Customized hormone therapy involves replacing deficient hormones with those identical to the body’s natural hormones. Hormone deficiencies in men can result from aging, illness, medications, or environmental factors.
Starting around age 40, men’s hormone levels, especially testosterone, begin to decline. Approximately 30% of men aged 60-70 and 70% of men aged 70-80 experience low testosterone levels, often referred to as “andropause” due to testosterone being part of the androgen hormone class.
Androgen deficiency is linked with several medical conditions, including osteoporosis, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and atherosclerosis. Evidence suggests that testosterone replacement may help manage these issues in testosterone-deficient men.
Hypogonadism, the clinical term for low serum testosterone, can occur at any age and is associated with:
Hormone therapy for men primarily involves testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), but may also include other hormones such as DHEA and pregnenolone. The process starts with an assessment of hormone levels via saliva or blood tests, followed by evaluating signs and symptoms and then replacing the deficient hormones.Â
Regular monitoring of laboratory values and clinical responses is crucial for adjusting treatment as needed. Men with a history of prostate cancer, elevated PSA levels, or cardiovascular disease may need special consideration when considering TRT.
Achieving hormonal balance involves more than just replacing testosterone. Evaluating and treating thyroid and adrenal function, as well as nutritional status, are important aspects of comprehensive care.
