Low-T Leads to Worse Covid-19 Symptoms
Researchers discovered that Covid-19 severity had a strong negative correlation with Testosterone Levels among patients monitored. The lower the Testosterone, the worse that the Coronavirus symptoms tended to be. Also, men with asymptomatic Covid-19 had higher levels of Testosterone than those admitted to ICU.
Lastly, patients that died from Covid-19 tended to have the lowest Testosterone Levels of all. Even patients that self-reported as Asymptomatic seemed to have some mild effects from Coronavirus. Around 65% of Asymptomatic patients reported a decline in sex drive.
This study provides evidence that Testosterone Levels should be checked if a patient tests positive for Covid-19. Testosterone Treatments may improve the prognosis for patients that aren't producing enough Testosterone.
This could greatly help patients with Chronic Low-T, as well as patients suffering from Testosterone Depletion due to the Coronavirus.
