Typically, most men rarely think about their testosterone while proceeding through their daily routine. However, the male sex hormone plays a huge role in a man’s physical health. During puberty, males heavily rely on the testosterone hormone to develop many male characteristics, such as facial hair, sexual desire, and muscle growth to transition into adulthood. Even after puberty, testosterone continues to regulate and maintain those defining male physical characteristics as it helps to keep men’s bodies healthy and active.
But after men reach their 30s, that all starts to change as their testosterone levels begin to decline and gradually drop by 1% every year. In some cases, testosterone levels may drop dangerously low during this new transition, making it difficult for the body to replenish what it has lost. When the body cannot continue producing adequate amounts of testosterone to maintain itself, it is usually due to a hormone imbalance commonly referred to as low testosterone.
As a result of low testosterone, men will usually experience various unwanted symptoms such as increased body fat, decreased muscle mass, low sex drive, impaired cognitive function, weakened bone density, and joint inflammation, which can affect their physical activity and overall quality of life. The hormone imbalance can even lead to several mood changes, such as depression, irritability, and anxiety, that can negatively affect their social interactions with their co-workers, friends, and family. In a nutshell, low testosterone can not only cause you to lose interest in your daily activity and uproot your relationships with loved ones, taking the joy out of life.
If left untreated, low testosterone symptoms can become precursors to more severe medical conditions such as obesity, accelerated sarcopenia, osteoporosis, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and erectile dysfunction. Sadly enough, these health complications can lead to a further decline in physical function, causing your health to worsen and eventually shorten your lifespan.
Thankfully, there are treatments available that can help treat your low testosterone and avoid these issues. With hormone replacement therapy (HRT) from the men’s health clinic Renew Vitality, men can receive safe hormone medication to help provide the necessary amount of hormones needed to balance their hormone levels. Through HRT, we can provide men with testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) to help replenish and elevate their testosterone levels to optimal standards. After optimizing their testosterone levels, men can experience several improvements to their physical health, including improved muscle growth, enhanced sex drive, reduced body fat, stronger bone density, and increased strength and energy. Thanks to TRT from Renew Vitality, aging men can feel younger, stronger, and more energetic as they improve their overall health and enjoy a more fulfilling quality of life.
