Sustanon is used to treat male hypogonadism (low testosterone levels) when the deficiency has been confirmed by blood tests. It is also prescribed as supportive therapy for female-to-male transsexuals.

Testosterone is a hormone produced in the testicles that’s important for sperm production, male sex characteristics, and the functioning of the prostate gland. It’s also necessary for the growth of body hair and the development of muscles and bones. It stimulates the production of red blood cells and makes men’s voices deeper.

Symptoms

In hypogonadal men treated with Sustanon 250 injection, serum levels of testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, estradiol, and SHBG are normalized. Treatment improves libido and erectile function, increases bone density and muscle mass, and decreases fat in the body. Treatment also reduces the symptoms of male hypogonadism and increases the quality of life.

Male hypogonadism can cause erectile dysfunction, low body and facial hair, low sperm levels, and male-pattern baldness. It can also cause low muscle mass, fatigue, and an increased risk of osteoporosis and other diseases associated with aging.

Hypogonadism may be caused by a problem in the testicles (primary) or by problems in parts of the brain that send signals to the testicles to make testosterone (secondary). The most common condition that causes congenital primary hypogonadism is Klinefelter syndrome, which is associated with abnormalities in the Leydig cells that produce testosterone.

Testosterone Levels

Testosterone levels fall naturally with age but can also drop due to medical conditions such as testicular cancer or disease of the pituitary gland. Low testosterone can lead to symptoms such as impotence, infertility, tiredness, depression, and thinning of the bones (osteoporosis).

A combination of four esters of natural male hormones, is an injection used by men to replace missing hormones. It is used for treating hypogonadism resulting from reduced hormone levels (male hypogonadism). It also improves muscle strength, promotes bone density, and increases red blood cell production. It has been shown to be effective in treating symptoms of aging, such as erectile dysfunction and poor libido.

This medicine is given by injection under the supervision of a doctor or nurse. You must not self-administer this medicine. Do not stop the medication unless your doctor advises you to do so. This medication may interact with certain medications. Talk to your doctor about your other medications, especially antidiabetic medicines such as insulin. It also enhances the action of some blood-thinning medications, such as warfarin.

Libido

Testosterone has a number of important functions, including making, storing, and moving sperm in the prostate gland. It also acts in the skin, muscles, skeleton, bone marrow, and central nervous system. In some cases, it can help with weight loss, lower blood sugar in diabetics, and increase muscle strength.

Symptoms of low testosterone can be improved with lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, and stopping smoking. In addition, a patient may also benefit from a medical and wellness consultation.

Studies suggest a close association between male hypogonadism and metabolic syndrome (MetS). Both have been linked with insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus, obesity, an adverse lipid profile, and cardiovascular disease. In some cases, the underlying cause of male hypogonadism is related to a medication used for treatment of another condition such as sickle cell disease, thalassemia, chemotherapy, or pain management medicines that can induce Leydig cell dysfunction and/or germinal epithelium failure, leading to secondary hypogonadism. Screening tools such as the Androgen Deficiency in Aging Males (ADAM) questionnaire can identify patients who have a high probability of low testosterone levels.

Weight Loss

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) improves glycemic control, visceral fat distribution, and metabolic parameters in obese men with hypogonadism. It reduces hepatic and peripheral glucose metabolism, as well as total and LDL cholesterol levels. It also increases muscle mass, improves exercise tolerance, and improves quality of life.

In cases of primary hypogonadism resulting from errors in sex determination or gonadal development (46, XX, or 46, XY), sperm counts are often quite low. These cases are usually a result of cryptorchidism, where one or both testes remain undescended.

The treatment of these disorders requires careful consideration of all available options, including hormonal treatments. It is important to understand that testosterone can have many health benefits and should only be administered under the guidance of a healthcare professional. It is not appropriate for self-administration and can be dangerous if used incorrectly. The most common side effects are fatigue and decreased libido. A more serious complication is blood clot formation in the legs, arms, or neck. This should be treated immediately by a doctor.
