Male Hormone Replacement Therapy
Many men suffer from declining testosterone levels as they age. This is associated with loss of bone mass, muscle, libido, erectile function, energy and mood. Testosterone decline has been called Andropause, Androgen Deficiency of the Aging Male (ADAM) and hypogonadism. Many of these testosterone deficiency effects can be reversed with proper Testosterone Replacement Therapy.
Men do you have?:
- Decreased sex drive
- Lack of energy
- Decreased strength
- Height loss
- Decreased "enjoyment of life"
- Sadness or grumpiness
- Weaker erections
- Less ability to play sports
- Sleepiness after dinner
- Deteriorating work performance
You may have testosterone deficiency and may benefit from testosterone replacement therapy.
Testosterone replacement affects the risk of sleep apnea, prostate obstruction, thick blood and prostate cancer. Any hormone replacement program requires full medical evaluation, risk/benefit analysis, appropriate testing as well as close supervision and surveillance. Some men benefit from optimizing multiple hormones including testosterone, DHEA, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), estrogen, thyroid hormone, parathyroid hormone, melatonin and cortisol. Careful hormone testing can reveal hormone deficiencies and excesses.
