Testosterone replacement therapy, the “hot new thing” for men, is neither hot nor new. Testosterone was discovered in the 1920s and has been given to men since the 1930s. Over the last 80 years, many studies have demonstrated testosterone’s safety and effectiveness.
According to the National Institutes of Health, low testosterone affects approximately 14 million men, almost half of whom are as young as 45 years old.
If you’ve been suffering from fatigue, weight gain, difficulty sleeping, decreased sex drive, or other symptoms of low testosterone, visit Dr. Fein at the North Dallas Wellness Center. He will help identify the cause and regulate the level of testosterone in your body.
What Causes Low Testosterone?
As part of the natural aging process, many men experience a decrease in their testosterone levels beginning around age 30.
By the age of 50, natural testosterone production has often dropped to about half of early adult levels. This drop in hormones is completely natural and normal for most men but comes with a wide range of unwanted symptoms and side effects. Clinical studies have proven that those who do not treat their low testosterone levels may increase their risk for heart attacks, adult-onset diabetes, osteoporosis, weight gain, and more.
