Hormone Therapy for Men over 50
The idea of old age is completely subjective. One person’s 60 is another person’s 30. The reality is that thanks to medical advancements and the ability to spend more time working inside and in comfort, and less time putting your body through hard labor, life expectancy rates have been continuously on the rise. This isn’t anything new to hear about, but what is becoming increasingly more common is the ability for so many people to actually enjoy these later years without the burden of excessive fatigue and major health problems.
The secret to anti-aging success is preventative health care. Working with an anti-aging expert and medical weight loss doctor to take full control of your weight, to improve your diet, to become more active and to prevent the early signs of aging is your best bet in setting yourself up for a long and healthy retirement.
Hormone replacement therapy has long been looked at as a medical tool to help women cope with the many uncomfortable symptoms of menopause, and the health concerns that typically arise after such a sharp hormone decline. For many men, the idea of hormone replacement therapy is still directly associated with women’s health care, but this just isn’t the case anymore. Many men are turning to hormone replacement therapy to manage testosterone levels at the first sign of testosterone decline, and for some men this begins as early as prior to the age of 40.
Benefits of hormone replacement therapy in men include:
- Enhanced ability to manage weight gain with age
- Improved libido and reduced risk of sexual dysfunction
- Increased energy levels and improved physical fitness
Whether or not hormone replacement therapy is the best choice for your medical needs is something that can only be determined by you and your doctor. However, too many men overlook the opportunity to do something about the rising discomfort that is associated with age.
50 is just the start of a new era in your life. Whether this is the time for you to embark on retirement, enjoy more time with your family, or begin a new hobby or two, there is no reason that you can’t make the second 50 years of your life just as youthful as the first.
