Our Austin Andropause and Male Menopause Clinic specializes in Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy for men who are suffering from hormonal decline as they age. Below you can learn more about Andropause or Male Menopause and discover if any of your symptoms are caused by hormonal decline.
Men suffer from hormonal imbalances just like woman do. However, unlike women, middle-aged men do not experience a complete and permanent physiological shutting down of their reproductive system as a normal event.
Men’s testosterone levels steadily decline after about the age of 25, but because it is a slow and gradual decline, many men do not realize how much they have lost. Most men don’t give their hormone levels much thought. However, as hormone levels begin dropping dramatically during their 40?s and 50?s, the effects can no longer be ignored or shrugged off. But when this change occurs we put tend to it down to being “burnt out at work”, having a “mid-life crisis” or “just getting old”.
Growing older is hard enough for men without having to needlessly suffer from declines in testosterone hormone levels. This is called Andropause or the male menopause, as the aging process and symptoms are similar to the symptoms woman experience during perimenopause and menopause. The difference for men is that the decline in hormones is not as sharp and sudden as a women’s decline during menopause. They may not feel drastic physical changes but instead they experience small dips in their energy level, stamina, mental function, and sense of well being among other things.
According to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 4 to 5 million American men may suffer from low testosterone, but only 5% are currently treated. What about the remaining 95%? Could you be one of them?
