Diagnosis:
Low testosterone can be determined through a really simple blood test that is done by a lab and ordered by your doctor. This is a test that is done in the morning hours when your levels will be the highest.
Throughout the day, the level of your testosterone can drop by nearly 13%. Normal testosterone is anywhere between 300-1000 ng/d.
Treatment for Low Testosterone
The Endocrine Society Guidelines from 2010 suggest that treatment is needed so that it can help with sexual function, depression, a sense of well-being and BMD.
Treatment is generally suggested to people that have a low testosterone level of under 350 ng/dL. If the serum total testosterone Is between 230 and 350ng/dL than you may want to re-measure to make sure that you are getting the free testosterone levels that you need.
Treatment is necessary sometimes even when the levels are considered to be normal. There is a wide range, so your doctor may suggest it because of how young you are. For example, a man that is 27 years old that has a level of 380 ng/dL would be normal, but for a man of this age, this is really low and will cause them to have some of the symptoms that were listed above. This is a score that would actually place them in the bottom 5% of their age group, and they are going to need to have a treatment option.
There are many options for treatment for low testosterone:
1. Transdermal – this is usually done with gel or a patch and is through the skin.
2. Injections – these are given every 10-14 days.
3. Pellets – these are placed under the skin and will last between 4-6 months.
Oral testosterone was used in the past, but this is no longer used since it has show to be broken down in the liver and really rendered inactive because of this. It can also cause some liver damage that can be severe.
With hormonal therapies, the changes are going to take place over time, it can take as long as 2-3 months to see the changes that you want to see. Testosterone levels will need to be evaluated over time and once you are between 500 and 700 ng/dL, that is going to be considered very good for young, healthy men that are between the ages of 20-40. Once treatment is started, you can get levels tested every 13 days and will help your doctor determine what dose they want to give you.
Historically, it has been said that men that have a risk of prostate cancer should not use testosterone therapy, this is actually a myth. There are some side effects to be aware of like elevation of hematocrit, growth in the size of breasts, although this is very rare, and some find that sleep apnea can be worsened by this and should be watched carefully.
A study that was done by The Endocrine Society shows that men that are over the age of 50 may not live as long if they have low testosterone.
A study that was done in men that had passed between the ages of 50-91 showed that many had level of testosterone that were low for men of their level. It was suggested that men that are dealing with low testosterone have a 33% higher chance of death in the next 18 years than men that had higher levels.
This was an interesting study, because it wasn’t linked to smoking, diabetes, or their level of physical activity, so it may not be the most accurate study, but it is definitely a good advocate for testosterone treatment if yours is low.

Premature Ejaculation
Premature ejaculation is a sexual dysfunction issue that men deal with. This is defined by ejaculation that almost always happens within about 1 minute of penetration and the man doesn’t have the ability to delay their ejaculation. Because of this, there are many negative personal consequences like distress, frustration, and the total avoidance of sex. This is by far the most common form of male sexual dysfunction and probably has happen to every man at some point in their life.
Types of Premature Ejaculation
There are two types of PE. Lifelong premature ejaculation generally starts at puberty and will happen throughout the man’s life. While most men will experience PE in their lives, they don’t deal with it over and over again for the rest of their lives. Prevalence of this is hard to measure, because it is hard to determine how long a man or a woman need to be satisfied, it is said that this affects about 5% to 30% of men. PE is something that can work in conjunction with ED, and nearly half of the men that deal with PE have ED. The 2nd type is acquired PE, which happens and is developed later on in life.
Diagnosis
With lifelong PE, you should see a doctor to have them diagnose it. For acquired premature ejaculation, there is a physical examination that needs to be done to make sure that is the problem that you have. There is generally another medical condition that goes hand in hand with this. Premature Ejaculation Treatment There are many treatment options that include pharmacological, behavioral, education, and a combination of all of them. A doctor will help you determine what works and they will help you find out which one of these is going to be the best treatment.
Oral Drugs: antidepressants like Paroxetine, sertraline, and clomipramine can help.
Erectile Dysfunction
Also known as impotence, happens when a man can either no longer achieve an erection or when they can’t keep it for long enough to have sexual intercourse. If you find that once in a while you are dealing with erectile trouble, it could be situational. However, when you find that it is an ongoing problem, you need to deal with this. This can cause stress and problems in your relationship, or it may just really bother you and affect your self-confidence.
The good news is that there are so many great solutions for sexual dysfunction that will help you improve your intimacy and the satisfaction of your partner. This will help you improve your quality of life when it comes to sex , will help you if you are dealing with depression, and will increase your overall quality of life. The first thing that needs to happen so that a patient can be treated is that they need to have a doctor understand their sexual, medical, and psychosocial history. Once a doctor understands this, they can help to educate people and give them a realistic expectation as to what they should expect with sex.
This way, they understand what they should do in terms of medication. The erection process is more than just an erection; it is an integration of complex physiological processes that work with the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. This also has to mean that the hormonal and the vascular systems need to work together too. If there is something that doesn’t work right in one of these systems, than the person will have trouble achieving that erection, having trouble ejaculating, or having an orgasm.
Causes of Erectile Dysfunction
With erectile dysfunction, there are so many factors that go together, organic, physiological, endocrine, and psychogenic factors. All of these cause people to be able to have and maintain an erection. ED is generally divided into either an organic or a psychogenic impotence. In the past, people blamed ED on psychological factors, but the more research that has been done, the more that doctors have found that there are many other issues.
With so many etiological factors, it can be hard to find exactly what is the root of the problem. So, to do this, there is a lot of evaluation that is needed that will help understand what the source of the etiology is. A lot of times, ED can be related to a vascular disease like diabetes, high blood pressure, or coronary artery disease. Also, there are other issues like neurological disorders, issues with endocrinopathies, BPG, and depression. You will find that there are a ton of diseases that will affect erectile dysfunction by changing the nervous, hormonal, and the vascular system. There are also diseases that will change the muscle tissue or mess with someone’s mood or behavior. Some examples of these diseases are hypertension, high cholesterol, smoking, and diabetes.
Prevalence
Sexual dysfunction happens in both men and women. A study that was done with men between 40 and 70 shows that 52% said that they had some type of ED. Erectile Dysfunction is defined as two different factors: the inability to obtain or maintain an erection during sexual stimulation or the absence of nocturnal erections. It is thought that in the US between 18-30 million men have ED.
Based on the population and the increase in risk factors that cause ED, it is thought that ED will just continue to be a growing plague. There is also not a ton of treatment done for this disease because people aren’t questioned by their doctor about this. There are other male sexual dysfunction issues like premature ejaculation and hypoactive sexual desire, these are also very prevalent.
Erectile Dysfunction Treatment
Here are a few common treatment options for ED:
1. PDE5 Inhibitors: Levitra, Cialis, Stendra, and Viagra
2. Intracavernosal Inejctions: Bimix, Trimix, Alprostadil
3. Transurethral Alprostadil
4. Penile Implant

Obesity
Obesity is caused by a wide variety of factors, and cannot usually be altered in the long term by following a simple physics-based equation. Many people are laboring under the misapprehension that if someone is overweight or obese, it is likely that they simply eat “too much” and exercise “too little”. The truth, however, is rather more complicated than that – there are a wide variety of genetic, physical and socioeconomic factors at play. Environment is also a factor in how much people eat and how much activity they undertake; for example, those in rural areas may not be able to walk or jog safely thanks to a lack of sidewalks. Those who are living in poverty cannot afford exercise clothes or a gym membership, and those who are ‘time-poor’ are not able to devote the time necessary to becoming more active.
A person can also be genetically predisposed to obesity, meaning that they are far more prone to putting on weight and find it even more difficult than most to lose it. Some illnesses and conditions also predispose a person to being overweight, and some medications have the same effect.
No scientists have yet been able to correctly and accurately define what a person’s Basal Metabolic Rate is, and it is well known in the scientific communities that the idea of ‘calories in < calories out’ as a weight loss method is at best overly optimistic and at worst completely impossible to either figure out or follow.
A person’s chance of developing obesity-related health problems cannot be diagnosed by looking at them, or even by simply weighing them. Different people require different balances of calories and physical activity to remain healthy, and a person’s outward physical size is not always – or even usually – an indicator of how healthy they are. There are two kinds of fat, usually referred to as being ‘subcutaneous’ and ‘internal’. ‘Subcutaneous’ fat exists underneath the skin, on top of the bones and muscles – this is the fat that causes a person to ‘look fat’. ‘Internal’ fat, on the other hand, is inside the body – usually surrounding the internal organs. It is this internal fat that causes people to suffer from the health problems that are usually associated with obesity (such as heart disease, cancer and high blood pressure), and the link between high concentrations of internal fat and someone who ‘looks fat’ is nothing like as strong as many people suppose it to be.
Many patients find it extremely difficult to lose weight, and 95% of those who do will have regained all or almost all of the weight lost within five years. By far the most scientifically backed up method of minimizing the economic burden of obesity-related diseases and illnesses seems to be simply to encourage everyone to eat a reasonably healthy balanced diet, to exercise with relative frequency, and not to overly concern themselves with their subcutaneous fat levels.
Genetic, socio-economic and environmental factors are by far the most likely reasons for a person to have become overweight or obese, and they are not things that it is possible to treat in a medical setting. Rather, it is important to bear in mind the results of the most recent and up to date studies, and concentrate on a patient’s health rather than on their overall body mass.
Sexually Transmitted Diseases
One of the most effective moves in preventing the spread of HIV and AIDs is the testing and if needed, treatment of any sexually transmitted diseases, otherwise known as STDs. It is very important to understand that there is a connection between HIV infection and STDs, and this can help with an HIV prevention program that is going to help people that are in those high-risk sexual activities.
What is the Connection Between HIV and STDs?
Individuals that have STDs are 2 to 5 times even more likely than those people that are uninfected by STDs to acquire the HIV infections when they become exposed to the HIV virus during sexual contact.
On top of that, if someone has HIV and is infected with other STDs, that person is far more likely to then transmit the HIV virus through their sexual contact than any other individuals that have HIV. There is a lot of biological evidence that will show that the presence of any of these STDs will increase the chances that HIV will be spread.
Increasing Susceptibility
STDs actually increase the susceptibility to the HIV infection through two ways. Genital ulcers like syphilis, herpes, and chancroid cause breaks in the tract linings of the genitals and the skin. Because of these breaks, there is a better chance that HIV can enter. Beyond that, the inflammation from the genital ulcers and the STDs that are non-ulcerative like chalmydia, trichomoniasis, and gonorrhea will increase the cell concentration of genital secretions that will serve as bullseyes for the CD4+ cells that help HIV be transmitted.
STDS also increases the risks of a person infected with HIV to transmit the virus to their sexual partners.
Studies show that people that have HIV and have other STDs are very likely to have shedding of the HIV infection in their secretions from their genitals. An example of this is men who have both HIV and gonorrhea are two times as likely to have the HIV cells in their semen secretions than those that only have HIV. The median concentration of HIV in the semen is almost 10 times higher in men that have HIV and gonorrhea than men that only have HIV. More HIV in the semen or the genital fluids, the higher chance that this will be transmitted to their sex partner.
Can An STD Treatment Slow Down The Spread Of The HIV Infection?
There is a lot of evidence from studies that have shown that catching and treating STDs can help reduce the HIV transmission. STD treatment will reduce the person’s ability to be able to transmit HIV because they are going to decrease the amount of HIV that is in their secretions and that is commonly found within those secretions.
Herpes can also make people increasingly susceptible to HIV and it can make people that have HIV more infections, so you need to be careful. It is critical that people that have herpes are treated and know if they have been infected with HIV. If they are not infected with HIV, they need to make sure that they are taking all the appropriate measures to prevent themselves from being infected with HIV. If someone has both HIV and herpes, there are many trial treatments that are underway and that are studying this treatment and how it can help prevent the HIV transmission to their sex partners.
What Are the Suggestions for HIV Prevention?
Good STD testing, prevention, and treatment can help prevent the transmission of HIV through sex.
Beyond that, STD trends can provide great insights as to where the epidemic of HIV will grow, STD surveillance data is a big help in forecasting where these HIV rates will increase. Better links are still needed between STD and HIV prevention so that the world can help to prevent both epidemics or at least get them under control.
Here are a few recommendations that have been made by the CDC:
1. Early detection along with treatment of STDs that are curable should be part of state, local, and nationwide HIV prevention programs.
2. In areas where STDs that help transmit HIV are prevalent, there need to be expanded screening and treatment programs.
3. HIV testing should always be performed on someone that has STDs
4. STD and HIV prevention programs within the US, along with other partners, should help to implement strategies.
5. CHAC/CDC also notes that the early detection along with treatment of these STDs should be combined with other measures for HIV prevention programs.
Botox and Fillers
What is the difference between Botox and cosmetic ‘fillers’?
Botox has been safely developed for use in a variety of cosmetic and clinical settings. The most commonly known and widespread of these is of course as a treatment for wrinkles in the skin, a purpose that the injections can continue to perform for anything between eight weeks and four months before a new set is necessary. Imagine, briefly, a valley that has been positioned between two mountains: Botox flattens out these mountains, thus causing the valley to disappear.
Fillers, on the other hand, come under a wide variety of names and made from all kinds of different substances – everything from collagen to various acids. Rather than flattening the mountains, these substances simply fill in the valley itself, making it seem as though it isn’t there. The effects last for around the same amount of time as those of botox, and come with slightly different benefits and drawbacks.
How can I decide which treatment is right for me?
Botox is the right choice for you if you have a large quantity of deep, serious wrinkles on flatter areas of your face – such as your cheeks and forehead. There are some health concerns associated with malpractice, so ensure that you only ever get your injections from a licensed and approved cosmetic dermatologist whose credentials you can check out and appraise before they carry out the procedure.
They do sometimes cause the face to look a little ‘frozen’, but most people find this to be of limited concern.
Fillers are a better choice for anyone whose wrinkles are shallower, or in a hard to reach area such as the corners of the eyes. They don’t cause any facial immobility, but they can make a person’s face look a little puffy. Again, you need to be entirely certain that your dermatologist is fully trained in administering these injections, and that you feel safe and comfortable taking advice and medication from them.
What are the main benefits of botox injections or filler use?
Of course, the primary reason for undertaking one of these procedures is simply to smooth out the skin and remain looking youthful for as long as possible – but while these are laudable goals for those who are concerned by them, they are not the only utilities of these substances.
Botox has various medical applications, including use in treatments for strabismus, blepharospasam, hemifacial spasm, upper motor neuron syndrome, cervical dystonia, chronic migraine and excessive sweating.
Fillers are used to deal with a wide variety of cosmetic problems, including non-facial wrinkles, thin lips and overly puffy eyes. They are being investigated as a method of perhaps beginning to treat keloid scarring in some patients.
Whichever you choose, it’s important that you first think carefully about what it is you’d like to address – and that you discuss your options well in advance with a licensed and experienced cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon.
At Azia Men’s Health Clinic we offer a wide verity of Fillers and Botox to help Look and feel better and enhance your features!
