Hormones are chemicals that control many different bodily processes, from heart rate to sexual function. Testosterone is the primary male hormone, and it affects male characteristics like muscle mass, hair growth, sex drive, and more.
Testosterone levels naturally fluctuate over your lifetime. However, low testosterone is a condition that develops when testosterone gets too low over a long period of time. Testosterone naturally declines with age, leaving you with a range of unpleasant symptoms.
HRT is a medical treatment that rebalances key hormones to help you feel better. For men, that usually includes testosterone supplements to minimize bothersome symptoms and improve quality of life.
Low testosterone and other hormonal imbalances can leave you feeling less than your best. Some common signs of hormonal imbalance in men include:
Hormonal imbalance affects every individual differently, so you may experience some symptoms more than others. However, if any of these symptoms sound familiar, it’s time to make an appointment with your health care provider. You could be living with a hormonal imbalance, and HRT for men could help you feel like yourself again.
At Condrell Primary Care, their team specializes in identifying and treating hormonal imbalances in men of all ages. They can diagnose low testosterone with a consultation, which typically includes a thorough review of your symptoms and blood testing.
If you have a hormone deficiency, your provider may recommend HRT. Therapy is completely customizable, and your provider works closely with you to balance your hormones to optimal levels.
HRT involves taking synthetic hormones. Your body absorbs them in the same way it would natural hormones, and you experience a decrease in symptoms. Depending on your needs, HRT supplements may be available in oral pills, topical creams, skin patches, or under-skin pellets.
HRT for men can improve many common symptoms, from low sex drive and erectile dysfunction to fatigue and weight gain.
You don’t have to accept the symptoms of low testosterone as part of getting older. Boost your wellbeing with HRT at Condrell Primary Care. Call the office or request a consultation online today.
