Andropause (Male Menopause)

(What you need to know)

Doug Boudreaux, P.D.

 

Proper levels of testosterone can:

  • Enhance libido and treat erectile function
  • Protect the prostate and cardiovascular system
  • Lower cholesterol
  • Improve energy and feelings of well being
  • Reduce body fat
  • Enhance muscle and bone strength
  • Improve alertness and concentration
  • Provide relief from depression

Are you a man approaching the 45 to 55 year range? Perhaps you’re noticing that you are getting a little thin on top. Has that lean hard stomach you once had pooched out a bit? Is it a whole lot harder to lose those excess pounds? While it may be easy to buy into your wife’s explanation, "You’re just getting older, dear;" what may really be happening is a drop in your hormone levels.

Male menopause or "andropause" is a term used to describe a collection of symptoms brought about by a decline in testosterone, usually around the age of 40. Symptoms may include depression, disturbed sleep, erectile dysfunction, reduced libido, muscle weakness, fatigue, thinning skin, irritability, poor concentration and memory, prostate enlargement/cancer, osteoporosis and heart disease.

Men have been suffering in silence for years, but with the attention given to new drugs such as Viagra, men have begun to realize they are not alone.

Testosterone is the major circulating sex hormone in men. If the symptoms listed before are present, you should visit your doctor and see if testosterone replacement therapy can help you.

So, gentlemen, before you sink a little deeper into the old La-Z-Boy, why not have your hormone levels checked. A consultation and simple test is as low as $155. Hormone supplementation might be the ticket for a younger, more vital you. Nutritional supplements can also be added to enhance testosterone therapy and improve quality of life. A little supplemental work now may save you a lot of Viagra later!
