Hormone Therapy for Men
Hormones play a critical role in men’s health, influencing energy, strength, mood, metabolism, and sexual vitality. Beginning around age 40, a man’s testosterone levels gradually decline. For some, this change, often referred to as andropause, may contribute to noticeable symptoms that affect quality of life. At Las Colinas Pharmacy in Irving, TX, we specialize in customized hormone therapy for men, creating compounded solutions designed to help restore balance and support overall wellness.
Understanding Low Testosterone in Men
Testosterone belongs to a group of hormones called androgens. A decline in testosterone levels can be linked to health conditions such as:
- Metabolic syndrome
- Obesity
- Diabetes
- Hypertension
- Atherosclerosis
- Elevated cholesterol and triglycerides
- Cognitive decline
Low testosterone may also be associated with symptoms such as:
- Decreased sex drive and erectile dysfunction
- Reduced energy and vitality
- Depression or mood changes
- Loss of muscle mass and increased body fat
- Anemia or frailty
- Bone loss and osteoporosis
Personalized Hormone Therapy for Men
At Las Colinas Pharmacy, we work closely with providers to develop individualized treatment plans for men experiencing low testosterone or hormone imbalance. Therapy often begins with laboratory testing to evaluate hormone levels, followed by a prescription tailored to each patient’s needs.
Treatment options may include:
- Topical creams or gels – concentrated formulas applied to the skin for steady absorption
- Sublingual drops or lozenges – fast-absorbing alternatives that dissolve in the mouth
- Injectables
- Customized strengths and formulations – prepared to match your specific dosage requirements and the ability to add bonus active ingredients such as estrogen blockers or DHT inhibitors
Compounded preparations offer unique advantages, such as active ingredient combinations, smaller application volumes, cost-effectiveness, and the ability to use specialized dispensing devices, which may provide easier and more accurate dosing.
The Importance of Monitoring and Lifestyle
Hormone therapy is most effective when combined with healthy lifestyle habits such as regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and appropriate medical monitoring. At Las Colinas Pharmacy, we recommend ongoing evaluation of both lab results and symptoms to ensure therapy remains helpful and personalized to your changing needs.
