Look, hormones are not something you would wanna play with. Antibiotics have anything to do with hormones, they are made to kill bacteria that has invaded and multiplied in the body causing infections.
First thing your cousin, and not your uncle, who is 21 and grown up should do is find a proper doctor who could do some tests and see if there is hormonal imbalance and then decide upon the treatment.
Some of the most common symptoms of testosterone deficiency are: inability to get or maintain an erection, obesity, depression; anxiety or mood swings; problems with concentration and memory or other cognitive and intellectual functions; low sex drive; decreased bone density. As you can see, it is not all about secondary organ characteristics, there is much more to it.
In order to check if there is testosterone deficiency, a DOCTOR needs to run some blood tests to check for testosterone levels. They sometimes also check the levels of prolactin to see if pituitary gland is in order. They may decide to run some other tests.
Normal levels of testosterone are between and 800 nanograms of testosterone per deciliter of blood. The problem is that levels of testesterone vary, so a full physical exam must be made and it must be done by a DOCTOR.
The most common treatment of testosterone deficiency is testosterone replacement therapy. Testosterone may come in forms of pills, patches, gels, creams, intramuscular injections, or it can be implanted under the skin. |
