Testosterone deficiency occurs commonly in men as they grow older. This deficiency often is associated with a decline in sexual activity and a loss of muscle mass. Testosterone replacement can reverse many of these effects. At present, no ideal form of testosterone replacement is available. Like the phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors, testosterone replacement in older men is a quality of life issue.
随着年龄增长,男性中睾酮缺乏情况较为常见。这种缺乏通常与性活动减少和肌肉量流失有关。睾酮替代疗法可以逆转其中许多影响。目前,尚无理想的睾酮替代形式。与磷酸二酯酶-5抑制剂一样,老年男性的睾酮替代是一个生活质量问题。
