Hormone Replacement Therapy for Men
When men age, they seem to lose their strength, performance, energy and sexual drive. A decline in hormones is often the most common factor in play with the effects of aging. What if we told you it doesn’t have to be? Hormone replacement therapy can assist in relieving symptoms such as weight gain, muscle loss, fatigue, insomnia and erectile dysfunction just to name a few. Hormone replacement therapy is a rapidly emerging field of medicine that is redefining aging in men. Getting older doesn’t have to mean the end of high-quality life.
Understanding Low Testosterone in Men
The aging process for men starts a lot earlier than most realize, with levels beginning to decrease in a man’s late twenties. Most men don’t notice the effects of the change until middle-age leading to what is known as andropause. This condition of hormone imbalance in men is characterized by a number of distressing symptoms, such as fatigue, muscle loss, increased body fat, sleeplessness, night sweats, irritability, depression and various forms of sexual dysfunction, like low libido and erectile dysfunction.
Low testosterone can affect men’s everyday life and interfere with their overall health, increasing the risk of osteoporosis, diabetes and increased mortality rate. Many studies have shown that maintaining balanced testosterone levels throughout the lifespan improves the quality of life and raises the life expectancy for men

Treatment Options for Testosterone Replacement Therapy
Testosterone replacement therapy will be customized to your lifestyle and needs. Our goal is to make your therapy work with your daily routine with us being here to help every step of the way. These are a couple of administration methods available in your hormone replacement therapy program:
Intramuscular injections (dosage is typically once a week)
Below are a few examples of symptoms that men can look for regarding testosterone issues:
Decrease in Sex Drive. One of the more common symptoms of testosterone deficiency is a diminishing sex drive. If you are over the age of 35 and notice a considerable drop in your desire for sex, consult with our physicians to see if it is caused by a premature testosterone deficiency.
Hair Loss. Another sign of testosterone issues is hair loss and balding. If you suddenly begin to notice hair falling out or a reduction in your hairline, it could be due to lowered levels of testosterone.
Muscle Tone is Diminishing. Higher testosterone levels are directly linked with the body’s ability to build and maintain larger and stronger muscles. For those suffering from low-t, it is common to experience muscle loss and weakness.
Gaining Weight. Men gain weight for a wide variety of reasons, but lowered testosterone may be the culprit. If you experience sudden weight gain, consult a physician who can explore a possible link to testosterone levels.
Psychological and Mood Issues. If you have depression, feel lethargic, have trouble concentrating, find yourself easily irritated, or suffer from mood swings, you may have a lowered level of testosterone in the body.
Trouble Achieving or Maintaining an Erection. One of the most common causes of Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is reduced testosterone levels.
