Hormone Replacement Therapy in Kansas City can allow men to balance hormones and prevent age related health conditions and issues. While hormones can become imbalanced for many reasons, the most common reason for hormone imbalance is aging. When aging occurs, the endocrine system begins to produce fewer hormones. In men, the testicles supply the body with the primary male sex hormones, while the adrenal glands supply the rest of the body’s hormones, and when these glands cannot produce the necessary amounts of hormones, several health conditions can occur.
Despite the fact that aging can cause a steep hormonal decline, other factors such as stress, a poor diet, lack of exercise, and poor lifestyle choices can also play a role in hormonal imbalances. However, a Kansas City Hormone Replacement Therapy doctor can help men to regain their health through a customized Bioidentical Hormone program. Hormone Replacement Therapy Doctors in Kansas City serve patients in the areas of Kansas City and Riverview, Santa Fe, Shawnee Heights, Victory Hills and Olathe, Kansas and the areas of Amber Hills Estates, Ashton, Briarwood, Central Core, Fairview, Frisco Lakes, Indian Creek, Mahaffie-Westerfield, Olathe Trails, Reserves, Water Works, and Westview.
In men, age related hormone decline is most commonly referred to as Andropause, and during this time, testosterone levels begin to decline. In men, testosterone levels can begin to decline as early as the 30’s, and this gradual decline continues until andropause sets in during the mid to late 40’s or early 50’s.
Testosterone decline is a much more gradual process than female menopause, but the symptoms can still reduce the quality of life. Symptoms of andropause may include low libido, insomnia, anger, erectile dysfunction, hair loss, muscle atrophy, heart palpitations, headaches, fatigue, mood swings, anxiety, high blood pressure, depression, and weight gain.
One of the biggest problems that men encounter during andropause is erectile dysfunction, and while this issue can occur at any time during a man’s life, it typically occurs due to hormone decline. Other factors that can influence sexual dysfunction include high stress, not getting enough sleep, or eating an unhealthy diet.
Hormone imbalances can reduce testosterone, which controls sexual function and performance. Stress can cause the adrenal glands to release cortisol, which can negatively influence testosterone to cause sexual issues, and poor dietary choices reduce the body’s nutrition, which can impair hormone production. Despite the factors that lead to a hormone imbalance, a lack of testosterone is usually a primary cause of erectile dysfunction. Balancing hormones with Bioidentical Hormone Therapy can help men to restore sexual function and libido.
Low levels of male androgens can lead to numerous health problems in men, and two of the most important male hormones include DHEA and testosterone. DHEA is a building block for testosterone, and during a man’s 20’s and 30’s, this hormone is abundant in the body. DHEA maintains many functions, and it works to reduce allergies, increase muscle tone, reduce triglycerides, lower fat, and promote bone growth. However, as aging occurs, DHEA begins to reduce, and by the age of 70, most men only have one fourth of the DHEA they had during youth.
A lack of DHEA can cause men to experience higher levels of allergies, abdominal fat, cholesterol, and triglycerides and reduced muscle growth, immune function, and brain functions. Insufficient DHEA may also cause testosterone deficiencies; however, restoring DHEA with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can help men to improve their health and alleviate the symptoms of age related hormone decline.
Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone, and it helps men to maintain energy, libido, and muscle mass. When men become testosterone deficient during andropause or due to stress, they often assume that the symptoms they are feeling are just due to getting older. Men with low levels of testosterone often suffer from low libido, reduced stamina and endurance, muscle atrophy, weight gain, erectile dysfunction, mood changes, increased abdominal fat, thinning hair, high blood pressure, and decreased workout performances. Restoring testosterone to healthy levels can help men to improve their overall levels of health and wellness and alleviate the symptoms of low testosterone.
