AGE MANAGEMENT FOR MEN
What is andropause?
Andropause, similar to menopause in women and sometimes referred to as male menopause, arrives in a man's life when there is a drastic drop in hormone levels. When levels of testosterone fall, the condition is called hypogonadism (hypo=low, gonad=testis). Although total testosterone may not drop drastically, free testosterone, or the active form of testosterone, drops significantly with age.
What are the symptoms of andropause?
Symptoms may include:
| Fatigue | Lack of sex drive | Depression |
| Abdominal Weight Gain | Insomnia | Migraines |
| Cholesterol | Arthritis | Mood swings |
| Aches and pains | Erectile dysfunction | Loss of muscle mass |
| Hot flashes | Osteoporosis | Obesity |
| Decreased strength and endurance | Difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection |
What are my treatment options?
Hormone replacement therapy may help reverse some of the negative effects of low testosterone. Biologically identical testosterone is the same molecular structure and might produce the same effects as the free form of testosterone produced by the testes.
What are biologically identical hormones?
Biologically identical testosterone is derived from soybeans. It has the same molecular structure and may help produce the same effects as the free form of testosterone produced by the testes.
How are biologically-identical hormones administered?
Biologically identical testosterone therapies include injections, topical gels, sublingual tablets (dissolved under the tongue), and pellets. Injections are usually administered every two weeks. Topical gels are applied once per day and sublingual tablets are taken twice per day. Pellets are inserted by the doctor and release a steady amount of testosterone over three to six months.
