pixelslave -> Testoterone Replacement Therapery for Men (1/29/2008 6:20:29 AM)

An article was sent to me by a friend titled "Your Health: Testosterone Replacement Therapy May Improve Health and Happiness in Older Men".   The article discussed that middle aged men may experience a phenomenon called "andropause" which is equivalent to a woman going through menopause.  Here's a couple of quotes from the article which the Dommes may want to note in regard to their submissive males and middle aged men in general should take note of:
 
"In clinical studies, men treated with testosterone replacement therapy reported enhanced sexual function, better stress-handling capabilities and a greater sense of wellbeing. They exhibited greater strength and stamina as well as significant increases in lean muscle mass and bone density. "
 
And...
 
"In a study of more than 850 male veterans, researchers at the University of Washington in Seattle discovered that men with low levels of testosterone after age 40 had an 88 percent higher risk of death over a four-year period than those with normal levels of the hormone."
 
To me, those are pretty scary numbers and well worth having checked!  As an FYI, Testosterone containing treatments are now available in a variety of forms including gels, creams, patches and tablets instead of the injections or implanted pellets that were used in the past. 

Here's the complete link to the article http://www.arcamax.com/healthtips/s-290346-172323 which discussed the symptomology, along with the pros and cons of this kind of treatment (the cons primarily being related to enlarged prostate or risks of prostate cancer).  I found it to be an interesting article that was well worth the time to read, thus my reason for passing it on.

Look up Klinefelters Syndrome.  It will give you a lot more information. Essentially it is a genetic defect 1 in every 5 male babies are born with anymore.  An extra X chromosone.  Which basically means they never generate enough testosterone on their own. 
It is far worse than lean muscle mass and sexual function.

Memory issues, communication problems.  Trouble concentrating...bone density.  The list goes on and on...all strictly due to low testosterone.  Something that all men go through when they hit menopause.  Or andropause as you call it.

Yes i have heard alot about this sort of treatment.
Here in New Zealand there are adverts running for the "Mens Clinic" which is a group of doctors who specialize in mens problems be that physical or emotional.
One of the topics they discuss is erectile dysfunction and how quite often Hormone replacement treatment (testosterone) as an example can work wonders for this ailment as well as for depression and general well being.
Interesting post.

I once knew a man that wore testosterone patches. He looked about 20 years younger than his age and had great muscle tone without any exercise. They must have left out the componant that causes baldness though because his hair was as thick as mine.

Thanks Mal,
I've never had my testosterone levels tested, but just turned 50 in December.  As you well know, 50 is an age for men when numerous health issues begin to become of concern, particularly those related to the prostate.  The drive is there for me, so that's not an issue (yet) and I stay fit with exercise, although mood problems sometimes are an issue but could often be explained as having normal reactions to circumstances and other events.  But yet I sometimes wonder if those reactions aren't stronger than they need be, which could be explained in part by low low testosterone levels as I continue to age.

Reading the article I referenced at the beginning of this thread has simply given me reason to pause and wonder.  I so often see men in their 60's and 70's who seem to have lost their zest for life and have all but given up on their sex lives.  I don't want to become one of those men; put in storage so to speak, just waiting for the end.  I want to continue to enjoy an active and healthy life, preferably with a loving and playful Mistress who wants to share the golden years with me enjoying this lifestyle as we gracefully age together. [:D]
