What causes low testosterone?

Testosterone is a male steroid hormone that is mainly metabolized by the male testicles or the female uterus and ovaries. In addition, the kidneys can also metabolize a small amount of testosterone. Whether it is men or women, it has a very important impact on physical health.

The main symptoms of too little testosterone in women are manifested in the hair, especially pubic hair and sweat hair, and muscle stiffness and loss of libido may also occur. If there are no symptoms, it may just be a normal physiological condition. You don't need to worry too much if you take more foods rich in androgen to regulate the body's hormones.

However, if you have any of the above-mentioned adverse symptoms, it is very necessary to go to the hospital for relevant endocrine examinations, because disorders in the female endocrine system can cause low testosterone in the body, such as examinations of the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, uterus, ovaries, kidneys, etc., and then discuss with the doctor based on the test results to determine the appropriate treatment method.

But generally speaking, low testosterone in women is basically due to their daily lifestyle, or the lack of a proper diet, which leads to an imbalance in the intake of nutrients, which then causes endocrine imbalance and ultimately leads to low testosterone levels. The most important thing in this situation is to supplement male hormones and eat more foods high in male hormones.

What to do if women have low testosterone

A slightly low level of testosterone in women can cause great harm to their daily life and seriously affect their quality of life. So, what should women do when their testosterone is low? Generally speaking, there are two methods of treatment: diet therapy and medication. The following is a brief introduction.

1. Diet therapy: Low testosterone may mean that a woman’s body lacks essential trace elements. In this case, women can eat more protein foods, iron-rich foods and foods rich in arginine. Through this diet therapy, they can effectively regulate their bodies and alleviate the condition of low testosterone.

2. Drug treatment: In addition to diet therapy, you can also use drugs to adjust the symptoms of low testosterone in women, which is also a common way to treat low testosterone. Of course, the drugs for treating low testosterone are all hormones, which must be taken properly under the guidance of a doctor. You must never take the medicine by yourself.
