Testosterone Replacement Therapy for Men

about
BHRT

Gentleman, are you tired of feeling tired? Sick of having no sex drive? Angry because you’re gaining weight and losing muscle mass? Are you feeling powerless?

If you are over 40, these feelings and symptoms are completely normal. As you age, you will experience an imbalance of any number of hormones, but your quality of life takes the biggest hit from a drop in testosterone. It’s entirely natural for your testosterone levels to drop by 1-2% per year as you move into your 40’s. This drop-in testosterone can lead to erectile dysfunction, depression, anxiety, reduced muscle mass, decreased energy, weight gain, loss of fitness, and decreased job performance. It sounds grim, but don’t lose hope. This page will address frequently asked questions about low testosterone and how we can help you can get back to feeling normal again.

What Are the Symptoms of a Testosterone Deficiency?

Hot flashes, mood swings, and night sweats don’t just happen to women. As testosterone levels decline, men can also experience hot flashes, mood swings, and night sweats as well as a decrease in sex drive, stamina, energy, and motivation.

When your testosterone levels drop, you may also experience depression, anxiety, sleep problems, hair loss, memory loss, erectile dysfunction, weight gain, and muscle mass loss.

Once you hit middle age, you can expect these symptoms to occur with greater frequency and intensity.

What Are the Risk Factors for Low Testosterone?

Testosterone levels decrease as you age. However, men who have chronic illnesses like diabetes, hypertension, and obesity are at a higher risk of experiencing a more significant decline. Stress and sedentary lifestyles can also be contributing factors.

How Do I Know If I Have a Testosterone Deficiency?

A simple but advanced lab test can determine whether you are testosterone deficient. Male testosterone levels should fall between 300 and 1000 ng/dL. If your test results show that your testosterone level falls below 300 ng/dL and you are experiencing any of the symptoms, you probably have a testosterone deficiency. We can help you understand what’s going and come up with a plan which may likely be Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT).

What is BHRT for Men?

BHRT restores hormone levels to a balanced state so that the body can function at its best. Bioidentical hormones are created in a lab. These hormones are bio-identical to the hormones that are naturally produced by your body. Unlike synthetic hormones, bio-identical hormones are an exact match to your hormone receptors, which means they work better and have fewer side effects than synthetic hormones. Because bio-identical hormones are compounded into customized prescriptions at a compounding pharmacy, your doctor can prescribe a dose that will deliver the exact amounts of hormones that your body needs to regain balance.

How Are Bio-Identical Hormones Delivered to My Body?

The most popular delivery systems for bio-identical hormone replacement therapy include topical gels, topical creams, capsules, and pellets. Each delivery system has its benefits and actions on the body.

Benefits of BHRT for Men?

Studies have shown that BHRT is safe and effective for treating hormone imbalances in both men and women. Men who have used BHRT have experienced the following benefits:
  • Increased energy & motivation
  • A reduction in body fat
  • Improved mood balance, feeling happier
  • A decrease in anxiety
  • Improved memory
  • An increase in muscular strength
  • Boost in sexual performance
BHRT has a very positive effect on the overall health of men. Studies suggest that some men who use testosterone replacement therapy to restore testosterone to natural levels reduced their risk of heart attack and stroke. BHRT has also been shown to contribute to better bone density with aging and improved spatial performance in patients with Alzheimer’s disease.
