Suffering from low testosterone (Low-T)?
Traditionally age related male hormone changes were not considered problematic because fertility in men persists until advanced age. In contrast, women undergo ovarian function failure and require multiple hormone replacement.
What is Andropause or Low-T?
More careful evaluation in males show progressive age related changes including:
- Decreased muscle mass & strength
- Decreased vigor, low energy
- Decreased libido
- Insomnia
- Nervousness & depression
- Hair loss
These changes usually begin in the fourth and fifth decades and point towards hormonal imbalances and deficiencies which may be considered equivalent of menopause i.e. Andropause. Symptoms of Andropause include decrease in muscle mass and muscle strength, increased body fat and lowered libido, accompanied by decrease in mental sharpness and decrease of overall energy levels.
What can be done about it?
What Results can be expected from replacement of declining hormones in men?
Evidence suggests that replacing men’s testosterone as it declines can protect men from a variety of age-related conditions, including:
- Preventing atherosclerosis, heart attacks, and high blood pressure.
- Minimizing loss of muscle mass and strength common to aging.
- Preventing the decline of sexual ability or re-invigorating sexuality if it has already begun to diminish.
- Keeping the prostate gland healthy.
- Prevention of osteoporosis – a common problem for men in their 70s.
- Normalizing blood sugar, cholesterol, and HDL (“good”) cholesterol.
