MEN’S HEALTH
The gradual loss of hormones, particularly testosterone, as men get older, can lead to hormone imbalance and related uncomfortable symptoms that affect their quality of life and can increase the risk of serious disease. Hormone imbalances can be corrected with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for men, and related symptoms such as weight gain and erectile dysfunction too can be remedied.
