Male Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormones in men will begin to diminish as we age. It’s a fact of life that as we get older our bodies’ ability to handle stress, maintain our muscle and bone mass, and keep up our sex drive is threatened. This is due to imbalanced hormones brought on by age. Hormone imbalance in men is normal, but completely avoidable and reversible. Our physicians are masters in Male Hormone Replacement Therapy to help men who suffer from low t and other symptoms of male menopause as a result of declining male hormones.
Male Hormone Facts
What every man should know about his male hormones and male hormone therapy:
- Fact: Hormones – hundreds of them – control the chemistry of the body. Our male hormone treatment deals with those most closely affecting the aging process and quality of life, namely: Testosterone, Estrogen, Thyroid, DHEA, Cortisol, and Human Growth Hormone.
- Fact: Hormone treatment for men is safe if done correctly. See is hormone therapy safe for more information.
- Fact: All of the Male hormones we work with are important – but – testosterone in men is the most important. The symptoms of low t are very similar to symptoms of male menopause.
- Fact: Male hormone therapy is not only safe, it is healthy, i.e. men feel significantly better in just 4 to 6 weeks after starting treatment. In addition, studies now suggest that balanced hormones in men lead to a healthier male body and mind and less chronic illnesses including Alzheimer’s.
- Fact: Effective hormone treatment for men is all about balance. One size does not fit all. At ReNEW MAN your treatment is individualized and designed for you. See What to Expect From Treatment for more information on our programs.
- Fact: Testing and retesting male hormones at appropriate intervals is critical to safe and optimal treatment for imbalanced hormones.
Below you will see additional information and cautions that should assist you in seeking male hormone treatment. What you learn on this website and other websites should put you in an informed position to ask the hard questions of any doctor with whom you discuss male hormone treatment. If you do not get straightforward, factual answers, please take a moment to call ReNEW MAN or you can also request a consultation through our contact form for more information. Take charge of your healthcare decisions – you owe it to yourself.
Male Hormone Replacement Therapy & Optimal Male Hormones
Optimal hormone levels are not the same for everyone. This is where a lot of physicians and hormone treatment programs go wrong. At ReNEW MAN we are concerned with getting you back to the male hormone levels that work best for you. For most men those are levels that are at or are close to the upper end of the laboratory tested range. For example, the laboratory-tested range for free testosterone is 80pg to 240pg. Most men will start feeling the effects of low testosterone when free testosterone levels fall to about 130pg and symptoms increase as testosterone continues to decline. Any doctor who tests testosterone for a patient having low t symptoms, and gets results in the lower part of the range and says “you’re fine, you are in the normal range” – or – “you are normal for your age” – is doing their patient a serious disservice.
Why is Testing & Retesting so Important?
Testing and retesting hormone imbalance in men is the only way of knowing what is happening with hormones inside your body. For example: As men age and hormones decline, men will often lose muscle mass and gain fat. Fat contains an enzyme call aromatase. Aromatase works to convert testosterone to estrogen. Elevated estrogen leads to low sex drive and is dangerous, particularly to the prostate. We counter this by increasing testosterone and suppressing estrogen as necessary. Over the course of 3 to 6 months of healthy hormones and good lifestyle, men will lose fat, regain muscle, and, as a result, cease to have a conversion problem. We can also make adjustments to treatments through retesting. For example, men will sometimes say that they feel great with new healthy testosterone levels, but they still lack an adequate sex drive. By retesting, we can make adjustments and often solve the problem. Male hormone treatment could not be assessed or managed without testing and retesting.
As you begin exploring treatment for hormones for men please be aware of certain CAUTIONS:
Florida Male Hormone Replacement Therapy Programs—Ask the hard questions!!
Less-than-acceptable quality male hormone therapy programs tend to operate out of Florida, where medical laws and rules tend to be more lax. Several have been closed by the state and simply reopen under a different name a few weeks later. In these programs:
- Everyone is treated with the same protocol (medications/hormones). There are no individually catered programs.
- Everyone is put on an estrogen blocker, whether it is needed or not.
- Seldom do they test and treat thyroid and DHEA.
- Seldom do they monitor and control hematocrit. Testosterone will increase hematocrit in some men. If not treated, it can increase the chances of stroke.
- Retesting is nonexistent, or at best inconsistent.
- Little or no attention is paid to lifestyle.
- They often “stack hormones,” i.e. use several synthetic testosterones in a combination ”testosterone cocktail.”.This is very dangerous practice.
Note: If you talk to a Florida program, take a few minutes and call ReNEW MAN. You will quickly see the difference.
Family doctors –Ask the hard questions!!
Though well intentioned, when it comes to the delicate and complicated protocol of male hormone therapy, most family doctors are not trained and lack knowledge and the time commitment to be able to assure effective and safe results.
- Initial diagnosis is often incorrect, e.g. depression is treated with an antidepressant rather than as a consequence of low hormones.
- The tendency to treat everyone with the same protocol, e.g. 50mg of topical testosterone applied to the skin each morning.
- They may not test and retest estrogen; remember — this is dangerous.
- They often do not test for DHEA and thyroid.
- Retesting tends to be inconsistent or not done at all.
- Little or no attention is paid to lifestyle.
Urologists – usually have the knowledge but will not take the time to provide safe quality treatment. They are high-production doctors, and their practices see a high volume of patients. If you are seeking male hormone replacement therapy make sure you’re asking your doctor the hard questions!!
Endocrinologists – Hormones are their specialty. However, their clients are 90+% women and diabetics. Endocrinologist may know a lot about hormones, but they treat few if any men. Ask them the hard questions!!
