There are so many problems if you can't get hard! Study: Men with low testosterone are at higher risk of severe COVID-19
Testosterone is a hormone secreted from the human body from the testicles and ovaries of men and women respectively. Testosterone is not only very important for body strength and immune function, but also one of the keys to a man’s ability to “show off his strength” at night. Men with insufficient testosterone secretion are more likely to have “only one mouth left”, but lack of testosterone may Not only is there a problem of “weak lifting”, but according to American research, too little testosterone not only affects performance in bed, but may also make the symptoms of COVID-19 more severe?
Women not affected, men’s pneumonia severity related to testosterone?
A research team from Washington University in St. Louis measured several hormones in blood samples from 90 men and 62 women diagnosed with pneumonia at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in the United States: testicles Hormones, estradiol (a type of estrogen produced by the body) and IGF-1 (a growth hormone similar to insulin that plays a role in maintaining muscle mass), etc. After testing the above hormones, the researchers found that there is no correlation between the level of any hormone in women and the severity of COVID-19, but in male patients, the concentration of testosterone is sufficiently related to the severity of COVID-19. The study pointed out that the average testosterone concentration of men with mild COVID-19 symptoms was 151 nanograms/dL; the average testosterone concentration of men with severe symptoms was only 53 nanograms/dL; and the average testosterone concentration of men with the most severe symptoms was only 53 nanograms/dL. 19 nanograms/dl. At the same time, those with the lowest testosterone concentrations were more likely to be put on a respirator and more likely to need intensive care. Some men with low testosterone concentrations even died during the study. The researchers noted that other factors known to make pneumonia symptoms more severe, such as older age, obesity and diabetes, are also associated with lower testosterone; a lack of testosterone production also makes the body more susceptible to inflammation. The study believes that although it cannot be concluded that low testosterone is the main cause of the aggravation of pneumonia symptoms, it still has reference value in treating pneumonia patients with low testosterone concentrations.
If you don’t pay attention to testosterone, you will be worried about your health and your love will be in vain.
There are many causes of testosterone deficiency, and COVID-19 and external infections are just one of them. Long-term unhealthy lifestyles can easily trigger alarms in testosterone levels, such as shifts, abnormal work and rest, high-pressure environments, or holding back urine or not going to the toilet on time, which may affect the normal secretion of testosterone. It is best for men to reduce stress in a timely manner. , diet control and proper exercise.
Many men ignore the importance of “reducing stress”. Proper stress relief can allow hormones to function normally; dietary control can help reduce the risk of obesity and diabetes. As for exercise, exercising large areas of muscle tissue (such as back and legs) can help increase testosterone secretion, such as deadlifts and squats. Of course, if you have frequent urination or nocturia recently, it is recommended that you visit a urology clinic and let the doctor provide professional advice.
Although testosterone will gradually decrease with age, if men do not take good care of their bodies, the rate of decrease may be so fast that your whole body becomes weak. Not only will you feel weak at night and lack energy at work during the day, but you may also have to Facing prostate inflammation, even getting COVID-19 is more serious than others! Remind men, it’s better to have more, so as not to lose your health and love! Besides swiping on your phone and playing video games, should you still eat a balanced diet and exercise more?
