Age Matters: Do men also need hormone therapy? | February, 2010

A recent article published in the Roanoke Times discussed the male menopause and what men can do to relieve symptoms. When it comes to menopause, women have a pretty good idea of they can expect. Men on the other hand have been kept in the dark on the issue. The fact of the matter is, andropause (the male menopause) is real and affects millions of American men each year. In women, menopause refers to a variety of changes taking place simultaneously, such as waning estrogen and progesterone levels. However, in men the change is marked by a significant decline in testosterone (or androgen) production. According to the article, it's estimated that by the time a man reaches 80, testosterone levels are as low as they were before puberty.

Testosterone therapy (TT) can help men balance testosterone and avoid many of the trying symptoms commonly associated with andropause, such as loss of muscle mass, weight gain, low libido, depression, irritability and adrenal fatigue. BodyLogicMD's highly trained bioidentical hormone doctors specialize in TT and have helped thousands of men get their edge back using a three-pronged approach to wellness, combining bioidentical hormones with customized nutrition and fitness regimens.
