuring that are in many cases
improvable.
Looking at and treating an individuals symptoms may serve the
Pharamceutical companies but may not be in the interests of the patient.
