As men age, their testosterone levels start to decline. Testosterone is crucial to a male’s sexual development, muscle mass, mental health, and weight control. When this hormone starts to decline, it can cause a host of physical problems. Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy is one way men can combat this part of aging. Keep reading to learn more.

Men and Andropause

Most people are familiar with menopause and how it affects women in their mid-life, but few people are aware that men also go through a mid-life change called andropause. 

During andropause, testosterone levels start to drop. This will affect energy levels, stamina, weight, and sex drive. This can also have effects on a man’s mental health.

Symptoms of Low-T

There can be many different types of symptoms of low-t, but bio-identical hormone replacement therapy can help. Symptoms can include fatigue, insomnia, depression, weakness, increased belly fat, loss of sex drive, ED, memory problems, and weight gain. According to the CDC, a higher percentage of women try to lose weight than men at 56.4% compared to 41.7%. Gaining weight in midlife can be frustrating and depressing.

How Hormone Replacement Therapy Works

When hormone replacement therapy is introduced it can help men to feel more confident, younger, and more productive. 

Some of the benefits of this type of treatment include better sleep, less body pains, better mood, improved memory, increased energy, better sex drive, higher muscle mass, weight loss, and better skin.

In order to start bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, you will need to be examined by your doctor. During this exam, all of your symptoms will be discussed as well as other factors in life that could be contributing to these symptoms. Hormone replacement therapy is often used alongside other types of lifestyle changes and therapy as well.

Once a patient begins this type of treatment, they will need ongoing evaluation to ensure there are no negative side effects. Dosage may need to be adjusted in order to find the right fit for your body and needs. This treatment is highly recommended for people who feel that low-t is affecting their quality of life.
