Hormonal imbalance, specifically low testosterone, is a natural part of aging. But it can bring about unwanted changes in how your body feels and functions. The following are some signs of hormonal imbalance in men:
Just because these changes are a natural part of aging doesn’t mean you can’t take action to achieve a better hormonal balance.
When it comes to hormonal imbalance, hormone replacement therapy is the gold standard treatment option. This treatment begins with simple blood testing to determine your current level of hormone production.
If there’s an imbalance, there are numerous ways to add supplemental synthetic testosterone to your system. The process of hormone replacement therapy is highly personalized, and it takes time to find the right balance. Be patient as you go through the process, and communicate any changes you notice with your provider.
Your practitioner can help you find the correct treatment for any chronic health conditions you’re experiencing, and also discuss mental health needs during your visit.
