Fatigue. Sex drive stuck in neutral. Unexplained melancholy. Weight gain and a protruding belly. In men, these are common symptoms that fall under the term andropause, often referred to as male menopause. Unlike menopause in women, which involves the relatively sudden decrease of hormone levels, andropause is a gradual decline in hormone production that often begins in your 30s and continues well past 70. At Rejuvime Medical, we offer andropause treatment, including testosterone replacement therapy, for men from New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, and throughout Louisiana and Mississippi.
The key to understanding how men age is understanding the role that hormones—especially testosterone—play in producing the energy, libido, and strength associated with masculinity. Declining testosterone levels affect your vigor, sex drive, physical performance, and mental sharpness. Andropause is a decline in male hormones, and it’s part of the natural aging process. This dip in testosterone and other hormones occurs gradually, starting for most men in their early 30s.
At Rejuvime Medical, we provide hormone replacement therapy and other anti-aging treatments for men who want to regain their edge, improve their mood, and stay mentally sharp.
If you’ve noticed your youthful zest diminishing, it could be andropause. Insomnia, an expanding waistline, and diminished libido are all signs of andropause. Some other symptoms include:
Andropause may be the cause of these symptoms. Still, it’s important to schedule an appointment with your doctor to rule out potential underlying illnesses associated with similar symptoms, such as cardiac problems, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, or depression.
Once a doctor rules out other conditions and you’re leading a healthy lifestyle, you may want to consider treatments to increase your testosterone levels. The idea that men go through mid-life hormonal changes similar to menopause is relatively new and is the subject of ongoing research1.
Testosterone levels decrease at the rate of 1% per year with aging, although the rate varies depending on multiple factors, including serious emotional stress, chronic disease, medications, and obesity.
At Rejuvime Medical, we offer clinically tested solutions that can help improve men’s physical performance, energy, and sex drive. The treatments include testosterone replacement therapy, medication to trigger the body’s production of certain hormones and a drug that can help block the conversion of testosterone to estrogen.
Making healthier lifestyle choices, such as an exercise routine that includes both aerobic activity and strength training, along with reducing alcohol and tobacco use, can complement your treatment and help minimize your symptoms.
Men may believe they don’t have the time for hormone replacement therapy, that it’s too complicated, or express skepticism about its effectiveness. At Rejuvime Medical, our nurse practitioners, supported by a physician, create treatment plans customized to your needs as part of a 3-step process that begins with providing an overview of our services.
