Hormonal Imbalances in Men: Symptoms and Solutions

Hormones can be thought of as little messengers that coordinate bodily functions by traveling throughout the body’s bloodstream to its organs, muscles, and tissue. When hormonal imbalances occur, it can create a plethora of problems throughout the body. While many people are familiar with hormonal imbalances in women due to menopause, fewer are aware of the imbalances that occur in men. Unfortunately, leaving hormonal imbalances untreated can greatly impact your overall quality of life.

Understanding Hormonal Imbalances in Men

While the broad term of hormonal imbalance can cover a wide spectrum of hormones produced throughout the body, the most commonly referred to hormone when it comes to males is testosterone. When the regular production of testosterone is minimized, it can lead to a slew of symptoms. Some of the most commonly experienced include:

  • Mood Changes
  • Fatigue
  • Weight Gain
  • Reduced Sexual Libido
  • Hair Thinning or Baldness
  • Reduced Muscle Tone

There are many different causes of hormonal imbalance in your body. Some of these causes are natural, like aging. Others are a result of your lifestyle or medical conditions. Some of the most widely known causes of male hormonal imbalance include the following:

  • Chronic Stress
  • Medications
  • Trauma and Injuries
  • Hormone Therapy
  • Eating Disorders
  • Tumors
  • Restrictive Diets

The Impact of Hormonal Imbalances

Because hormonal imbalance is linked with so many different symptoms, this condition can cause immense emotional and physical challenges for men. When it comes to personal relationships, the lack of sexual libido can hinder your intimacy, and mood changes can make day-to-day conversations challenging. On a more physical level, symptoms like hair thinning, muscle tone reduction, and weight gain can all take a toll on your self-confidence. Even being fatigued can make getting through your normal workday a struggle.

Hormone Pellet Therapy: A Modern Solution

One of the most effective treatments for handling hormonal imbalance is known as bioidentical hormone replacement therapy or BHRT for short. BHRT testosterone pellets are essentially processed testosterone hormones derived from plants. They’re introduced to the body to mimic your glands’ normal testosterone. BHRT simply makes up for the reduction in testosterone due to hormonal imbalance. Probably one of the biggest advantages of using hormone pellet therapy over traditional methods is how long the treatment lasts. With traditional treatments, patients had to take hormones every day to help level off their imbalance. With hormone pellet therapy, a small pellet is placed under the skin. The body draws the necessary hormones from the pellet as it needs. Most men find that their hormone pellets last between four and six months. Who Can Benefit from Hormone Pellet Therapy? Good candidates for hormone pellet therapy have sought help from their medical provider about the symptoms that they’re experiencing as a result of hormonal imbalance. The medical professional has verified this imbalance to be the result of aging or a medical condition. Lifestyle Changes and Supportive Practices Apart from receiving hormone pellet therapy, there are some necessary lifestyle changes and supportive practices that you can utilize to help level out your bodily hormones.  First and foremost is regular exercise. Exercise enhances blood flow to the muscles and increases hormone receptor sensitivity. When this sensitivity is increased, both hormone signals and nutrients are delivered more effectively throughout the body. When it comes to your mental health, hormonal imbalances can have a negative effect. Practicing strategies like deep breathing and talk therapy can be great ways to help alleviate stress associated with hormonal imbalance.
