Low Testosterone: How to Talk to Your Doctor| April, 2010

A recent article published on WebMD.com offers up some tips on how men can talk to their doctors about low testosterone and hypogonadism. The production of testosterone in men peaks between the ages 25 and 30. Testosterone begins to decline in a man's late 30's, early 40's, and continues at an average rate of 1 percent each year. WebMD estimates that 10 to 25 percent of men over the age of 50 suffer from low testosterone. The most common culprit is andropause - the male menopause. In addition to sexual health issues, andropause can also result in hair loss, adrenal fatigue, muscle loss and irritability. Although the symptoms are similar to what women experience during menopause, the hormonal shift in men is more gradual. The article recommends if you're over the age of 40 and think that that you may be experiencing symptoms of low testosterone, talk to your physician about testing and treatment options.

Hormone testing can provide men with and accurate reading of their testosterone levels and help to detect underlying hormonal imbalances. The bioidentical hormone doctors at BodyLogicMD help men balance testosterone levels with bioidentical testosterone therapy. BodyLogicMD affiliated physicians use bioidentical hormones, because they're molecularly identical to the hormones that the body produces naturally. Bioidentical testosterone therapies have helped tens of thousands of men overcome andropause and symptoms of low testosterone and regain their edge.
