What is Andropause?
Like aging itself, andropause is a common progression in the lives of most men ~ but it's treatable.....
Are we talking about aging and/or stopping it? No, stopping aging has not been done, and frankly it's what makes life interesting! However, with Andropause therapy, we provide the possiblilty of renewing vitality through balance!
Recent research has identified a number of common emotional and physical symptoms experieinced by men as they progress through the aging process. The term "Andropause" is synonymous with "Male Menopause", and it defines the progress where male's fall victim to decreasing testosterone and increasing levels of estrogen. The effects of Andropause which can be numerous, include heart disease, mood changes, depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, osteoporosis, impotence, decreased libido, decreased muscle mass and strength and stamina. These effects occur over a number of years (varying with each individual) starting around the age of 40.
Getting Balance Back Into Your Life
For men, suffering the symptoms of Andropause, past treatment has consisted of supplemental testosterone typically administered via an injection. Sound like fun? Not in my book!
Today, with the resurgence of Compounding Phamacies, there are new, less intrusive methods for treating Andropause and returning the balance to your life that you remember. We describe various dosage forms and strength variations in the paragraph's below, but in summary Compounding Pharmacies make the treatment of Andropause as easy as rubbing a small bit of ointment on your arm. the results (which, of course, vary with each individual) include potentially increased stamina and ability to build/retain muscle mass. An increased libido and a lesser chance of suffering from impotence. The treatments also improve men's ability to ward off heart disease, anxiety and depression. The end goal is the possiblity of returning to the self you knew in your early 30's. Vital, strong, and happy, those are the goals. Read on for the methods for helping you attain them.
Unique Dosage Forms
Ever seen two men that were exactly the same? (Height, weight, strength, age, physique, etc). Not likely. Just as people are completely unique, so should their medication and it's application. Historically, testosterone was administered via an injection. The injections are not always the best form of administering hormone replacement. With the solutions available through the Compounding Pharmacy we are happy to provide a much less intrusive way of administering testosterone replacement, topically; via creams, lotions or gels that are applied directly to the skin. Additionally, we offer other non-intrusive forms of dosing such as flavored lozenges, which dissolve in your mouth (and we have over 100 flavors to choose from).
For Andropause testing (through blood or saliva) contact our Pharmacist or your Physician. Once the results return our Pharmacist and your Physician work together to provide the custom testosterone replacement required by you, in a dosage form that is best suited for you.
Strength Variations
We've talked about how different each man is, their size, weight, age, etc. Do you believe each man would take the same prescription for testosterone replacement? I hope you chose to answer no to that question. We know that supplementation of the basic natural hormone testosterone has shown to be an effective treatment for most men exhibiting the symptoms of Andropause. And we kknow that no two men are the same. The amount of testosterone needed to treat the symptoms in a 250 lb man, as compared to the amount required to treat a 150 lb man is uniquely different.
This is where the real value of the Compounding Pharmacy is brougt to light. Working with you and your Physician our Pharmacist has the ability and means necessary to customize a therapy that is fit to your individual body and hormone levels. The results of this customized therapy is a return to a more natural hormone balance and a healthier way of life.
"While growing older is inevitable, the effects of Andropause can be addressed. Ask our Pharmacist or your Physician how customized natural hormone therapy can help you return to a fuller, healthier lifestyle!"
