Reading Time: 6 minutesAndropause is a hormonal condition that impacts men as they grow older, caused by natural changes in hormone balance that are inevitably associated with aging. This change in hormone production can lead to psychological, sexual, and physical changes that inhibit health, suppress vitality, and increase the risk of a variety of conditions that can impair health and wellness. In the past, it was assumed that these physiological changes were strictly due to aging, but the more that doctors research male aging, the more that they discover is actually associated with hormone imbalance and the more it seems possible to alleviate … Read more »

Reading Time: 2 minutesNEW ORLEANS, LA - For decades, men who were diagnosed with prostate cancer got a treatment... injections...that suppressed or lowered the hormone testosterone in their body. And now what a local prostate oncologist uncovered last year and a new large study confirms... this is wrong for many patients. "Now we have good evidence that's it's actually causing harm it causes more harm than good for individuals with localized disease who are initially diagnosed." Tulane's Dr. Oliver Sartor says there is good evidence that lowering a man's natural hormone helps if he has a serious advanced form of prostate cancer, so … Read more »

Reading Time: 2 minutesAndropause or male menopause, sometimes colloquially called "manopause," is a name that has been given, in some parts of the English-speaking world, to a set of effects that appears in some aging men, and which have some superficial similarities to menopause effects in women. Andropause may be related to the slow but steady reduction of the production of the hormones testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone in middle-aged men, and the consequences of that reduction. It is also associated with a decrease in Leydig cells. A steady decline in testosterone levels with age (in both men and women) is well documented. Unlike "menopause," … Read more »

Reading Time: 5 minutesHypogonadism is the term for any condition which causes sex hormones to be produced at levels that are inadequate for normal and healthy function. In males, Hypogonadism is also known as Low-T or Testosterone Deficiency. Dependent upon the age at which Hypogonadism becomes a health issue, the symptoms can be dramatically different. Healthy sex hormone production is absolutely necessary for the development of secondary sexual characteristics during puberty, and if Testosterone or Estrogen Levels are too low, this can lead to delayed puberty or underdevelopment. In adulthood, Hypogonadism affects physiological function rather than development. Testosterone is vitally important to both … Read more »

Reading Time: 2 minutesPhoto: Anna Bryukhanova Ever since humans began selling stuff, hucksters have tried to capitalize off of people's fears of getting old, of losing their flexibility and athleticism, and of leading a generally less exciting and visceral life. An interesting if slightly scary editorial in Journal of the American Geriatrics Society highlights two modern-day instances of this that have run amok: Marketers pushing ever-increasing quantities of testosterone and growth hormone (GH) on people who don't actually have any medical need for these substances, and who may be harmed by them. The folks who sell testosterone often online, directly to consumers have, … Read more »

Reading Time: 3 minutesHormones in the body were designed to rejuvenate, regenerate and restore. They serve as powerful chemical messengers (communicators) sent to specific cells throughout your body to orchestrate many of your body's internal functions, as well as how your organs behave. There are many different hormones your body produces in order to achieve a balance. Even small fluctuations in levels can cause big changes in cells, or even disrupt the balance throughout your entire body. This is another reason to be cautious when selecting hormone replacement therapy. The goal should always be hormonal balance based in science, rather than experimentation or … Read more »

Reading Time: 3 minutesSenior adult. Credit: Mumininan / Getty Images Updated April 03, 2016. Andropause, also called "male menopause," is the time in a man's life when he starts to notice the effects of gradually falling levels of hormones. Although the hormones actually begin to decline much earlier, he may become aware of the decline during his late 40s or early 50s. Some clinicians and researchers have questioned whether male menopause is more myth than reality, since it's not sudden, like menopause in women. Still, as in women undergoing menopause, men experiencing a decline in hormones may suffer from symptoms of andropause. And … Read more »

Reading Time: < 1 minuteAging changes in the male reproductive system may include changes in testicular tissue, sperm production, and erectile function. These changes usually occur gradually. Unlike women, men do not experience a major, rapid (over several months) change in fertility as they age (like menopause). Instead, changes occur gradually during a process that some people call andropause. Aging changes in the male reproductive system occur primarily in the testes. Testicular tissue mass decreases and the level of the male sex hormone testosterone stays the same or decreases very slightly. There may be problems with erectile function. However, this is a general slowing, … Read more »
