Increase Testosterone with Hormone Replacement Therapy for Men

It’s a common misconception that women are the only ones who carry the burden of changing hormone levels. However, men can also struggle with the symptoms of lowered testosterone levels. New Health Kansas understands that testosterone is central to a man’s well-being; it’s what gives him his confidence and sense of manhood. Without it, symptoms of depression, fatigue, anxiety, lack of motivation and concentration can creep in. It even affects personal identity and sexual drive.

The Science of Male Hormonal Changes

Testosterone is the main hormone in effect throughout a man’s life. Decreased testosterone levels have been shown to appear in men by the young age of 30. Once it begins, an extra 1-2 percent is lost each year until the ages of 40 to 55. At this point, andropause, the male equivalent of menopause, kicks in and a dramatic drop in testosterone is experienced. A variety of symptoms and health issues are associated with this significant drop in testosterone: prostate problems, poor sexual performance, loss of muscle tone and mass, and potential development of osteoporosis.
