If you’re a man over 30, you probably have begun noticing that your body has undergone some substantial changes. First, those few extra pounds of belly fat caught your eye while checking yourself out in the bathroom mirror. Next was that day of sudden tiredness in the morning, even after eight hours of sleep. And finally, you’ve noticed that regular workouts at the gym have grown progressively tricky, despite the fact you’re using lighter weights. Naturally, such physical changes can be viewed as common signs of aging. But these symptoms can also become indicators that your body may be struggling with a hormone imbalance, such as low testosterone.
Typically after the age of 30, men’s testosterone levels will slowly decline by 1% every year, potentially leading to a hormone imbalance that can negatively affect their male characteristics and physical health. As a result, men with low testosterone will usually experience various debilitating symptoms, including low sex drive, rapid weight gain, constant fatigue, impaired cognitive function, joint inflammation, and decreased muscle mass and strength. However, because these physical changes are also natural signs that men are transitioning into old age, many usually dismiss these indicators and allow the issues to persist. Unfortunately, this can pose a dangerous threat to their health.
If left unchecked, low testosterone symptoms can lead to more severe medical conditions such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, accelerated sarcopenia, obesity, and diabetes. Living every day with just one of these conditions can make your life uncomfortable and less fulfilling, ultimately ruining your overall sense of well-being. Unfortunately, men with low testosterone are more likely to develop several illnesses simultaneously than men with normal testosterone levels.
Thankfully, medical treatment can help men correct their hormone imbalance and restore physical function. Male hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is an innovative non-invasive treatment that utilizes specific hormonal treatments to help provide the additional hormones required to balance your hormone levels. With HRT, physicians can create a testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) treatment plan to help men raise their low testosterone and alleviate their symptoms. After undergoing TRT, men can experience significant physical improvements such as improved muscle growth, increased sexual desire, denser bone mass, and enhanced sexual performance. By restoring their physical capabilities and optimizing their overall health, men over 30 can enjoy a longer, healthier, and more fulfilling quality of life.
