Andropause
Andropause is the male counterpart of menopause. Some men may experience a sudden change in testosterone levels which compares to the hormonal changes experienced by women during menopause. For most men, however, the hormonal decline is more subtle.
The average male's testosterone level begins to decline at a rate of about 1% each year after the age of 40. A thorough medical history and blood tests by a physician are necessary to accurately diagnose andropause.
Like menopause, andropause has a wide array of symptoms, which may include:
• Atherosclerosis
• Depression and Anxiety
• Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
• Heart Disease
• Osteoporosis
• Reduced Libido
Hormone Replacement Therapy for Andropause
Testosterone is the replacement hormone used to treat andropause. Testosterone should not be confused with synthetic androgen derivatives or anabolic steroids, which can cause cancer and liver damage. Penro Compounding uses ONLY bio-identical, or natural, testosterone U.S.P.
Testosterone can be administered in a variety of ways, including injections. Most men prefer a transdermal gel which is applied directly to the skin and does not irritate the skin like testosterone patches.
Testosterone can also be taken in the form of lozenges which come in many different flavors, including watermelon, wild cherry and peppermint. A variety of strengths are available and can be customized to meet your needs. We can assist you and your physician in choosing the right formulation and strength for you. Men with a history of either breast cancer or prostate cancer should not take testosterone therapy.
When combined with a healthy lifestyle, testosterone therapy can help achieve favorable results for men who are experencing symptoms of andropause.
