Male Hormone Imbalance Symptoms
Many times, people associate hormonal challenges with women for things like menopause. However, hormone imbalances show up in many forms for both men and women (including those assigned male or female at birth).
Testosterone is a hormone that the testicles produce. Some of the common signs of hormone imbalance in men include:
- A drastic drop in libido
- Difficulty achieving and maintaining an erection
- Balding or hair loss throughout the body and face
- Persistent fatigue, even with regular sleep
- An increase in body fat or enlarged breast tissues
- A loss of bone volume, i.e., osteoporosis
- Mood changes and memory decline
- Symptoms of anemia, like dizziness, rapid heart rate, etc.
- Disproportionately smaller testicle and penis
Causes of Male Hormone Imbalance
Testosterone Pellets Vs. Testosterone Injections
Testosterone Injections for Men
Testosterone injections are fast-acting, which makes it easier to monitor and adjust the dosage you receive. They are proven effective and work the same way that your body’s natural testosterone does.
However, because the body absorbs them quicker, testosterone injections can bring mood swings, anxiety, and other potential symptoms.
Testosterone Pellets for Men
Testosterone pellets, on the other hand, dissolve over several months. This releases a steady stream of testosterone that patients often report helps balance their mental clarity. Since the body isn’t undergoing peaks and valleys of testosterone, it can make the most of the hormone for energy boosts.
FAQs: Hormone Balancing for Men
How Low Does Testosterone Have to Be for Treatment?
There are two ways of measuring testosterone, one of which is based on age-related hormone imbalance, and the other is late-onset hypogonadism (LOH). LOH means there are three sexual symptoms along with low T, and it is a way for specialists to measure hormone levels for potential TRT.
The threshold for testosterone levels that may benefit from hormone-balancing therapy is <300 ng/dL, along with symptoms such as decreased morning erections, ED, and less frequent sexual thoughts.
Is It Better to Take Testosterone Shots Weekly or Biweekly?
We hear this question frequently since biweekly injections mean fewer shots overall. But, spreading out the injections can lead to more fluctuations in levels of testosterone. This brings potentially uncomfortable side effects, which is why we recommend weekly testosterone shots that balance out better.
How Long Do Men Stay on Testosterone Therapy?
You can continue using TRT for as long as you feel comfortable and are enjoying the benefits of treatment. A two-year study on men has shown positive outcomes from long-term hormone replacement.
The length of your treatment plan also depends on which type of TRT you choose since pellets are slow to dissolve and injections act fast.
What Are the Permanent Effects of Testosterone Therapy?
Over time, consistently taking testosterone boosts facial and body hair growth. You can anticipate thicker, darker hair.
Another effect that won’t go away after taking testosterone is voice deepening. The sound, or pitch, of your voice, will become lower. Many patients also see improvements in their body composition and bone density.
