Dihydrotestosterone or testosterone ?
Agelessman
Dihydrotestosteroneone (DHT)
DHT Is a
testosterone with a double link between C4 and C5
The primary
symptoms of the disease male menopause are:
Impotence,
ejaculation and micturition disorders
caused by the
reduction of dihydrotestosterone
secretion.
At the beginning
of andropause disease
dihydrotestosterone is less produced
by the body whereas
testosterone secretion is still sufficient for
general structures (dihydrotestosterone is
produced by testosterone transformation).
Before the
hypogonadism's phase, use of testosterone is not
apropriate to correct impotence and
ejaculation or micturition disorders.
Testosterone is not convenient for
the androgenic disease
Testosterone
I ts molecular structure
confers properties for proteinic synthesis.
It is not a sex hormone.
It can however be transformed into
dihydrotestosterone by an enzyme (5 α réductase)
It can also be transformed into female hormone
(estradiol)
Its use corresponds to the treatment of
andropause disease male during
the phase of
hypogonadism:
here
testosterone and
dihydrotestosterone
(which comes
from the transformation of testosterone) are not
secreted any more in sufficient quantities. The
collapse of general structures of the
organism is added to
sexual problems.
To treat hypogonadism testosterone gel is used
in application on the skin, testosterone
contained in the gel diffuses uninterrupted in
the organism. Several pharmaceutical firms
market the testosterone gel:
The best gel is
produced by
Kyowa Kirin,
a Japanese research-based life sciences company
with special strengths in biotechnology
the pharmaceutical;
and distributed in Europe
under the marks
Itnogen® or Fortigel®.
This gel
of 2 percent testosterone,
applied to the skin, allows the administration
of testosterone by successive doses of 1
milligram of testosterone (+ or - 10 milligrams
of gel), according to the indication of the
doctor who prescribes a personalized treatment.
The treatment is then safely.

Warning
Testosterone treatments are available as gels,
creams, patches, pills, tablets and injections
under different brands.
In the US, there are
class actions against pharmaceutical companies
that market these products at doses that might
be inappropriate.
The eventual problems come from that
andropause disease
is unknown and, therefore, its treatment.
Testosterone gel in large quantities is
anything.
The
double-blind studies with standard doses will
not be very useful, since each patient requires
a unique treatment. One milligram of
testosterone is not 10 milligrams.
