Andropause

As men enter their 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s a series of hormonal changes occur that collectively are referred to as ‘Andropause”. Androgens are male ‘hormones’ that provide men with strength, energy, libido, improved mood and vitality. Testosterone is the primary androgen involved and its decline in men is a normal part of the aging process. The testosterone level of a man at age 60 is often only 1/3 the level he had at age 35. If not addressed, these low levels can lead to the following;

  • Diabetes
  • Increased risk of heart attack and stroke
  • Increased risk of Alzheimer’s Disease
  • Osteoporosis – poor bone density and increased risk for fracture

Signs of Testosterone Deficiency

While the above list shows just a few of the more significant medical maladies associated with a decline in testosterone levels, it does not include the host of quality of life issues that can plague men with declining levels, such as:

  • Decreased muscle mass
  • Stiffness in muscles and joints
  • Decreased libido
  • Erectile Dysfunction
  • Poor exercise performance
  • Cognitive decline
  • Depression
  • Increased fatigue and irritability
  • Decreased zest for life

Andropause Therapy

Men who receive testosterone replacement consequently report that they feel sexier, strong, and healthier. They state that it makes them feel as they did when they were in their prime. After all, this is what replenishment of hormones is all about.

It is about restoring hormones to youthful levels so you can feel as you did when you were at the peak of your physical and mental ability. Testosterone can stop and reverse the physical decline that robs men of their energy, strength, and libido. The amazing part about this is you can make a change for the better.

Common Questions About Testosterone Therapy

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is a prescription treatment for men with clinically diagnosed hypogonadism — a condition in which the body does not produce enough testosterone. It is available in several forms including injections, topical gels, and patches. TRT is a prescription-only medication and requires a formal medical evaluation and lab testing before it can be prescribed.
Low testosterone can result from primary hypogonadism (a problem with the testes themselves), secondary hypogonadism (a problem with the pituitary or hypothalamus signaling), or a combination of both. Contributing factors can include age-related changes, obesity, certain medications, prior injury or surgery, and other medical conditions. A provider evaluation is needed to identify the likely cause and determine the appropriate treatment approach.
Symptoms that may indicate low testosterone include reduced sex drive, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, decreased muscle mass, increased body fat, mood changes, and difficulty concentrating. These symptoms are non-specific — many other conditions can cause the same symptoms. Lab testing is required to confirm a diagnosis. Testosterone therapy is not prescribed based on symptoms alone.
Diagnosis requires at least two separate morning blood draws confirming consistently low serum testosterone levels, evaluated alongside your symptoms and full medical history. Normal testosterone ranges vary by lab and age; your provider will interpret your results in the context of your complete clinical picture. A single low reading is not sufficient for diagnosis.
Yes. TRT carries known risks that must be reviewed with your provider. These include polycythemia (increased red blood cell count, which raises clot and stroke risk), cardiovascular events including heart attack and stroke (the FDA has required cardiovascular risk warnings on all testosterone products since 2015), sleep apnea, venous thromboembolism, prostate effects including PSA increases, suppression of natural testosterone and sperm production (which can affect fertility), acne, and injection site reactions. Regular lab monitoring is required throughout treatment. TRT is not appropriate for men with active prostate cancer, certain cardiovascular conditions, or those seeking to preserve fertility without additional intervention. Your provider will review your full history before making any recommendation.
