Why do men need hormone therapy?
Testosterone levels begin to decline in men beginning in their early 30s. Most men maintain adequate levels of testosterone into their mid 40s to mid 50s, some into their late 70s to early 80s. Men should be tested when they begin to show signs of testosterone deficiency. Even men in their 30s can be testosterone deficient and show signs of bone loss, fatigue, depression, erectile dysfunction, difficulty sleeping and mental decline. This is a sign of andropause, or male menopause. Most men need to be tested around 50 years of age. It is never too late to benefit from hormone therapy.
