Common Hormonal Imbalance Shots for Men

By Dr. Lisa Maturo, Naturopathic Thyroid Doctor Phoenix

It is a mistake to believe that hormone balancing shots are only for women. Men also experience a gradual reduction in the rate of hormone creation which is typically known as the andropause or ‘male menopause’. Lack of testosterone is the main issue and the existence of this issue can be seen through symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, gynecomastia, hot flashes, night sweats, depression, hair loss, and more. Hormonal imbalance shots for men are becoming more widespread and common.

Popular Hormone Supplements

DHEA is the most abundant circling hormone in the body, but its rate of production falls dramatically once we turn 25. By the time we reach 70, our rate of DHEA production has dropped by around 80% and this leads to a host of hormonal imbalances with sufferers being forced to deal with many of the symptoms mentioned above. Various studies have shown that DHEA injections can reduce the effects of aging and increase longevity, plus quality of life. Experts suggest that men need 50 mg of DHEA per day to enjoy the same levels of the hormone as when they were 25.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)

The biggest issue facing men as they get older is a lack of testosterone. This hormone is responsible for everything related to a male, from sexual and reproductive functions to muscle skeletal functions. A lack of testosterone can be seen in symptoms, such as erectile dysfunction, bad skin condition, loss of muscle tissue, loss of hair, and loss of memory. With BHRT, men will find that Andropause symptoms, like the above, will be prevented and patients enjoy a greater level of confidence as they feel young and virile once more.

BHRT is superior to synthetic hormones because it uses the same chemical structure as hormones naturally produced in the human body. Unlike synthetic hormones, BHRT does not cause side effects and the results of the treatment are noticeable soon after. It is important for men considering BHRT to have their existing hormone levels tested as this is an individual form of therapy. Being injected with too many hormones can cause hormonal imbalance and unpleasant side effects.

There are other forms of hormonal imbalance in men that can lead to illness. For example, adrenal fatigue occurs when chronic stress leads to extremely low cortisol levels. An underactive thyroid can lead to hypothyroidism while an overactive thyroid gland can result in hyperthyroidism. Regardless of the form of hormonal imbalance, it is important for you to see a physician if you suffer from any of the symptoms we have outlined above, so you can discover if a hormonal imbalance is the culprit.
