Individual patients have hypogonadism from birth, while others may develop the condition later in their life.

| Comments Off on The Best Areas to do Intramuscular Self-Inject of Testosterone (IM)

intra injections 6234Where to inject Testosterone ? Testosterone injection is done intramuscularly. What this means is the shot must go directly into the muscle by penetrating the skin and subcutaneous (under the skin) tissue. Video Download: The Best Areas To Intramuscularly Self Inject Testosterone Video Stream: The Best Areas To Intramuscularly Self Inject Testosterone Intramuscular injections are quickly absorbed and are the only option to use when more massive doses are required than can be absorbed cutaneously (through the skin only). They are also needed when the injection of the drug is too uncomfortable to be administered subcutaneously.The third reason for intramuscular injection of testosterone is that this method allows the drug to disperse from the injection site at a timed, precise rate.The most common areas used for intramuscular injections are the buttocks, the side of the thigh, and the deltoid region (shoulder). Why these areas? Because these muscles are dense.Also, these areas contain large numbers of muscle fibers and fascia (the connective tissue that engulfs the muscles), which gives the testosterone injection a sizable surface area for absorption.Besides, these muscles are significant, and that means they enjoy a continual, massive flow of blood which will transport the testosterone to the tissues.Another … Read more »

It turns out that having a child also impacts Free and Total Testosterone. Studies have shown that new fathers tend to have lower Testosterone than their peers.This makes sense from an evolutionary perspective. Humans usually raise children as couples.Elevated Testosterone Levels are associated with a higher sex drive. While kids are young, Testosterone Production drops to encourage the father to focus on his child rather than concentrate on sex.Testosterone Suppression not only leads to inhibited aggression, but it also appears to increase empathy and other feelings associated with good parenting.Though parenthood is associated with lower Testosterone Levels, this is not always the case for the individual. Some fathers don't respond to parenthood with the same level of Testosterone suppression, which can lead to increased feelings of frustration and aggression toward the child.How Does a Baby Crying Influence Parental Response in Fathers?It appears that the sound of a baby crying sends emotional and hormonal messages to the parents who tend to encourage … Read more »
