TV ads tout testosterone treatments for "low T," but surprising new research shows a different hormone might play a role in less sex drive and more fat as men age. Estrogen the female hormone is needed by men, too, and the study gives the first clear evidence that too little of it can cause certain "male menopause" symptoms. "A lot of things we think are due to testosterone deficiency are actually related to the estrogen deficiency that accompanies it," said Dr. Joel Finkelstein of Massachusetts General Hospital. He led the U.S.-government funded study, which appears Thursday in the New England Journal of Medicine. Testosterone is the main male sex hormone. Men's bodies convert some of it into estrogen, and levels of both decline with age. Until now, there was no way to tell which hormone was responsible for complaints of diminished libido, strength and energy. Millions of men have been prescribed testosterone gel, patches or shots for these problems, but it's not known how much they need or whether this hormone replacement therapy is good, bad or neutral, Finkelstein said. Doctors don't usually prescribe estrogen to men. The way to remedy low estrogen is to give them testosterone and let … Continue reading →

As a physician, I am often reminded that life indeed is a question of timing. When to intervene and when not to intervene is a common dilemma when dealing with the human body. On a scientific level, the question can be posed constantly. When is the right time to prevent a disease. As human beings continue to evolve and as medicine continues to advance I believe this question will become ever more prevalent in our health care paradigm. When faced with the treatment disease we much continuously ask when is the point of no return and when is the turning point. Such is indeed the case with many of lifes natural aging processes. Remember not all bodily malfunctions are diseases. Sometimes the body just ages as a natural function of the process itself. And by this, I mean menopause. The issue comes down, again to one of timing. A volume of population data shows that a womans risk of cardiovascular disease begins to rise after she goes through menopause. This epidemiological data prompted a variety of theories on the cardio protective effects of estrogen and progesterone. Hormone replacement therapy Hormone replacement therapy made its therapeutic debut in the 1960s for … Continue reading →

Palm Beach, Florida (PRWEB) September 09, 2013 Clinics have been popping up everywhere and private-physician practices suddenly take pride in their hormone-therapy expertise. Be smarter and get the right information! Dr. Berman a leading physician and founder of the Testosterone149 Program has been practicing Hormone Replacement Therapy for over 15 years. Originally trained in urology and surgery, Dr. Berman is a true expert when it comes to Hormone Replacement Therapy. His thorough knowledge in this specialty stems from extensive research and fellowship programs, as well as from years of specializing in Hormone Correction. The Testosterone149 Program was designed for the 'Aging Male,' a term that encompasses men over the age of 40 who experience symptoms of Erectile Dysfunction, Depression, Irritability, Excessive Weight Gain and Sleepless Nights. These are our patients and are the ideal candidates for our program," explains Dr. Berman. "Not the 32-year-old calling our offices claiming they would like to work out harder and look better at the gym." Essentially, the younger the man, the more scrutinizing the lab profile workup should be, says Dr. Berman, claiming that a healthy 40-year-old should not suffer from low Testosterone. But if that is the case, it may be due to … Continue reading →

Anna Anthropy shows off her new game, now in production, D5phoria, in her Oakland home. Video games go to alien worlds all the time, but rarely have they explored a transgender person's identity until Dys4ia. The 2012 Adobe Flash game traced designer Anna Anthropy's hormone replacement therapy journey, guiding the player through trying on women's clothing for the first time, dealing with the agony of shaving, and correcting all the people who call you "sir" instead of "ma'am." Anthropy was kind enough to let the Guardian interview her in her Oakland home, dodge her energetic cats, and record an audio interview where she walks us through her new game, Dy5phoria, the new chapter and pseudo-sequel to Dys4ia. You can also read a selection from the audio interview below. SF Bay GuardianHow do you pronounce the new title?
