Male Hair Loss
>> Thursday, September 29, 2011
Did you know that hair loss in males is a symptom of andropause? And what is andropause? Andropause is a diminishing of hormone output in various glands of men, and it occurs in the fourth and fifth decade of life. It could possibly be called male menopause, but some of the symptoms are different in men than in women.
The word andropause comes from the word androgen, which merely means any male hormones - such as testosterone - responsible for male characteristics. Although male reproductive organs do not shut down during middle age, as do female reproductive organs, the glands produce a gradually diminishing amount of hormones, as a man gets older.
Not only baldness is a symptom of andropause - decreased muscle mass and strength, loss of libido, insomnia, nervousness, depression, low energy and weight gain can be symptoms as well. So are these results of aging inevitable? What can be done about it? That is what we will explore in the following paragraphs.
When women begin to go through menopause, doctors often prescribe replacement hormones to combat symptoms. Replacement of hormones can be just as beneficial to men. This is called hormone replacement therapy. It is important to know how much of which hormones to replace - not just replacing testosterone - and it is important that the replacements be exactly the same as the hormones the body produces - bioidentical hormones.
Many hormones being sold as replacements are not the same as the ones in the body, notably estrogen made from pregnant horse urine. But if you put a bioidentical hormone in the body, the organs will recognize and use it.
One must go through medical tests to find out the specific dose of which specific hormones to replace. Differences in age, diet and other factors can affect hormone loss - so each individual is different.
The idea is to bring the dwindling hormones of the body up to the same level as a youthful body. Testing, evaluation and replacement of the hormones needed can make a big difference to a man who has been experiencing unwanted weight gain, lack of energy and interest in life, trouble sleeping and loss of hair. These things can slow, stop and even reverse. It's like being young again.
There are no side effects to this natural procedure that slows the aging process. Many thousands of people have experienced new life and vigor from hormone replacement therapy. There's no reason to age quickly - slow it down! Enjoy youth.
