Testosterone

Although females do produce a small amount of testosterone, it is the main male sexual hormone. Men produce several times more testosterone than women. It is responsible for growth of bone and muscle, production of body hair, and development of male reproductive tissues.

What size needle is used for testosterone injections?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I use a 23 guage 1 inch long needle for injections into my thighs. About 1 in 4 or 5 times that I do an injection I get a little bit of testosterone leaking back out of the puncture. I have used 22 guage 1.5 inch long needles but they seemed a bit to large in diameter and length. I am going to ask for 23 guage 1.25 inch long the next time that I get a refill of needles, this seems like it should be the perfect size for my needs. By the way, I am a big guy and if I were smaller, I think the 1 inch in length would be fine. When I first started my shots, I was getting a 1ml. shot once per month. My levels were still to low so I went to 1ml. every 2 weeks. This got my T levels where they should be but I broke out with acne on my chest and back. After some research I started doing 1/2ml. every week and in about 6 weeks the acne had went away. My T levels spiking after a 1ml. shot was the cause of the acne and is not a problem with the 1/2ml. shots. Everyone is different but don't be afraid to customize your treatment for your needs.

What is a testosterone shot?

Asked by Wiki User

Testosterone boosters are supplements that claim to increase testosterone levels, potentially improving sexual performance, libido, and muscle.

Some OTC testosterone boosters may be safe when used in moderation, but they cannot permanently raise or maintain your testosterone levels. All forms of OTC testosterone boosters offer their own unique health risks.

The term over-the-counter (OTC) refers to a medication that can be purchased without a medical prescription. In contrast, prescription drugs require a prescription from a doctor or other health care professional and should only be used by the prescribed individual.

Can impotence be treated successfully?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

An interesting question. I'd say, in most cases, yes. Absolutely yes.

The first thing to consider of course is that there's several possible causes of impotence, as the best treatment naturally depends on what the root problem is. Testosterone levels reducing is a natural part of aging, and often part of the issue.

As there's usually a physical cause behind impotence or erectile dysfunction, you'd be advised to see a doctor or men's specialist to establish what's what. Many things, such as disease, injury, hormone levels or drug side-effects can be responsible. Basically any disorder that impairs blood flow in the penis has the potential to cause impotence, including also diabetes, hypertension etc. Incidence rises with age: about 20-40 percent of men at the age of 40 (depending on partial or total) and between 50-65 percent of men at the age of 65 experience impotence. However it is not an unavoidable part of getting older. So consulting with a doctor or specialist first is definitely an advantage!

However, if you're after a natural treatment that promotes testosterone production, a good option is probably a product called Herbal Ignite. It's been around for over a decade, and made in the oasis of New Zealand. The quality and efficacy of its ingredients is really good. You can get more info from their website, but basically as I understand it works by using the herb Tribulus Terrestris stimulating the body to produce more testosterone, like it did when you were younger.

How do men increase their sex drive?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Men achieve arousal, or physical penile erections, as the result of actual stimulation (seeing, hearing, or otherwise) or from remembered or imagined stimuli. The most effective arousal is by touch, followed by sight or sound.

Pubescent (teen) males can achieve arousal at inappropriate times due to hormonal changes, and many discover erections upon waking, despite having no conscious memory of sexual dreams or thoughts.

Which hormone stimulates the production of testosterone?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Hormones are regulated by what are called negative feedback mechanisms. When more is needed, more will be released and the opposite is true when there is enough. For example, the secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone decreases as the amount of circulating estrogen increases.

The number one benefit is a higher sex drive. Other reported benefits include increased energy, reduced risk of osteoporosis, heightened metabolism, and increased muscle mass. It must be remembered though that women are sensitive to testosterone, so in taking supplements women may experience some masculinizing symptoms that they don't want such as a deepening of the voice or increased facial hair.
