How is andropause treated?
Andropause is treated by replacing the male hormones that are now low. And that usually means giving testosterone supplementation. This can be done through a shot of testosterone on a monthly basis. It can be done through a patch that goes on the skin. It can be done through creams or jells that are applied to the hands. It’s important for men to know that if they want to have children in the future, they can’t take testosterone on a long term basis because it will lower their sperm counts. For those men, there are other ways of increasing testosterone. There are taking shots of the precursor to testosterone, HCG. And that causes the testicle to make more testosterone. There are also other ways of doing this using pills, although those are not really great for long term treatment of this problem.
