What are the symptoms of male hormonal health?

In fact, when male hormones (the core is testosterone) are maintained in a healthy range, the most intuitive manifestation is not the "beard, bad temper, and tendons all over the body" uploaded on the Internet. Instead, the whole person's state is in a stable and energetic balance, and there is rarely an inexplicable feeling of lag.

A while ago, I met Xiao Zhou, a 32-year-old fitness blogger who often comes to consult. In order to improve his performance in amateur competitions, he secretly bought a lot of internet celebrity testicle-stimulating supplements to take. During that time, his body hair grew very fast, and his fat-brushing efficiency was twice as high as usual. It really looked like " "I feel full of masculinity," but he complained to me privately that that period was like a firecracker. He would explode with his family members over every trivial matter. He would lie in bed until two or three o'clock at night and couldn't fall asleep. During training, his explosive power seemed to be stronger but his stamina was severely reduced. After playing for half an hour, he was out of breath. Later, I checked six hormones and found that my testosterone level was twice as high as the upper limit of normal. The doctor directly said that this was a hormone disorder and not hormonal health at all. Later, he stopped taking supplements and adjusted his daily routine and diet for three months. After checking again, he returned to the normal range. He said that although his muscle size had lost a little, he felt much better. He no longer felt tightness in his chest when he got up in the morning. The number of quarrels with his girlfriend was reduced by 80%. He even played a full game of golf without feeling tired.

There is a lot of controversy online about male hormone health. One group believes that the more obvious male characteristics are, the better. The thicker the beard and the bigger the muscles, the healthier the hormones. The other group believes that too high testosterone will harm the body, and that a gentle personality and less body hair means insufficient hormones. In fact, in clinical practice, a single external characteristic is never used as a criterion. What is more important is the baseline state of the individual. Just like some people are born with less body hair and a more reserved personality. As long as their hormone levels are within the normal reference range, their daily energy is sufficient, their sleep is stable, and their sexual function is not abnormal, they are completely healthy. There is no need to mess around with taking supplements just to meet the "manly standards" mentioned online.

Speaking of which, ordinary people don’t need to go to the hospital to check their hormones. They just need to pay more attention to their own status: If in the past month or two, you are not too tired to move even though you haven’t done any heavy work, you don’t feel heavy when you wake up in the morning, you rarely feel inexplicable irritability or depression, and there are no abnormal changes in your secondary sexual characteristics, it basically means that your hormones are in a good state. If you really feel that something is wrong, just check the six items of hormones and you will know clearly. After all, hormones are like the fuel regulating valve in the body. If it is too low, the power will be insufficient, and if it is too high, it will easily cause a fever. It is best to adapt to your own rhythm.
