What are the symptoms of male hormone health?

The state of the entire body is stable and energetic, and all indicators fall within the normal range suitable for one's age, which is more reliable than any external "characteristics".

I met a 27-year-old fitness blogger a while ago. His body fat has been maintained at about 7% all year round. His arms are about the same size as an average person’s calves. His beard grows all over his face if he doesn’t shave the next day. Fans call him a “walking hormone.” As a result, he complained to me privately, saying that he has been losing weight recently. I fell asleep, my training status was very bad, and I couldn't help but lose my temper with the staff. I went to the hospital for a hormone check and found out that my free testosterone level was nearly one-third lower than the standard value for my age. In order to maintain low body fat, I over-controlled fat and did too much aerobics, which had long ago messed up my hormone levels.

Some people may say that there should be signals that can be sensed by oneself, right? There are indeed some, and they are not eye-catching features. For example, the physiological response pattern of waking up in the morning will not disappear for a long time, nor will it be so frequent that it affects normal sleep. ； You have enough energy during the day to last a whole day of work, and you don’t have to rely on three or four cups of coffee to survive. After get off work, you still have enough energy to do something you like, whether it’s playing ball or going to the park with your children. ； My mood is also stable, I don't get upset over trivial things, I don't always lose energy and don't want to do anything, and I don't even have any interest in intimate relationships.

Of course, it should be mentioned here that there are currently many disputes about hormone health standards on the Internet. For example, one group firmly believes that having more body hair and a large Adam's apple means high testosterone, while the other group believes that these characteristics are all genetic and have no necessary connection with hormone levels. In fact, both sides are reasonable. For example, East Asian men who are born with less body hair have no impact on their health as long as their hormone levels are within the normal range. There is really no need to blindly supplement hormones for the so-called "manliness"； Some people think that strong sexual desire equals healthy hormones. In fact, when hormones are disordered, they can go to two extremes, either being so high that it affects normal life, or directly decreasing. It is completely inaccurate to judge based on this alone.

To put it bluntly, male hormones are like a regulating knob in the body. If it is turned too full, it will easily burn out the circuit, leading to acne, hair loss, and irritability. If it is turned too loose, it will not be able to move the entire machine. Fatigue, muscle loss, and decreased bone density are all problems. You really have to worry about your own hormone levels. It’s okay, it’s better to take the time to go to the hospital to check the six hormones. It is much more reliable than checking the numbers one by one on the Internet. I have seen too many young men blindly supplement testosterone by comparing it with the “characteristics” on the Internet. If they have endocrine disorders, it will take several months to adjust it back. It is completely unnecessary.
