What is Andropause?
Male menopause, or andropause, is a name given to a menopause-like condition in men as they age. Andropause is primarily due to a decline in the male hormone testosterone, which can lead to depression, mood swings, and a loss of energy and concentration. While andropause does not cause a man's reproductive system to stop working altogether, some men will experience bouts of decreased libido, impotence, or erectile dysfunction.
Symptoms of Andropause:
Decrease in spontaneous early morning erections
Decreased libido
Decrease in fullness of erections
Decrease in volume of ejaculate or strength of climax
Difficulty starting or maintaining an erection
Lack of focus and mental sharpness
Fatigue
Forgetfulness
Mood swings
Unexplained depression
Increased body aches and stiffness
How Can TRT Help Andropause?
Over the past several years, numerous reports have appeared in the press regarding the benefits of Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) in healthy aging men. With the arrival of Viagra and other sexual function products, many men are now trying testosterone to help their flagging libidos keep up with their newfound ability to maintain youth-quality erections. Stories continue to appear in medical literature exalting the muscle-boosting, fat-busting effects of TRT, not only in athletes but also in sedentary, healthy older men.
Your Health. Your Choice.
The decision to start TRT is a personal and complex decision. There are many well-documented beneficial effects of maintaining a youthful level of testosterone, and we believe that the preponderance of evidence supports its use in most aging men.
