Andropause: Understanding the Male Menopause

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM ANDROPAUSE TREATMENT

Unlike menopause, which happens at a specific time in a woman’s life, andropause in men develops more slowly over time. As critical hormones such as testosterone and human growth hormone (HGH) decline as a man ages, it can lead to the symptoms of andropause, such as fatigue, decreased libido, and depression.

Andropause therapy is a treatment option that can help alleviate these symptoms and improve the overall quality of life for men experiencing andropause caused by age-related hormone decline.

Any man between the ages of 35 and 65 who is not feeling as young, strong, or vital as they used to can benefit from andropause therapy. The cornerstone of our andropause treatment is testosterone replacement therapy. There are many benefits of testosterone therapy for men suffering from andropause.

The proven benefits of andropause treatment include the following:

• Improved energy levels – Andropause treatment balances your essential hormone levels, allowing you to do more activities and keep doing all you love.

• Better moods – Andropause treatment can help eliminate mood swings, irritability, and stress. Boosting your hormones with andropause treatment will also improve your self-esteem, confidence, and motivation.

• Improved fitness – Many hormones we provide as part of our andropause treatment increase your metabolism and improve your ability to burn fat, build lean muscle mass, and increase muscle tone. After our andropause treatment here in Omaha, NE, you may find yourself in the best shape of your life!  

• Improved sexual performance and increased sex drive – Andropause treatment will result in an improved sex drive and enhanced sexual performance creating improved intimacy for you and your partner!

• Improved memory and enhanced cognitive function – A common complaint among men going through andropause is “mental fog,” memory loss, and other cognitive issues. Andropause treatment improves brain health and cognitive function. 

• Reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases – Low testosterone levels in men increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Testosterone replacement therapy, which is part of our andropause treatment plan, can reduce the risk of heart disease and improve heart health!

HOW DOES ANDROPAUSE THERAPY WORK?

Andropause therapy works by bringing your hormone levels back into their optimal range.

There are textbook “normal” hormone levels for men; however, what is “normal” for you, may not be “normal” for somebody else. That is exactly why we tailor your andropause therapy to your individual needs, wellness goals, and lifestyle.

Once we have obtained a comprehensive picture of your health, our doctors and staff will create a customized andropause treatment plan based on your unique needs and symptoms. We will also help you to make lifestyle changes to ensure that you get the optimal results from your andropause treatment.

SIGNS & SYMPTOMS OF ANDROPAUSE IN MEN

EXPECTED RESULTS FROM ANDROPAUSE THERAPY

Testosterone therapy results vary from patient to patient, but all patients see improvement. Testosterone replacement therapy is given over the course of several months. It is given via skin patches, creams, gels, injections, and subdermal pellets. You will see continuous improvements in your overall health and well-being as you build towards a leaner, stronger, more energetic version of yourself.

One of the first results –usually within the first few weeks of starting testosterone replacement – will be a noticeable improvement in libido and sexual performance. Beyond that, by the end of your course of testosterone therapy, you will notice the following:

• Increased energy
