The word andropause comes from the word androgen, which merely means any male hormones - such as testosterone - responsible for male characteristics. Although male reproductive organs do not shut down during middle age, as do female reproductive organs, the glands produce a gradually diminishing amount of hormones, as a man gets older.
Not only baldness is a symptom of andropause - decreased muscle mass and strength, loss of libido, insomnia, nervousness, depression, low energy and weight gain can be symptoms as well. So are these results of aging inevitable? What can be done about it? That is what we will explore in the following paragraphs.
As women can benefit from hormone replacement therapy, so, too, can men. The important steps to take in order for hormone replacement therapy to succeed are making sure the replacements are bioidentical and replacing all of the dwindling hormones, not just testosterone.
Many hormones being sold as replacements are not the same as the ones in the body, notably estrogen made from pregnant horse urine. But if you put a bioidentical hormone in the body, the organs will recognize and use it.
The amount of hormones lost may not be the same in every person - different ages and physiques and diets affect hormone loss. To determine the exact amount of which hormones to replace, one needs medical testing.
Extensive testing and determination of the dwindling supply of hormones in the body, and replacement in the exact amounts needed to return the body to a youthful level or hormones can work seeming miracles for men in middle and old age. Expect symptoms to slow down or even disappear. End hair loss, gain more energy and interest in life, re-invigorate libido, and even sleep better!
Slowing down aging and bringing new vigor into your life is really possible with hormone replacement therapy. Middle age and even old age can be exciting. Thousands of men have done hormone replacement therapy and seen the results. You could, too.
