In AB hormone therapy, Dr. Uribe refused the idea that you will feel tired and like your own version of self as to get older. The decrease in testosterone levels is a normal part of aging, but if you have symptoms that interfere with your life, we have treatment that can help.
Hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) is a common treatment for women who have decreased estrogen due to menopause. Men may experience a similar phenomenon, called Andropause, which causes a decrease in testosterone production. Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) can help in eliminating symptoms such as erectile dysfunction (ED) among many others which is a result of Andropause.
Testosterone and your body
You may be surprised to know that a woman’s body produces testosterone, because sometimes it is described as “male hormone.” During adolescence, a man’s body begins to produce more testosterone more, and as an adult, men have a much higher level than women.
As a hormone messenger that triggers physiology and function of men, testosterone plays an important role by:
- Deepen your voice
- Causing the growth of body hair, face, and genitals
- Contribute to increasing bone and muscle mass
- Affect sexual development
- Increase libido
- Contribute to the development of memory and reasoning ability
Testosterone continues to regulate your sexual function and physical condition throughout your life. This important hormone even plays a role in keeping your heart healthy because it helps your body produces red blood cells.
After around the age of 30, testosterone levels begin to decrease at around 1% per year, often leading to lower libido, decreased physical condition, and other negative effects.
How do you feel with fewer testosterone
Loss of 1% of your testosterone every year means you may not see any changes for a long time, but once your production reaches a certain point, you may begin to pay attention to the effects on your health and welfare. When you see Dr. Uribe, he first overdone other fundamental causes of your problem.
If Dr. Uribe thinks your hormone therapy for men might be low testosterone, blood tests can confirm. Some symptoms include:
- Low libido
- Erectile dysfunction
- Increased body fat
- Muscle loss
- Decreased bone density
- Changes in your cholesterol composition
- Less focus
- Mood changes such as depression
- Loss of energy
Some of these symptoms can have another impact and worsen the others. For example, when you lose muscle mass, you might see an increase in body fat because your body does not burn calories efficiently.
Testosterone replacement therapy
After Dr. Uribe determines that the low testosterone causes your symptoms, he can recommend TRT. Five improvements that you might see include:
Increase in energy levels
Instead of fatigue and Lesian, you tend to feel excited and witness your energy level increase along with your durability.
New sex drive
If you feel the lower testosterone effect in the bedroom, you might find that your libido returns with TRT.
Reangible muscle mass
If your efforts in the gym do not provide the expected results, TRT can help. Heavy exercise and resistance produce better results when your testosterone levels are balanced. As a bonus, TRT helps increase your metabolism.
Goodbye, body fat!
More muscle mass, increased energy levels, and encouragement for your metabolism to join to make it easier to lose excessive weight called “backup tires” that may have accumulated around your waist.
