Maintaining virility can become a nice boost for self-esteem, but according to scientific research this is harmful to another important organ: the heart<\/strong>.<\/p>

The study, which involved a sample of more than 15,400 \nmen in the United Kingdom, has \nfound that testosterone therapy-often prescribed to maintain \nan active sex life-leads men to have 21 percent more \nchance of having a heart attack or stroke.<\/p>

Heart problems with advancing age are. \nUnfortunately, a normal matter with the very stressful and rapid lifestyle \nthat is inherent in our culture today. With testosterone therapy there is \nIn addition, a negative effect that accumulates to the stress already experienced normally \nfrom our heart.<\/p>

The test participants were aged not less than \n45 years old and low testosterone levels, which in medicine is a state defined \nas hypogonadism. Testosterone is raised ‘artificially’ through the \ntherapy, but at the same time – according to the findings of the examinations – this contributes \nto the formation of more blood clots. Platelet formation increases the \nRisk of widespread heart problems.<\/p>

A study conducted by McGill University in Montreal and published in ‘The American Journal of Medicine’ highlights how testosterone intake can lead to a 21 percent increased risk of heart attack or stroke.<\/p>

The research was conducted on 15,400 men aged \nolder than 45 years and with low testosterone levels. The results show. \nThat an “artificial” elevation (through therapy) of testosterone increases \nthe number of platelets, that is, the formation of blood clots, and thus the \nrisk of heart problems, which are known to be connected with advancing \nage and with a stressful lifestyle.<\/p>

Other side effects are also highlighted in the study, such as: chest and ankle swelling, sleep apnea, acne and, last but not least, stimulation to develop prostate cancer cells. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
