Men Who Lose their Hair
Did you know that hair loss in males is a symptom of andropause? And what is andropause? Andropause is a diminishing of hormone output in various glands of men, and it occurs in the fourth and fifth decade of life. It could possibly be called male menopause, but some of the symptoms are different in men than in women.
The word andropause comes from the word androgen, which merely means any male hormones – such as testosterone – responsible for male characteristics. Although male reproductive organs do not shut down during middle age, as do female reproductive organs, the glands produce a gradually diminishing amount of hormones, as a man gets older.
Can anything be done about these symptoms of age? Lessening of muscle mass and strength, loss of sex drive, less restful sleep, anxiety, sluggishness, and a pot belly can also be symptoms of andropause in addition to hair loss. Are these symptoms unavoidable? In this article we will discuss what can be done.
As women can benefit from hormone replacement therapy, so, too, can men. The important steps to take in order for hormone replacement therapy to succeed are making sure the replacements are bioidentical and replacing all of the dwindling hormones, not just testosterone.
Many hormones being sold as replacements are not the same as the ones in the body, notably estrogen made from pregnant horse urine. But if you put a bioidentical hormone in the body, the organs will recognize and use it.
One must go through medical tests to find out the specific dose of which specific hormones to replace. Differences in age, diet and other factors can affect hormone loss – so each individual is different.
Once testing is done, and the facts are known, exact amounts of needed hormones can be given to a level that will compare to the levels of hormones in the body when one was young. Symptoms like lack of energy and interest in life, low libido, insomnia and loss of hair can slow down or halt or even reverse. Indeed, it seems like one regains youth.
There are thousands of men who have benefited from hormone replacement therapy with no side effects. It is a natural way to slow the aging process and bring new vigor to a sluggish lifestyle. There’s no reason to mope because you reached middle age – do something about it!
