TBI, PTSD, and Low Testosterone: How TRT Improves Cognitive Health
Low testosterone affects about 80% of males who have suffered a TBI or PTSD. The efficacy of testosterone replacement therapy to restore brain function, focus, and general wellness has been shown by medical studies, lessening the life-altering stress that these brain injuries have on men.We all have a pituitary gland, located near the base of the brain, and is prone to serious damage if the brain is struck or violently disturbed, requiring it to absorb massive amounts of pressure. The pituitary gland is the “master gland” and vital engine for the hypothalamus-pituitary axis to perform and initiate triggers that allow the body to create adequate testosterone, growth hormone, and estrogen to function normally.When the hypothalamus-pituitary axis is damaged by TBI or PTSD, communication between the brain and testicles is disrupted, resulting in the typical low testosterone symptoms.
