What is hormone therapy?
Hormone therapy is a method of replacing hormones lost to aging or medical conditions. Your hormones regulate nearly every body function, and an imbalance can cause disruptive and distressing symptoms. Hormone therapy restores your hormonal balance, relieves your symptoms, and restores your vitality.
What is testosterone?
Testosterone is the hormone associated with male sex characteristics ranging from a deep voice and facial hair to the physical changes that emerge during puberty. Testosterone is also a critical part of your sex drive. Testosterone also works with other hormones in your body to support healthy bone development, metabolism, and energy levels.
Your testosterone levels naturally decline as you age. Diabetes and other health problems can also interfere with testosterone production. Trauma to your testicles or another hormone imbalance can influence your testosterone levels.
What are the signs of low testosterone?
Low testosterone causes a variety of distressing symptoms, including:
- Decreased sex drive (low libido)
- Low energy levels
- Weight gain
- Muscle mass loss
Some men experience hot flashes, night sweats, and increased irritability. Low testosterone can also contribute to osteoporosis.
