TRT Clinic Michigan

As many men approach and pass their fortieth birthdays, they begin to notice unpleasant symptoms. These symptoms can include everything from decreased sex drive and libido to weight gain, lack of concentration, lower energy, and the onset of depression. Unfortunately, too many men are told these symptoms are just “part of aging” and there’s nothing that can be done about it. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, in many cases, these symptoms are caused by an age-related hormone imbalance and decreasing levels of the male hormone testosterone. And here’s the good news: there is something you can do through testosterone replacement clinics for testosterone replacement therapy in Michigan such as Genemedics Health Institute.

What is Andropause?

You’re probably familiar with menopause, or the period in a woman’s life when she stops naturally producing sex hormones like estrogen and progesterone. What many men don’t know is that men go through a similar decline in hormones. It’s called andropause. Andropause is marked by the gradual decline in male hormones, specifically testosterone. Unlike with women, where the hormone decline is relatively abrupt, andropause is a gradual process, with testosterone production declining by 1% or 2% a year, after about age 30. By age 45, as many as 40% of all men will have low testosterone levels. The effect is insidious: symptoms creep up gradually, and the risk of contracting a serious disease like heart disease slowly rises. Most men can’t point to the single moment they began andropause, but they can look back a decade earlier and realize how much less energy they have or how much their health status has deteriorated. To complicate matters, andropause is often accompanied by other hormone-related conditions that mask its symptoms and create additional health problems. These include low levels of thyroid hormone (hypothyroidism), adrenal fatigue, low levels of DHEA and growth hormone, and even deficiency in vitamin D.

Michigan Men Fight Back Against Hormone Imbalance

The good news is that you don’t have to quietly suffer the effects of andropause and hormone imbalance. In fact, through the use of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy in Michigan, it’s possible to fully restore your hormone profile to the levels you enjoyed in your twenties and thirties. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, or BHRT, is a comprehensive approach to hormone imbalance in men. In essence, BHRT is the science of using bioidentical hormones to replace or restore hormones lost to aging or disease. A comprehensive BHRT program in Michigan will evaluate your total hormone status, including levels of testosterone, DHEA, estrogen, pregnenolone, growth hormone, and thyroid hormone. Based on these test results, TRT Doctors in Michigan will prescribe exact doses of bioidentical hormones to restore your hormone levels back to the levels you enjoyed in your twenties and thirties.

Low Testosterone in Men – TRT Clinic Michigan

Testosterone deserves special mention because it’s the primary male sex hormone. Testosterone is responsible for creating your secondary sex characteristics during puberty and bestowing vibrant good health throughout your adult life. For many men, the age-related reduction in testosterone that begins in their thirties (e.g., andropause) is the primary culprit behind their symptoms, and it’s easy to understand why:

• More than 5 million men suffer from low testosterone, but less than 10% of these men typically receive treatment for it.
• By the year 2025, 6.5 million American men will have clinically low levels of testosterone.
• By age 45, almost 40% of men will have low testosterone levels.

Besides age, there are various reasons testosterone levels may be low. These include:

• Diseases of the testicles (primary hypogonadism) are caused by birth defects, diseases including kidney and liver disease, certain drugs, radiation therapy, infections like AIDS and mumps, trauma, or autoimmune disorders.
• Disease of the pituitary gland or hypothalamus (secondary hypogonadism), often caused by diseases such as diabetes, use of opiates, treatment with glucocorticoids, or abuse of steroids.
