Male Hair Loss
Male hair loss can actually be slowed down, halted or prevented by treating the symptoms of andropause. Andropose is the male version of the female menopause – a diminishing of hormone output in the body sometime between the ages of 40 and 55. The symptoms are different for men than for women, but the cause is the same.
Although testosterone is the most prevalent and well-known male hormone, there are others. As a group these male hormones are responsible for male characteristics – and they are called androgens. In females, reproductive organs shut down during menopause. That is not the case in males where reproductive organs can continue to operate into old age. But still, as a man ages, the glands supply a smaller amount of hormones.
Can anything be done about these symptoms of age? Lessening of muscle mass and strength, loss of sex drive, less restful sleep, anxiety, sluggishness, and a pot belly can also be symptoms of andropause in addition to hair loss. Are these symptoms unavoidable? In this article we will discuss what can be done.
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.
The amount of hormones lost may not be the same in every person – different ages and physiques and diets affect hormone loss. To determine the exact amount of which hormones to replace, one needs medical testing.
Extensive testing and determination of the dwindling supply of hormones in the body, and replacement in the exact amounts needed to return the body to a youthful level or hormones can work seeming miracles for men in middle and old age. Expect symptoms to slow down or even disappear. End hair loss, gain more energy and interest in life, re-invigorate libido, and even sleep better!
There are thousands of men who have benefited from hormone replacement therapy with no side effects. It is a natural way to slow the aging process and bring new vigor to a sluggish lifestyle. There’s no reason to mope because you reached middle age – do something about it!
