Low Testosterone And Chemical Exposure
Low testosterone levels can be influenced by chemical exposure, particularly from endocrine disruptors such as bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates, and certain pesticides. These chemicals can interfere with hormonal regulation, potentially leading to reduced testosterone production. Prolonged exposure to heavy metals like lead and mercury is also linked to hormonal imbalances. Symptoms of low testosterone, such as fatigue, reduced libido, and muscle weakness, can be exacerbated by environmental pollutants. Addressing chemical exposure through improved regulations, personal choices, and lifestyle changes can help mitigate these risks and promote overall hormonal health. Regular screenings and consultations with healthcare providers are advisable for those concerned.
