Male Menopause

Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment for Male Hormone Imbalances




Male menopause called andropause is caused by the lowering of hormone levels. The hormones are testosterone, thyroid, human growth hormone (HGH) and DHEA.

Male hormones start the decline in the mid-twenties. Men can usually start feeling the effects of lower hormone levels by the time they reach 35.

Every man will have to deal with andropause. Symptoms of male menopause can easily be fixed by replacing the lost hormones.

Replacing hormones for men can be done safely by using bio-identical natural hormones.

Bio-identical hormones are the same hormones produced naturally by the body. These are not laboratory produced synthetic hormones.
