7 Benefits of Men’s Hormone Therapy

As men age, their testosterone levels begin to decline, which can lead to fatigue, weight gain, decreased libido, hair loss, erectile dysfunction, and more. Testosterone levels can also decrease due to other factors such as diabetes, obesity, and testicular problems. Due to the important part testosterone plays in the body, you may consider men’s hormone therapy. Here are the seven impactful benefits that men’s hormone therapy can provide.

Benefits of Men’s Hormone Therapy

Improves Sexual Desire and Function

Many men with low testosterone levels experience a lower sexual desire and may suffer from erectile dysfunction. Men’s hormone therapy can improve both.

Increases Muscle Mass and Strength

Because of testosterone’s anabolic effects, men’s hormone therapy helps increase muscle mass and potential strength so men can better maintain a healthy body composition.

Mitigates Mood Swings

Hormones drive mood, which is why men’s hormone therapy can help improve mood, reduce irritability and depression, and, in some cases, even improve cognitive function and focus.

Improves Bone Density

Because low testosterone can decrease bone density (it plays a role in bone metabolism). Men’s hormone therapy can help increase bone density and thus reduce the risk of future bone fractures.

Increases Energy

Without sufficient testosterone, energy levels drop, and fatigue sets in quickly. Men’s hormone therapy improves energy levels, which in turn improves daily activities.

Can Deliver Better Quality Sleep

While the relationship between testosterone and sleep is not entirely understood, men’s hormone therapy appears to offer a better quality of sleep to many who have previously experienced fitful sleep patterns.

May Improve Insulin Sensitivity

Insulin balance and productivity are crucial components needed to stave off heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Men’s hormone therapy can restore metabolic balance and improve insulin sensitivity.

While men’s hormone therapy can be incredibly beneficial for many men, it’s not a perfect choice for everyone, just as not all men will experience all of these symptoms in conjunction with low testosterone. That’s why it’s important to discuss your concerns with an expert at our office. We can determine if you are struggling with low testosterone and decide if men’s hormone therapy is the right choice for you.
