Hormone Imbalance in Men: What Are They and How Are They Treated?

How Men Can Restore Hormonal Balance Naturally

Hormone imbalance symptoms can take a toll on a man’s life, but it does not have to be that way!

When you think of hormone issues, most people think of women. But did you know that men also suffer from hormone imbalances?

Hormones are the human body’s chemical messengers. They stimulate or regulate almost all of your bodily functions, from your stress level and metabolism to cognition and sexual function.

Two of the most important ones for men are testosterone and human growth hormone (HGH). Both of these are essential for men’s health, playing a role in:

Muscle strength and endurance
Sexual health, sex drive, and sexual function
Your ability to burn fat and lose excess weight
Sleep
Mood and cognition

However, as important as adequate hormone production is to a man’s overall physical performance and emotional well-being, your testosterone levels and HGH levels both decline as you age. This age-related hormone loss can lead to hormone imbalance. Hormone imbalance in men is treated with hormone replacement therapy.

Hormone Replacement Therapy for Men

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is the use of hormone replacement medications to make up for the symptoms of imbalanced hormone levels. As stated above for males the two most critical hormones are testosterone and HGH. Unfortunately, the levels of both of these hormones decrease as men age. This kind of age-related hormone imbalance in men negatively affects several crucial bodily functions. The impact of hormone imbalances in men include:

Fatigue
Loss of muscle mass
Lowered libido and other sexual wellness issues
Weight gain and decreased metabolism
Weakness
Less than adequate sleep
High blood pressure and other heart health issues
Moodiness, depression, and other emotional issues
Memory loss and other cognitive issues

Hormone regulation is essential to aging optimally. HRT can help return your bodily processes to peak efficiency. As the name implies, hormone replacement therapy is all about renewing vitality by giving you back what age takes away.

However, some men need HGH therapy, some need testosterone injections, and some need both. When it comes to fixing hormone imbalances in men, the type of HRT that is best for you will depend on your age, symptoms, and individual fitness goals.

What Are the Different Types of Hormone Replacement Therapy?

The most common types of hormone medications prescribed for men are testosterone and growth hormone therapy. Most patients who are suffering from age-related hormone imbalances will require a prescription for either testosterone replacement or growth hormone replacement. Often, HGH injections and testosterone are given together. This is because more often than not, if men are low in one, they are also deficient in the other. When given together, HGH injections and testosterone have a “synergistic effect," which means the benefits of one enhance the benefits of the other.

Testosterone Therapy for Men

Testosterone is the most important male sex hormone. Adequate testosterone production is critical to overall male health and well-being. However it is quite common for production of testosterone to slow with age. Therefore, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is one of the most common treatment options used to fix hormone imbalances in men. Men with low testosterone, also known as “Low-T,” will have the following common symptoms:

Low energy
Erectile dysfunction or other sexual health issues
Decline in muscle mass, even while working out
Weight gain
Extreme mood swings or increased aggression
Depression and anxiety
Lack of quality sleep
Brain fog, memory loss and other cognitive difficulties

The good news is that a decrease in testosterone levels is easily treated with TRT.

What Kind of Results Can I Expect from TRT?

Men who have been diagnosed with low testosterone and have been treated with TRT can expect remarkable results and reversal of many low-T related health conditions. After a six-month course of testosterone therapy, men can expect to achieve the following benefits:

Increased ability to build lean muscle mass
Weight loss and easier ability to maintain a healthy weight
Reduction of chronic stress
Increase energy levels, increase strength, and stamina
Reduction of erectile dysfunction symptoms, increased sex drive, improved sexual performance
Improved moods
Improved brain health and increased cognitive abilities

How Do I Get a Prescription for TRT?

You cannot, under any circumstances, legally obtain or use testosterone without a prescription. To get a prescription for testosterone, you will need to contact us, make and make an appointment to have the testosterone levels in your blood tested. If your hormone blood tests indicate that you have low testosterone, you will be given a prescription for testosterone and directed to our Products Page to purchase your testosterone injections. TRT can be given in other forms, such as topical gels or skin patches. However, our doctors have found that injections are the safest and most effective way to deliver TRT.

HGH Therapy for Men

Men who have low testosterone are almost always also deficient in human growth hormone.

HGH Therapy is used to treat men who are experiencing age-related growth hormone deficiency, a medical condition also known as "adult-onset growth hormone deficiency." Growth hormone is primarily responsible for the growth of bones and muscles, therefore, HGH is vitally important as children mature. However, adults still need HGH to continue to replace damaged cells, and to maintain good muscle mass and bone health. In men, like testosterone, HGH also plays a significant role in sexual function and cognitive acuity.

HGH therapy for male adults with growth hormone issues has been clinically proven to:
Enhance heart health and lower the risk of cardiovascular disease
Weight loss, reduction of insulin resistance
Improve bone density and help prevent osteoporosis
Raise metabolism and help you burn fat
Increase muscle mass and muscle strength
Improve mood
Improve sleep

Often, growth hormone therapy will be combined with testosterone therapy. Hormone replacement for men not only can help you fix hormone imbalances but also can put you back on a path to peak performance at any age.

What Are the “Before and After” Results of HGH Therapy

The “before and after” HGH results seen by our male HGH therapy patients have been nothing short of life-changing. Men who have completed HGH therapy with Kingsberg Medical will see vast improvements in their strength, stamina and ability to build muscle. They will sleep better than before they started, have fewer issues with low libido or erectile dysfunction, think more clearly and feel younger and more vital overall.

Getting a Prescription for HGH Therapy

Like TRT, growth hormone replacement therapy is only available with a doctor’s prescription. Once again, you will need to schedule specific hormone tests in order to get a prescription for HGH. If your tests and symptoms indicate that you are suffering from age-related growth hormone decline, you will be issued a prescription for HGH and be able to buy one of the top-quality brands of HGH we provide from our Products Page.

Is One Kind of HRT for Men Better Than Another?

When it comes to fixing hormone imbalances in men, we cannot categorically say which is better, HGH or testosterone. Your HRT program will be tailored to your medical history, physical exam, symptoms, fitness goals, and lifestyle. This is one of the main things that sets Kingsberg Medical apart from other providers of HRT for men. Unlike other facilities that take a "one size fits all" approach to fixing hormone imbalances in men, we pride ourselves on our personalized treatment plans.

We take a holistic approach to fixing hormone issues in males. We look at your complete hormone levels as well as behavioral and lifestyle issues to develop a customized HRT treatment plan that is as unique as you are.

How Can Men Tell If They Have a Hormone Imbalance?

Fluctuations in hormones can happen for a number of reasons with genetic, lifestyle and environmental factors all contributing to imbalances. However, in men, particularly men over 30 hormone fluctuations are almost always caused by age-related hormone loss.

If you are a man with a hormone imbalance that needs fixing, you will notice a decline in your physical, mental, and sexual performance. However, the only way to know if you need HRT and what kind is to have your hormone levels tested by qualified medical professionals. If your blood tests indicate that you are low in HGH and/or testosterone, you may be a candidate for HRT.
