Hormone replacement therapy replaces hormones that the body is no longer capable of producing. Many men are susceptible to hormone loss as they age resulting in hormonal imbalance or fewer hormones, both of which bring along a host of unwanted potential symptoms and may increase the likelihood of certain conditions. As men age, the body’s production of hormones, including testosterone, naturally decreases. Hormone therapy supplements the reduced hormones to prevent the hormonal imbalance from occurring.

Testosterone is necessary in men for sexual development, proper functioning of the reproductive organ, maintaining healthy levels of red blood cells, building muscle mass, and maintaining bone density. The infusion of testosterone through hormone replacement therapy enhances health and effects and physiological functions while providing better overall health and happiness.

There are many signs a man may require hormone replacement therapy including difficulty sleeping, fatigue, and weight fluctuation. While experiencing testosterone deficiency symptoms, such as depression, anxiety, mood swings, and difficulty concentrating may affect mental health. Men who haven’t experienced positive results from other treatments and/or recommended lifestyle changes such as dietary changes may benefit from the treatment.

Restoring a testosterone balance can benefit men experiencing andropause, also known as male menopause. Hormone replacement therapy is for men without chronic conditions who are otherwise in good health. 

Men can benefit from hormone replacement therapy in an array of ways; the most well-known hormone replacement therapy for men regulates testosterone levels to allow normal physiological and biological functioning. Hormone replacement therapy is most often used when traditional treatment methods fail to produce results in men with testosterone deficiency, or unnaturally low testosterone levels.

Hormonal imbalance can occur for many potential reasons and produce various symptoms, for this reason, treatment options are equally varied and which form of hormone replacement therapy works best will vary depending on each patient.

The staff of medical professionals at Rebuil-T Healthcare will work with each patient to determine which treatment option works best for them. Intramuscular testosterone injections are typically administered into the muscles of the buttocks every two to three weeks. Testosterone patches are applied daily, usually, rotating between the abdomen, buttocks, arms, and back. Topical testosterone gel is applied daily to the arms, shoulders, or abdomen in most cases.

Hormone replacement therapy supplements existing hormones to mitigate symptoms resulting from hormonal imbalance. The levels of hormones, including testosterone, are naturally depleted over time resulting in a variety of symptoms and potential conditions including andropause. Andropause is a condition that describes age-related changes in testosterone levels usually experienced by men who are 50 or older.

A condition known as hypogonadism, caused by the dysfunction of the testicles preventing the body from producing proper testosterone levels, also involved low testosterone and similar symptoms. Hormone replacement therapy can be an excellent option for men experiencing low testosterone levels and can improve physiological functions and health effects, managing symptoms and improving health and happiness.

Some minor risks typically occur more prominently at the beginning of treatment and diminish with time as they vary depending on which type of treatment the patient is undergoing. The risk of any serious complication is highly unusual. However, certain individuals are not good candidates for hormone replacement therapy, including those with chronic conditions or who are not in otherwise good health. Staff at Rebuil-T Healthcare will help patients determine if hormone replacement therapy is the right option for them and answer any questions they have about associated risks or the many benefits of the treatment.
