Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms of hormonal imbalance during andropause.  Defined as an overall tired feeling or constant lack of energy throughout the day, many men consider fatigue a normal result of aging, yet fatigue is not a function of age.

Fatigue is caused by a variety of symptoms catalyzed by hormonal imbalance including:

• Stress
• Insomnia
• Depression
• Nutrition
• Physical activity

Depriving you of the energy you need to fulfill your daily demands, Fatigue is a constant strain as you try to balance and enjoy your life.

The Role of Hormones

Fatigue is an immediate result of the symptoms caused by the hormonal imbalance in the sex hormones: testosterone.  Low testosterone levels during andropause can cause insomnia,  and mood swings, which cause exhaustion or fatigue.  In addition, insufficient levels of testosterone is connected to fatigue and can decrease sex drive, which can induce depression and apathy.

Alternative Treatment:  Fatigue

Bioidentical hormone therapy has been identified by doctor as a natural solution for rebalancing your hormone levels, increasing your energy levels and relieving the affects of fatigue.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) with natural hormones provides a gentle, safe and effective way to restore hormonal balance, relieving many of the symptoms associated with aging and resulting in the recovery of youth and vitality.  Unlike the synthetic hormones, which are produced from plant progesterone or pregnant horse urine estrogens and have been found to have long-term negative effects on men's health, bioidentical hormones are exact replicas of the hormones produced by our bodies naturally.  Based on compounds found in nature, typically soy beans and wild Mexican yams, bioidentical testosterone is recognized by the body as its own.

Diet, exercise, and proper nutritional supplementation can also play an important role in increasing your energy level, relieving fatigue and improving overall health and prevention.
