Abhinav Diwan, senior author of the study and a professor of medicine at the University of Washington, pointed out that about one-third of men over the age of 30 have low testosterone problems.

Men with low testosterone may experience sexual dysfunction, depressed mood, irritability, decreased concentration and memory, fatigue, muscle weakness and decreased happiness, the researchers said. When the quality of life is significantly reduced, treatment is desired, but when symptoms are mild, treatment may be hesitant.
Diwan emphasized that the results of this study are only observational, not to prove that increasing testosterone levels can help men with post-infection severity. In this regard, the most prudent approach is to check testosterone levels, especially in groups with low testosterone levels. , may reduce the risk of infection, and further clinical trials are needed to prove whether this strategy really works.
