Dr. Anju Mathur, who runs the Angel Longevity Medical Center in Los Angeles, is an active proponent for hormone replacement therapy for men. Very often women who go through menopause use hormone replacement therapy to alleviate symptoms that result from insufficient hormones in the body. Not so often, men are treated with hormone replacement therapy. But the benefits are available to men as well as women and can relieve symptoms that many consider just symptoms of aging.
Most men don’t know about the possibility of testosterone hormone replacement, and as a result they suffer endlessly when they really do not have to. When you see an older gentleman who is tired, first of all, he has little motivation in his work, and he has an anxiety about the body. There is weight gain, and there is an overall low sense of well being.
Insufficient testosterone also causes a man to lose his hair. Sometimes this is not a symptom, and a man can have low levels of hormones, and keep a full head of hair. But often testosterone replacement will stop hair loss.
These symptoms are most often found in men over the age of 40, although sometimes the glands slack off on hormone production at age 30. The sooner one has his hormone levels tested and treatment started, the better, but men of any age can be helped. Sometimes inadequate testosterone levels progresses from just feeling tired and unwell to depression. All these symptoms are just caused by insufficient testosterone levels.
HRT Programs
At Angel Longevity Medical Center there are two different programs in use to handle low testosterone levels. Often a patient does not need to take testosterone internally. The methods of treatment are:
*Testosterone stimulation treatment. We stimulate the body to produce its own testosterone.
*Testosterone replacement. In this case, the patient does take testosterone internally.
You don’t have to take testosterone if you don’t want to, as we can stimulate the body to make it. If it works, great, if not we can simulate it in the body.
Sufficient levels of testosterone have also been found to increase a man’s lifespan. So not only will a man with testosterone replacement get rid of all those symptoms of age, he will also live longer.
Using bioidentical hormones makes male HRT a very safe treatment, with no side effects. Bioidentical means the hormones used for replacement are exactly the same as the ones the body produces. All hormones used at Angel Longevity Medical Center are bioidentical.
An older man can become enthusiastic for life again, active physically and mentally. There is no need to sit around tired and depressed. And he will live longer.
