A staggering 80% of men suffer from low testosterone levels, according to Dr Abigail Gasu Acheampong, a leading health expert.

In an exclusive interview with GhanaWeb, Dr Abigail attributed this alarming trend to various lifestyles and environmental factors.

"The over-use of plastics is a significant contributor to low testosterone levels," she indicated.

She also explained that plastics emit dangerous chemicals into water and food, making it dangerous to the body, thereby reducing testosterone levels.

In addition to plastics, Dr Abigail cited inadequate sleep, poor diet, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and diabetes as other causes of low testosterone levels.

She also noted that testosterone levels naturally decline after age 50, similar to menopause in women.

To address low testosterone, she said some men opt for enhancement treatments.

However, Dr Abigail advised men to consult qualified health practitioners for guidance on safe and effective treatments.

Dr Abigail emphasised the importance of adopting healthy habits to maintain optimal testosterone levels.

She recommended that men prioritise sleep, exercise regularly, eat a balanced diet, and avoid plastics. By taking these proactive steps, men can help maintain their testosterone levels and overall well-being.
