Once men progressively start to age, they will inevitably undergo certain changes in their body composition. Typically, these alterations mainly involve aging skin and a slight decrease in mobility as men reach their 30s, but the symptoms can be much worse in some instances. Usually, age-related symptoms are a natural part of life, but in some cases, hormonal imbalance can accelerate the aging process due to several underlying causes. After years of study, researchers have found that the most notorious hormone affecting men’s aging is testosterone.
Testosterone is the primary male hormone responsible for a male’s many physical processes. However, after the age of 30, men’s testosterone levels typically begin to decline by 1% every year, and as that happens, the testosterone deficiency causes a range of related symptoms, which include:
- Constant fatigue
- Lack of sexual desire
- Muscle weakness
- Joint inflammation
- Decreased bone density
- Rapid weight gain
- Reduced cognitive function
If left neglected, low testosterone levels will eventually increase the risk for more serious age-related medical conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, erectile dysfunction, and osteoporosis. In order to alleviate these symptoms, it is necessary to replenish your low testosterone levels with “new” testosterone so they can return to normal standards. That, of course, will require treatment. And currently, the safest and most effective treatment to re-introduce testosterone into the body typically involves testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).
