Male Hormones

Women who want to handle symptoms of menopause often seek a doctor’s help to replace the dwindling supply of hormones naturally produced by the body. But if a man wants to avoid wrinkly skin, weakness and loss of strength, hair falling out, and low libido, what should he do? Why not the same? Replace the lost hormones.

What man pictures himself as a bald, wrinkled, weakling? The reason that men are not usually considered for hormone replacement is because they remain fertile long past the age when women stop producing babies.

Male bodies begin to decrease hormone production in when the body ages beyond the age of 30. In some it is more pronounced than others. As age increases, the production of hormones dwindles on a gradient. Not only physical appearance is affected, but also physical and mental well being.

These things are important to men as well as women – who wouldn’t want to feel and appear younger? And recent research has shown that hormone replacement can benefit men just as much as women.

Of course, when you think of male hormones, the one that comes to mind is testosterone. But other hormones play a big role in maintaining youthfulness for men as well as women. Some of the other necessary hormones are growth hormone, thyroid hormone and even estrogen and progesterone.

One important thing to remember if you are interested in hormone replacement is to make sure that the hormones used to replace the lost hormones must be bioidentical. That means that the hormones must be the same as the ones the body produces, not a synthetic. The first step in hormone replacement is medical testing to determine which hormones need to be replaced and in what amount. Then a doctor will prescribe replacements.

The quest for youthfulness has spawned many remedies throughout history – extract from goat testicles was once considered a remedy for men, as well as Dr. Hustler’s Medicine Show tonic (probably full of cocaine which would make you feel youthful for a short time). But the real proven results combine hormone replacement along with a program of healthful diet and exercise.

But finding the real reason for these symptoms of aging and attacking the problem at the source results in a longer lasting benefit. If you suffer from or worry about these symptoms of age, do something about it. Skip the tonic. Get to the cause of the problem and replace the lost hormones.
