Hormone decline - Vitality Hormone Clinic

What is hormone decline?

Hormone levels naturally decline as we age. This occurs in both men and women, leading to symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and loss of sex drive. Understanding the causes and impacts of hormonal imbalance can help you take steps to feel your best.

Key things to know

• Perimenopause starts for women around age 40. Levels of estrogen and progesterone start fluctuating and dropping. This leads up to menopause around age 50.
• Andropause, or male menopause, causes testosterone levels to slowly fall in men after age 30. Symptoms are often worse after age 50.
• Lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, and stress impact hormone balance too. Making healthy changes can lessen the effects for many people.

Impacts of hormone decline

When our bodies make less estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and other hormones, we may experience:

• Hot flashes, night sweats
• Weight gain, slowed metabolism
• Loss of muscle mass
• Lower sex drive, erectile dysfunction
• Fatigue, irritability, trouble concentrating
• Thinning hair, skin changes

The good news? Treatment options can effectively relieve short-term symptoms and protect long-term health.
