There are several treatment options available for andropause. These include lifestyle modifications, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and prescription medications. Lifestyle modifications include eating healthy foods, exercising regularly, and getting enough sleep.
What is the best treatment of andropause?
Replacing testosterone in the blood is the most common treatment for men going through andropause, but the risks and benefits of doing this should be considered before starting therapy. This treatment may provide relief from the symptoms and help improve the quality of life in many cases.
At JKM clinic we check testosterone level and related blood checks to provide the optimum treatment doses to our patients.
