Restoration of Male Health at Expert Clinics with an Individualized Anti-Aging Treatment Program.
Not only the female body but also the male body is subject to age-related changes in hormonal balance. In men, the testosterone level begins to decline after the age of 30. By 40 years of age, many note signs of sex hormone deficiency. Hormonal changes affect physical and mental condition as well as sexual activity. This is how the male climacteric begins.
Male climacteric: what is it?
The climacteric is considered a female diagnosis that unites various symptoms appearing before and after the onset of menopause. But it occurs in men as well. The male climacteric (andropause, age-related androgen deficiency) occurs due to a decline in the level of male sex hormones (androgens) as a result of aging. The principal one is testosterone. It influences the function of the reproductive organs: epididymides, prostate gland, seminal vesicles, penis, and others. It activates fat burning, promotes protein synthesis, and lowers cholesterol levels. This hormone is responsible for sexual desire and erection. When the testosterone level decreases, all these functions are impaired.
Changes in the hormonal background cause a number of health problems. Arterial blood pressure increases, concentration worsens, and efficiency declines. And most unpleasantly, potency decreases, erection is impaired, the prostate gland enlarges, and urinary problems appear.
In addition to physical changes, psychological changes also occur. As a man ages, he loses leadership qualities—he becomes fearful and insecure, his capacity for concentration and intuition deteriorates, and he makes decisions more slowly—as a result, a sense of despondency and depression may arise.
Compared with women, men have a reduced potential for organ regeneration, since they are not required to carry and bear children; therefore, their body does not possess such a margin of safety. And here lies the risk of losing precious time. To eliminate unpleasant symptoms and prevent the development of dangerous complications, it is important to diagnose the onset of andropause in a timely manner and begin treatment, which is managed by an andrologist.
Main symptoms of the male climacteric
Women enter menopause at approximately 45–55 years of age, and the changes are immediately noticeable. In men, the decline in sex hormone production occurs gradually and more slowly, and the age range is individual. “Andropause in men can begin at 40 or at 55 years. Some complain of reduced testosterone production and symptoms of the male climacteric even at 30. But changes usually occur at the age of 50, and this process is prolonged over time.” Stanislav Nesterovich, urologist, physician in anti-aging medicine.
The timing of andropause is determined by heredity, constitution, and other factors.
The main symptoms of andropause:
Manifestations may include:
• apathy, a desire to lie on the couch for days,
• sleep disturbance,
• problems with erection, sexual desire disorder,
• ejaculation that is excessively prolonged or too brief,
• worsening vision,
• decreased strength and muscle mass,
• lethargy, general malaise, discomfort in the muscles,
• memory and concentration problems,
• increased adipose tissue, especially in the abdominal area,
• conflict proneness, irritability.
Testosterone deficiency affects all body systems. Therefore, manifestations of the male climacteric can be very diverse.
Types and forms of the male climacteric
There are two forms of androgen deficiency:
• Relative — within values normal for one’s age.
• Absolute — testosterone concentration falls to 2.48 ng/mL and below in patients up to 50 years old. After 50, the threshold decreases to 1.93 ng/mL. The cause may be pathology.
Early androgen deficiency (before 45 years), typical (45–60 years), and late (in men over 60 years) are distinguished.
By predominant symptoms, 4 types of male hormone deficiency are identified:
• with cardiovascular disorders: high blood pressure, tachycardia (risk of myocardial infarction, stroke),
• with endocrine disturbances (leading to diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, obesity),
• with psychoneurological disorders: impaired memory, concentration, and emotional control (risk of developing depression),
• with genitourinary disorders: sexual dysfunction, absence of libido, weak or frequent urination.
Causes of andropause
With age, the body produces less testosterone, and this occurs for natural reasons. This process is accelerated by certain lifestyles and a number of other causes:
• Use of hypnotics, glucocorticoids, neuroleptics, antidepressants that suppress testosterone synthesis.
• Testicular pathology, primarily inflammatory diseases. Inflammation reduces the ability of cells to produce testosterone.
• Chronic diseases. The presence of hypertension and diabetes mellitus reduces testosterone levels by 10% and accelerates the onset of the climacteric.
• Stressful situations. They stimulate cortisol production, for which the same substrates are needed as for testosterone synthesis. Therefore, the androgen level falls.
Prognosis and prevention
Age-related androgen deficiency is a natural and unstoppable process. But if you consult a specialist in a timely manner, follow his recommendations, and monitor your health, the symptoms will cease to cause discomfort. In some men, sexual function is preserved even at 70 years of age.
Preventive measures:
• balanced nutrition,
• moderate and regular physical activity,
• timely treatment of diseases,
• cessation of tobacco use and avoidance of alcohol abuse,
• stress reduction,
• normalization of daily routine, adequate rest and sleep.
All these measures help not only to reduce the manifestations of andropause but also to prevent the development of cardiovascular and other diseases. In addition, it has been proven that symptom severity decreases if a man has a regular sexual life.
It is important to monitor one’s health and undergo regular examinations to identify problems in a timely manner. Therapy will help improve quality of life and preserve sexual function.
If treatment is neglected, complications may arise: metabolic disorders, osteoporosis, depression, and others.
Diagnostics at Expert Clinics in Moscow
The male health restoration program begins with thorough diagnostics and addressing the problems the patient complains of: decreased libido and erectile function, depression or low mood.
The patient undergoes a complete medical examination. First of all, blood and urine tests for hormones are performed. This helps to understand how hormones are metabolized and to assess the state of hormonal function. LH, FSH, prolactin, testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, progesterone and estradiol, thyroid and adrenal hormones, as well as their metabolites—often even more active—are evaluated.
Other processes assessed:
• Detoxification, phase I and phase II. This helps to determine where the “breakdown” occurred and which substances and why are not being eliminated.
• The condition and metabolic activity of adipose tissue, which are very important for maintaining overall health and, in particular, the cardiovascular system.
• The volume of muscle mass. The muscular framework is of great importance for any man. Sports activities stimulate muscles to produce growth factors for tissue regeneration and repair. A decrease in muscle mass with its replacement by adipose tissue is an alarming sign. As a result, metabolism changes, aging accelerates, brain function worsens, apathy appears, and memory and vision deteriorate.
• Intestinal function—affects immunity, absorption of nutrients, and elimination of toxins. It is necessary to restore the disrupted microbiota.
Diagnostics at Expert Clinics also includes other tests: for the presence of toxins and heavy metals (they interfere with tissue regeneration and repair), for the condition of membrane walls (which determine the cells’ ability to receive beneficial substances).
Treatment regimen for the male climacteric at Expert Clinics
Based on diagnostics and taking into account the patient’s age and individual characteristics, an individualized treatment program is developed.
Treatment options:
• For older patients, hormone replacement therapy is indicated.
• For younger men, biostimulation and bioreparation of the body are more indicated to enhance endogenous testosterone production.
We prescribe low doses of medications so that endogenous production by the organs continues. Concurrent regenerative therapy makes it possible to reduce exogenous hormone administration. Gradually, hormonal drugs can be discontinued entirely—the body will learn self-regulation and will produce all the necessary substances on its own.
More about treatment using biomedicine
A major advantage of the anti-aging program for men is that it affects absolutely all tissues and organs, as well as foci of inflammation within them. Bioreparative medicine restores the body as a whole rather than considering each disease separately.
First of all, it is necessary to “unblock” the immune system, that is, to eliminate foci of chronic inflammation arising from infections and parasites, as well as accumulated slags and toxins. Especially in older men, so-called “chronic inflammatory processes without clinical manifestation” often occur—a persistent hidden inflammatory reaction and sensitization of the body.
Hidden sensitization may be a reaction to food products or other toxic components that have accumulated in the body. This also contributes to aging; therefore, Expert Clinics physicians also identify foods that cause hidden sensitization and recommend eliminating them from the diet.
Already at the detox stage, many patients feel a surge of strength, mood improvement, and general well-being; a sensation of lightness appears in the body, a number of diseases regress, and laboratory tests show an increase in hormone levels and improved intestinal absorption of nutrients. In addition, all gastrointestinal functions are restored, the liver is cleared of excess fat, peripheral blood circulation improves, and oxygen supply to the brain, endocrine glands, and other organs increases.
By balancing all body systems, the endocrine “factories” begin to produce more hormones, and aging processes slow down.
Equally important, cleansing the intestines reduces the load on the immune system, enabling it to exercise full control over malignant cells and other systems. Even if a certain number of cancer cells have accumulated in the body, the immune system will direct all its forces there and destroy them. In other words, the method of biological purification provides powerful anticancer protection.
An individualized treatment program involves a combination of various techniques:
• peptide therapy,
• detox programs,
• selection of individualized IV infusions,
• efferent methods of blood detoxification and plasma purification—plasmapheresis,
• biostimulators,
• injections at acupuncture points,
• various types of physiotherapeutic procedures.
Of course, in parallel, dietary adjustment recommendations are mandatory.
By leveling specific processes of hormone synthesis, metabolism, and detox phases, we help the body carry out an internal “general cleaning” on its own and restore endogenous hormone production.
We have adopted more than 30 years of experience from Swiss and French clinics in this field. Restorative medicine techniques allow postponing the need for hormone replacement therapy by 5–10 years, preserving for a long time the organs’ potential for repair and hormone production, and markedly prolonging youth, endurance, physical and sexual activity.
“Bioreparative medicine, of which I am a proponent, implies specially designed therapy programs aimed at correcting longstanding disturbances in the body. It should be noted that it is impossible to eliminate with a single pill in a couple of months all the breakdowns that have accumulated over years or decades; therefore, biomethods require patience from the patient. After completing the full therapy program, patients begin to realize the full importance and irreplaceability of anti-aging medicine. A comprehensive bioreparative approach is used for treatment, triggering powerful regeneration of all tissues, systems, and organs. This creates a large reserve for the future and becomes a guarantee of high quality of life and good well-being for many years.” Dorina Donich, Head of Expert Clinics.
