If you’re an aging male in your 30s, you’ve probably begun to notice that your body is not responding quite the way it used to when you were in your twenties. Of course, most men will naturally assume that what they’re experiencing is merely a sign of aging. However, although getting older can lead to certain physical changes, it can also leave men vulnerable to certain medical conditions that may affect their physical function and overall physical health. Typically, the most common medical condition to cause such issues for men as they transition into middle age is testosterone deficiency, commonly referred to as low testosterone.
After puberty, men rely on testosterone to help regulate and maintain many of the defining male characteristics and traits they developed during adolescence. However, once most men reach their 30s, their testosterone levels begin to decline gradually at a rate of 1% every year as they age. Once their testosterone levels drop below the normal parameters for their age, men typically experience several unwanted debilitating symptoms such as decreased muscle mass, low sex drive, thinner bone density, constant fatigue, increased body fat, and joint inflammation.
If left untreated, low testosterone symptoms can persist and lead to more serious health complications such as accelerated sarcopenia, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and erectile dysfunction. As a hormone imbalance, testosterone deficiency can also lead to chemical changes in the brain and cause several mood disorders, such as irritability, anxiety, and depression, that can negatively affect social interactions and uproot relationships between friends, coworkers, and family.
Thankfully, there are treatments available to help men with low testosterone treat their symptoms and avoid these complications. With male hormone replacement therapy (HRT) from Renew Vitality, men can receive hormone medication to help provide the additional hormones needed to balance their hormone levels. Through HRT, our staff at the Renew Vitality Testosterone Clinic in Columbus, GA, can create a testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) plan to help men replenish and boost their testosterone levels to optimized standards. After optimizing their testosterone levels, men can experience several physical improvements, such as improved muscle mass, reduced body fat, enhanced sex drive, and increased energy levels. Thanks to TRT from Renew Vitality Clinic, men can feel younger, stronger, and more energetic as they regain a renewed excitement for the second half of their lives.
