Hormones for men.

Every man's hormone production begins a gradual decline around age 30, roughly one to two percent a year. Sometime between 40 and 55, testosterone falls sharply. That is andropause, the male counterpart of menopause. In years past it was dismissed as a midlife crisis, and men were told to accept it. We disagree.

When it happens, men often find themselves lacking sexual drive, putting on weight, losing muscle mass, and feeling sluggish, depressed and irritable. These symptoms are real, they are hormonal, and they respond to treatment.

Note: some symptoms of hormonal imbalance can have other causes and should always be evaluated by a physician.

Why patients choose pellet therapy.

Hormone replacement for men can be expensive, require daily dosing, and demand careful timing. Pellet therapy is different: a simple insertion delivers steady, natural hormone levels around the clock for months at a time, without synthetics. Benefits our patients report include:

Left untreated, it compounds.

Untreated andropause looks a lot like untreated menopause: anxiety, low mood, declining sharpness, disturbed sleep, reduced strength and endurance, and prolonged recovery from exercise. Over time, more serious concerns can follow, including weight gain, bone loss, and worsening cholesterol. Physicians are increasingly diagnosing andropause properly instead of writing prescriptions that never address the underlying cause.
