When men have a low testosterone level in their body, they generally experience several different symptoms that can adversely affect their quality of life. These symptoms include:
Hair loss and premature balding (keeping in mind that this can be hereditary and not related to a deficiency).
Problems with the reproductive and sexual organs.
Weakening bone mass.
Mood swings, anxiety, and depression.
Fat deposits that are difficult to get rid of through exercise.
When the above symptoms occur, a doctor will prescribe testosterone hormone therapy to increase testosterone levels in the body and to alleviate some of the deficiency symptoms.
Testosterone Cream Side Effects
When testosterone cream is applied, there are some side effects that can occur. In most cases the side effects are mild; yet they can grow more severe if untreated. These side effects can include:
Depression, anxiety, and possible mood disorders.
Indigestion and other stomach disorders.
High blood pressure due to fluid retention.
Headaches and dizziness.
Prostate problems. (Keep in mind that men who already have prostate problems won’t be able to use testosterone cream or any other type of testosterone therapy.)
Skin irritation where the testosterone cream is applied.
