A Look at the Top Five Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy for Men

As men age, they face many health issues, from erectile dysfunction to loss of energy, focus, and concentration. But all these problems and more can be helped with hormone therapy for men.

Men, like women, experience age-related hormone decline; like women, this loss of hormones can lead to several debilitating symptoms. Collectively these symptoms are known as andropause.

Andropause is primarily caused by the age-related loss of two critical hormones – testosterone and human growth hormone or HGH. Andropause negatively impacts four significant areas of your life.

Your sexual performance Your strength and energy

Your emotional well being Your memory and cognition

The good news is that most, if not all, of the incapacitating effects of age-related hormone loss in men, can be reversed or entirely eliminated with hormone replacement therapy.

Here is a look at the five major benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for men.

1. Increased energy levels

   Hormone therapy for men, particularly testosterone replacement, has been clinically proven to improve symptoms of tiredness and chronic fatigue. HGH and testosterone play major roles in how your body creates energy for physical activity and biological processes from the food you eat. As these hormone levels drop, metabolism slows, as does the conversion of calories to energy. Lack of energy is the result.

2. Improve sex drive and sexual stamina

   One of the main symptoms of andropause is erectile dysfunction and a loss of libido or sex drive. HRT for men can increase libido and improve your ability to get and maintain an erection. In fact, one of the first benefits that our patients on HRT report are a reinvigorated sex life!

    

3. Increase muscle mass

   HGH and testosterone are crucial for building muscle. HRT for men will increase your ability to build lean muscle. More lean muscle will improve strength and stamina, raise your metabolism, and help you burn fat.

4. Decreased body fat

   Speaking of burning fat, increasing HGH and testosterone also improves lipolysis – or how your body burns instead of stores fat. HRT can help you lose weight and eliminate stubborn body fat that won’t go away even when dieting and exercising, particularly that stubborn belly fat around your middle!

5. Better focus, improved moods, and concentration

   Both HGH and testosterone are linked to memory, cognition, and mood. This is because of the relationship of these vital hormones for men on neurotransmitters in the brain, like serotonin and dopamine. Increasing the levels of HGH and testosterone through HRT also raises the levels of these “feel good” chemicals in the brain, which improves mood, focus, and cognition.

What Every Man Needs to Know About Hormone Replacement and Andropause

Did you know that men go through a similar condition to menopause in women, known as andropause?

Andropause is a collection of symptoms, the root cause of which is age-related hormone decline. The two most important hormones for men to maintain strength and vitality are HGH and testosterone.

Unfortunately, it is a simple biological fact that once you are over 35, your levels of these critical hormones start to plunge significantly. Once you are in your 40s, you will likely be experiencing the symptoms of andropause to some degree.

The good news is that doctors can treat andropause and age-related hormone decline deficiency with hormone replacement therapy for men.
