Hormone Replacement Therapy For Men

It is a common misconception that women are the only ones who need hormone replacement therapy as they age.

Many men are often led to believe by their physicians that feeling constantly tired, having the inability to gain muscle mass and lose fat, decreased libido and foggy thinking is all a part of growing older. Accepting these symptoms as a part of aging can negatively impact your ability to perform at work, relationship with friends and family and most importantly, how you enjoy your life.

You’d be amazed at how much impact hormones and hormone stimulation (not necessarily replacement) therapy for men are to your well-being. And when they’re out of balance, so is everything else in your life.

Every man experiences a gradual decline in hormone production as he gets older. Beginning at age 30, his body starts to manufacture less and less testosterone, losing roughly one to three percent per year.

Then, sometime between 40 and 55, testosterone levels drop dramatically and signal the onset of Andropause or Low Testosterone, the medical term for the male equivalent of menopause. After this happens, a man finds himself deficient in sexual desire, gaining weight, losing muscle mass and feeling unmotivated, depressed and moody.

Most men who don’t have hormone stimulation therapy believe they have to live with these symptoms as part of “normal ageing”.  Nothing could be further from the truth!

Each man’s symptoms vary, as does the age when at which those symptoms for hormone stimulant therapy occur.

Physicians are becoming more and more aware of andropause and beginning to scientifically diagnose it instead of simply offering a prescription that doesn’t address the basic problem.

Getting proper hormone stimulation begins with an accurate diagnosis. This should be based in science not in guesswork, generalization or trial and error. The best way to diagnose andropause is to get a physician or health practitioner’s evaluation. This should include a discussion of: medical history, symptoms, and followed by a physical exam and specific blood tests.

No matter what age a man (or woman) may be, research has shown that maintaining beneficial hormone levels supports internal balance. This, in turn, helps the body function optimally and supports healthy aging.

Speak to your doctor about a new natural product called Secretropin®. Secretropin, now approved by Health Canada is stimulating the natural production of human growth and other pituitary hormones and is one of the most powerful tools we now have to prevent and repair the effects of aging.
