As men age, they experience a decline in testosterone production, and sometimes the term “andropause” is used to describe this condition. This result in symptoms like a decrease in sex drive or libido that even to lead erectile dysfunction-ED, loss of lean muscle mass, feeling tired all the time FATIGUE, being overweight, and symptoms of depression, to name a few.
In men, testosterone declines on average about 1-2% per year. The decline is even faster in men with chronic stress. The normal level of testosterone in men ranges between 300-1100ng/dl with an average of level of 680ng/dl. In our practice, we see that most men fall far short of this average level, and surprisingly that includes younger men too. Low Testosterone symptoms can happen to men as young as 30. (A simple blood test will show the levels).
Lifestyle change, dietary modification, and testosterone replacement therapy are some of the treatment options available to treat testosterone deficiency (low T). Testosterone replacement therapy as a treatment option includes either using commercially available injections, creams, and gels, or they can be prepared at a compounding pharmacy like Towne Lake Family Pharmacy, in dosages and strengths that are personalized to individual patient needs.
