What is low testosterone?

Both men and women produce testosterone, though men have eight times more in their body. Testosterone helps your body regulate fat distribution, muscle mass and strength, bone density, your sex drive, and blood production.

If your testosterone levels drop, you run the risk of exhibiting any of the following symptoms:

  • Fatigue
  • Hair loss
  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Semen volume loss
  • Bone and muscle mass loss
  • Mood swings
  • Low sex drive

Get in touch with Dr. Akpeke if you’ve experienced any of these symptoms.  

What is erectile dysfunction?

Otherwise called impotence, erectile dysfunction is a condition in which you’re unable to maintain an erection during sexual intercourse.

Erectile dysfunction is the most common among men above 65 years old and can result from psychological factors and health issues, including hypertension, diabetes, and more.

Why is the prostate important?

The prostate is a walnut-sized gland that secretes the essential fluid present in your sperm. It’s an integral part of your reproductive health. Over 30 million men experience issues with their prostate. If your prostate health is jeopardized, you run the risk of:

  • Prostate enlargement
  • Prostate cancer
  • Prostatitis, infection of the gland
