Managing Male Menopause with Testosterone | June, 2010

An article published on CBS4 Miami, discussed male menopause and how testosterone therapy could help. It is common for men over the age of 40 to experience low levels of testosterone, but not uncommon for doctors to misdiagnose their symptoms.

Are you gaining weight, feeling tired and losing your sex-drive? You might actually be suffering from low levels of testosterone. Fortunately, there's no need to fret over symptoms - there is a viable solution. Hormone replacement therapy has helped men of all ages regain their normal levels of testosterone.

Doctors oftentimes diagnose men with depression, rather than checking levels of testosterone; this is because the symptoms are fairly similar. Aside from weight gain and low libido, other symptoms of low-t include depression, decreased muscle mass and irritability.

Testosterone can be replaced through the use of injections, pellets, and even topical creams and gels. However, the article cautions men diagnosed with hypertension and metastatic prostate cancer, saying that they should speak with their physician before considering hormone replacement therapy.

Most men who have balanced their levels of testosterone find that they are sleeping better, exercising more, digesting better and enjoying a better overall quality of life. If you are experiencing any of the symptoms associated with decreased testosterone levels, it would be wise to have a comprehensive evaluation done by one of BodyLogicMD's bioidentical hormone doctors in your area.
