Many aspects of male health and aging are closely connected with the hormone system. A testosterone deficiency can have severe health consequences and contribute to the development of disease. A testosterone deficiency often goes undetected as men are far less health-conscious than women and go to the doctor less often. This is despite the fact that testosterone therapy can contribute decisively to the improvement and long-term maintenance of male quality of life and health.

But it is unfortunately not only testosterone deficiency that often goes unrecognized and untreated. Other typical male diseases are also often diagnosed too late.

Only regular screening examinations make it possible to distinguish between begining prostatic enlargement and prostate cancer.

Cardiovascular disease, the most common cause of death in men, and lung cancer and colon cancer (bowel cancer) also develop insidiously over many years. In all these illnesses the chance of cure is closely correlated with early detection.
