Biomimetic Hormone Therapy for Men

Natural biomimetic hormone replacement therapy is also available for men. Male menopause or correctly, “andropause” is not often talked about. Men, just like women, experience a lowering of sex hormone levels as they age. Unlike women, whereby menopause occurs very quickly and they face a sudden onslaught of undesirable symptoms, the decline of hormone levels in men occurs at a slower pace over a longer period of time. The symptoms include a loss of libido, loss of ambition, loss of muscle strength and mass, increased fatigue, depression, loss of energy and loss of mental clarity. These symptoms together all result in a lowering of the quality of life for men. You do not have to approach this stage of life feeling this way. There is a solution available for men. Natural biomimetic hormone therapy (also known as bioidentical hormone therapy) is also available for men and will improve your symptoms and quality of life.

Decreasing levels of hormones in men include declining testosterone, progesterone, DHEA, and human growth hormone (HGH). At this time in life, estrogen, which is also found in men’s bodies, can become elevated. Excess estrogen levels in men can be rebalanced with biomimetic hormone therapy.

Testosterone, not just a sex hormone is vital in the bodies of men and women. It is involved with many other functions in the human body. It helps strengthen the immune system, controls blood sugar levels, is involved in the formation of bone, assists with mental concentration, stabilizes mood, protects against Alzheimer’s and most importantly, assists in maintaining a healthy heart.

If you are a man and experiencing the symptoms of andropause, consult a doctor who is experienced in dealing with hormonal imbalance which occurs with all of us as we age. This doctor must also be able to prescribe natural biomimetic hormone therapy. The doctor will test the levels of hormones in your body by doing a hormone panel and prescribe the correct amount of biomimetic hormones to replace what is missing. Your prescription will be made up by an experienced compounding pharmacist. Generally, men will be prescribed natural biomimetic progesterone and testosterone in a cream. The creams will be applied to the skin daily in the exact dosage. Your hormone levels and symptoms will be checked again a few months later to assess your situation. Adjustments to your biomimetic hormone prescription will be made if necessary.
