Men are affected by hormonal imbalances, just as women are. A recent World Health Organization (WHO) report, states that “male androgens (sex hormones) progressively decline with age.” The study tested androgen levels at age 25 and by age 70, androgen levels were only 10 percent of what they were during youth.

The impact of decreasing androgens is known as andropause, also called "male menopause". It usually begins in the fourth & fifth decades and point towards hormone imbalances and deficiencies. Andropause, just like menopause, is a normal part of aging. For some men, it is accompanied by a gradual and undesired decline in their sexuality, mood and overall energy. Sometimes it can even expose men to more serious health risks.

Some of the progressive age-related changes that men can experience include:

• Decreased muscle mass & strength
• Decreased vigor, low energy
• Decreased sex drive
• Insomnia
• Nervousness
• Depression
• Hair loss

The Male Hormone Panel is designed to provide an accurate assessment of male sex hormones (androgens) along with the naturally occurring estrogen, progesterone levels in the men of all ages. The reasons for doing this test would vary depending on the age of the man.

The Male Hormone Panel is for:

1. Middle aged man and having:

• Low sex drive
• Erectile dysfunction
• Baldness and/or extremity hair thinning
• Fat accumulation around the waist
• Urinary symptoms: pain and/or frequency; urgency; interrupted stream
• Change in sleeping habits

• Increase in bad cholesterol, decrease in good cholesterol
• Your doctor tells you that you have osteoporosis

2. Young man and having:

• Low sex drive
• Erectile dysfunction
• Early baldness
• Inability to lose weight

After assessing the results of the male hormone panel, our patients are provided with a customized treatment invention that will focus on balancing the hormone, preventing diseases related to hormone deficiency or excess and degenerative aging.
