While most people are aware that women experience hormonal changes, many are not as familiar with the hormonal changes that affect men. After the age of 40, about one percent of most men per year begin to experience gradual changes in their hormone levels that may include a reduction of testosterone as well as increases in levels of estrogen. Some men, however, may find that their hormone levels drop suddenly, requiring treatment through hormone replacement therapy.
The reduction in male hormones, referred to as Andropause, can result in a variety of symptoms including erectile dysfunction, heart disease, osteoporosis, atherosclerosis, mood swings, reduced libido, memory failure, lapses in concentration, or feeling weak. Treatment with a natural hormone testosterone has been shown to be effective.
It's important, however, that men with these symptoms receive the exact amount of hormone necessary. The pharmacist can work with your physician to find the formulation that is specific to your body’s requirements. Compounded medications are available in a variety of forms that are convenient to use; for example transdermal testosterone gel is a therapy that can be rubbed into the skin.
As men mature in age, they do not have to live with the effects of Andropause. To learn more about natural hormone testosterone replacement, contact your doctor or Monroe Ave Pharmacy.
