There are many side effects that may\narise if you start a testosterone replacement therapy on your own, without\nmedical supervision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:26px\" class=\"has-background has-secondary-background-color\"><strong>What\nare the side effects of taking testosterone?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like other medications, testosterone\ncan cause various side effects that can leave you in a much worse condition if\nyou take it without prescription, take more than the prescribed dosage, or do something\nwithout your doctor\u2019s approval. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any of the diseases or\nillnesses below, you should not even attempt to take testosterone as it can be\nreally dangerous:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Kidney disease<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Liver disease<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Heart disease<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Breast cancer<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Prostate cancer<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You have to have a serious discussion with\nyour doctor prior to any testosterone treatment and be honest about your\nmedical history to not suffer from the negative impacts testosterone can bring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were studies that found that\ntestosterone can also increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. According\nto the findings, male participants who were 65 years old and older and took\ntestosterone boosters for a period of 90 days showed a significant increase in\ntheir risk of heart attack and stroke. Compared to the data gathered before\nthey underwent testosterone treatment, their risk of these heart problems\ndoubled after the therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, there were studies that\ndiscovered that taking testosterone worsened obstructive sleep apnea. Male\nsleep apnea patients who took part in the research were observed to encounter more\ndifficulties in breathing and airflow while they were asleep, and also showed a\nhigher risk of irregular heartbeats, heart attacks, and strokes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because taking testosterone can increase\ntestosterone levels in the body in an artificial way, your body\u2019s natural\nhormonal balance is disturbed, causing physical changes like hair loss, breast\nenlargement, and acne. It can also mess up your body\u2019s ability to produce\nsperm, resulting to a significantly reduced sperm count and poor sperm\nstructure and motility. Eventually, this can lead to infertility, robbing you\nand your partner the opportunity to reproduce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To protect against all of these side\neffects, always get professional medical opinion. Do not think that your\ninternet research is enough to do the treatment on your own. Go visit your doctor\nand follow their prescribed dosage and advice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/male-ultracore-is-a-super-testosterone-supplement-for-sexual-pleasure-1024x315.jpg\" alt=\"Male UltraCore is a Super Male Enhancement Supplement for Sexual Pleasure\" class=\"wp-image-1741\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/male-ultracore-is-a-super-testosterone-supplement-for-sexual-pleasure-1024x315.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/male-ultracore-is-a-super-testosterone-supplement-for-sexual-pleasure-600x184.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/male-ultracore-is-a-super-testosterone-supplement-for-sexual-pleasure-300x92.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/male-ultracore-is-a-super-testosterone-supplement-for-sexual-pleasure-768x236.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/male-ultracore-is-a-super-testosterone-supplement-for-sexual-pleasure.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"text-center\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\" class=\"btn btn-order-now\">LEARN MORE<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Men who have low testosterone levels in their bodies may be prescribed by their doctors&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1957,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"amp_validity":null,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1988"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1988"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1988\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3757,"href":"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1988\/revisions\/3757"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1957"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1988"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1988"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1988"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
