A man can be stingy or generous, irritable or cheerful, not only due to external factors but also because of his hormonal state on that particular day.

The level of testosterone (the male sex hormone) in a man’s blood can fluctuate high or low, affecting his psychological and physiological activities from day to day, much like a woman’s menstrual cycle. However, the length of a woman’s cycle is more stable, averaging 28 days, while the duration for men varies from person to person.
Success and Failure Depend on Testosterone Levels
Daily tests have shown that higher testosterone levels make men more aggressive. This explains why many murderers or those who inflict serious injuries are predominantly male.
Men with higher testosterone levels often enjoy taking risks. Therefore, such individuals are more likely to “stray”. If these men are capable, educated, and intelligent, they may achieve great inventions and creativity, often succeeding in their careers. However, without these advantages, they may easily become criminals.
Conversely, men with lower testosterone levels tend to be overly gentle, even submissive, often compliant to what others say. Thus, it is no surprise that when examining the hormone levels of football stars, musicians, and talented actors, it is found that most of them have higher testosterone levels than ordinary men.
The “Pre-Menopausal” Phase
It has also been observed that as men age, testosterone levels decline, sometimes dropping to just 50% of what they were in their youth. This can be considered a “pre-menopausal” phase for men.
Similar to women, during this stage, men experience many changes in their psychological and physiological activities. They may feel inexplicably sad, saying, “I feel sad, but I don’t know why.” Some men become irritable and moody, while their sexual desire significantly decreases. Others may find themselves in a situation where “the top does not listen to the bottom.”
Along with the decrease in testosterone, the minds and souls of older men also undergo changes. These signs are especially pronounced in those who are addicted to alcohol, tobacco, and other stimulants.
For about ten years, starting from the age of 45, scientists refer to this as a crisis phase. During this time, men are very susceptible to stress. Many feel that work pressure is overwhelming, resulting in mood changes and dissatisfaction with reality.
However, many men refuse to accept their “aging” condition and seek various ways to regain their youth. Some resort to hormone therapy, which involves supplementing testosterone into their bodies.
Yet, according to experienced doctors, this method often carries significant risks and side effects. Some individuals, unaware of the gradual decline of their testosterone levels, become anxious about these symptoms. Some even turn to doctors for treatment or seek medications hoping to restore their sexual abilities. They do not realize that as testosterone, secreted by the testes, diminishes with age, the aging process is a natural law that cannot be reversed.
Today, medicine has a clear understanding of how the thyroid gland and growth hormones significantly impact the youthfulness and productivity of older individuals. However, to date, there have been no experiments demonstrating the use of hormones to prolong youth or stall aging. This is because disrupting the delicate balance of natural hormones in the body can lead to unpredictable and dangerous consequences.
