The Taiwan Association of Andrology published a "Survey of 1,000 Active Men in Taiwan" yesterday, and found that men work hard to make a living, and as they get older, they suffer from "androgen deficiency syndrome." The testosterone concentration in their blood is insufficient, and they fall asleep as soon as they go to bed, and are disliked by their partners. The survey interviewed young women aged 18 to 25 and mature women aged 26 to 40. Through them, the representative of Taiwan's energetic men was selected to remind Taiwanese men to pay attention to their own vitality so that they can still be full of energy when they are fifty years old. A total of 1,037 valid questionnaires were received. In terms of political figures, President Ma Ying-jeou received the support of nearly 53% of female respondents, followed by Hsieh Chang-ting (11.5%). Former President Chen Shui-bian's vitality index was only 0.2%, and he even lost to former Education Ministry Chief Secretary Chuang Kuo-jung (0.6%). As for former Education Minister Tu Cheng-sheng, who was accustomed to closing his eyes to rest during questioning in the Legislative Yuan, he was at the bottom of the list with only 0.1% support. Among the big brothers in the variety show industry, no matter whether they are mature women or hot girls, the champion of energetic men in their minds is Wu Zongxian, with a support rate of 33%. The second place is Xie Zhenwu, who is a lawyer (13%), while the two heavyweight brothers Zhang Fei (4.9%) and Hu Gua (2.4%) are at the bottom. Wang Qijie, chairman of the Taiwan Andrology Medical Association, emphasized that if a wife feels that her husband's sexual desire has decreased, she must not immediately suspect that he is cheating on her. The best way is to accompany her husband to the hospital for treatment and, if necessary, have a blood test to test whether the source of a man's vitality, testosterone, is sufficient. Wang Qijie pointed out that exercising more is a correct health-preserving concept, but one should be cautious about taking more tonic food and eating more seafood. Many people think that eating chicken testicles or tiger penises can strengthen the body and replenish yang. If you eat too many animal testicles, you may ingest too much cholesterol, which is bad for your health. Wang Qijie said that symptoms of insufficient testosterone levels include decreased strength, vitality, and endurance, fatigue, or sexual dysfunction and erectile dysfunction. The most important symptom is low libido. Clinically, 90% of patients with testosterone deficiency will experience decreased libido. Once the testosterone concentration in a man's body is sufficient, he will be full of energy and vitality. However, as he ages, his hormones gradually decrease and testosterone deficiency occurs. He is like a deflated ball, losing his explosive power and vitality. Not only will he suffer from physical discomfort, but his emotions will also be affected. In addition, insufficient male hormones may also bring about the risks of many diseases, such as diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, erectile dysfunction, osteoporosis, depression and bipolar disorder. In order to help men more easily determine whether they have a decline in vitality and suffer from "hypotestosterone", Wang Qijie provides an assessment method. The assessment questions are divided into three parts: psychological aspects: depression (easily feel sad, sad, and want to cry), anxiety (feeling panic), and neurosis (unable to calm down). Physical aspects: sleep problems (difficulty falling asleep), joint pain and muscle pain (lower back pain, joint pain), decreased muscle strength (feeling weak and powerless); Sexual function: decreased number of morning erections, decreased sexual desire/sexual impulse, and decreased sexual activity ability and frequency. If the self-assessment results are mostly severe, it is recommended to further draw blood to test the testosterone concentration. After the doctor diagnoses the true cause, appropriate testosterone supplementation can improve the symptoms. |
