Is Male Hormone Replacement Therapy a Good Choice

A lot of people wonder if male hormone replacement therapy is a good choice. With increasing age after 40, men witness a potential decrease in the testosterone levels. There have been a lot of tests in recent times particularly because female hormone replacement therapy is associated with certain risks of heart disease. Although this has dented the popularity of the female hormone replacement therapy, many men still choose to go ahead with male hormone replacement.

Eventually this could become a very important choice to make. Discussion with an expert should also help for those men who are willing to take a small risk to ensure that their body gets the benefits of normal levels of testosterone. There are some risks involved in testosterone supplementation too, such as its possible relation to cancer of the prostate. Another important factor to consider is that the long term side effects of this form of therapy are not really known in complete detail. This is what makes the decision very dicey. At the same time, there are immense benefits of this therapy that cannot really be ruled out.

Testosterone is often associated with keeping up the bone mineral density in the body. Testosterone can not only ensure that one can avoid osteoporosis to certain extent by keeping the mineral density of the bones high but also maintain a reasonable level of virility. It has been seen that lower levels of testosterone could lead to increased risk of heart strokes, diabetes or even death. Considering these factors replacement of hormones seems to be a very wise choice to make, although with a note of caution. In fact, the risk of death in case of men who have lower levels of testosterone is twice that of many other factors, leaving the choice in balance. Consultation with experts seems to be a good choice, before either course of action is chosen.
