Medical application on mobile smart phones are now all the rage as a recent article in the Daily Mail has shown (Why your phone is now the doctor in your pocket 鈥?March 2 2010). These 鈥楬ealth apps鈥?include diabetes managers Tyler Seguin Womens Jersey , acne managers, fertility managers, and now one that screens you for symptoms of testosterone deficiency, the male menopause or andropause.

Symptoms Key to Diagnosing Testosterone Deficiency

The typical symptoms of Andropause are why the condition got its name. Loss of energy, drive Jamie Benn Womens Jersey , libido, potency, irritability, depression, joint pains Authentic Jason Spezza Jersey , night sweats and even hot flushes make the condition as near to the female menopause as a man can manage. Substitute loss of morning erections for menstrual periods, and there you have it, whatever the cause of testosterone deficiency.

True there is no sudden drop in testosterone in men at a characteristic age, as there is in women at the menopause 鈥?For a change men are more complicated than women. Even if there is no sudden drop in levels of the hormone caused by stresses such as loss of job or a loved one, they can become resistant to its actions and develop a relative deficiency [1] Authentic Alexander Radulov Jersey , as with insulin in adult onset diabetes.

Still doctors like to cling to lab tests for diagnosis, even when they have been proved to be largely invalid [2]. Why is there this sex discrimination against men, when they go to their doctors complaining of these symptoms? A woman around the age of 50 will not get lab tests to try to confirm the diagnosis. Instead she will get sympathy and an offer of HRT if she wants it. Men are told they are just imagining it, it just your age, or that they are depressed Authentic Ben Bishop Jersey , and offered antidepressants, which often make their symptoms worse. As a result, world-wide only 1% of the 20% of men over the age of 50 who would be likely to benefit from testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) are getting it. This makes testosterone deficiency the most common hormonal disorder in men, but the least commonly treated [3].

The AMS Scale and T-app

The best symptom scale for diagnosing testosterone deficiency is the AMS scale developed by Professor Lothar Heinemann in Germany. It is scaleable, well validated Authentic Stephen Johns Jersey , has been used in many studies, is available in over 20 different languages, and can be used both for diagnosis and for monitoring the response to testosterone treatment. Now for the first time it is available as an application on your mobile phone.

Can you really plan a life-changing experience, or do they just happen? Are they accident's of fate, inherited life forces Authentic Esa Lindell Jersey , or can they be experiences the we choose?

A brief story. Soon after graduating I left home for adventure and discovery, and perhaps a life-changing experience. My mind was virtually a blank canvas for experience to paint a path for my future. I traveled afar and engaged in different employments in different places. I met many interesting people, in interesting places on my journey to discover what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. A year passed. I'd had a fantastic time, but, I hadn't really discovered where my future lay.

I returned home and took up employment related to my degree WITHOUT a passion. To cut a long story short Authentic Tyler Pitlick Jersey , despite moving around the world I continued in unfulfilling employment and wondered how things could change. So many times have I heard reports of devastating experiences or holidays of a lifetime but are they really? Is a life-changing experience one that shapes a moment in time or is it an experience that we savor day in, day out, for the rest of our lives. Isn't the real experience the present and our thoughts we want to capture, and remember, and become a foundation for our existen.
