Andropause = Low Testosterone Syndrome

The Millennium Health Centers, Inc.

Andropause now the "Low Testosterone Syndrome"

Do you have Andropause?

(The Low Testosterone Syndrome)

When you come to the office we will run some specific laboratory tests to assess your Testosterone levels ( Total, Free, and DH Testosterone). If you are found to be deficient then we will discuss your options for treatment; i.e., AndroGel, HCG, Clomid, Testosterone Cypionate.

We will teach you how to self-inject with an appropriate amount of a proprietary blend of two types of testosterone. Dr. Eugene Shippen, a founding physicians in the area of modern testosterone replacement therapies, has shown us that small needles can be used to deliver our testosterone product making the procedure nearly painless. It is also convenient since you will not have to come to the office but instead provide safe and effective treatment in the privacy of your home. Consider the yearly cost of this injectable form of testosterone being less than $250.00 compared to over $2,500.00 for gels and creams.

Warning: Testosterone Replacement Clinics

The number of Testosterone replacement clinics (Male Clinics) that have recently opened is impressive. The credentials of the physicians are also impressive. The one unimpressive factor is that many of the patients are being placed on excessive leveles (supraphysiological) of Testosterone. This is evident by the fact that the patient was placed on an estrogen blocker ( Anastrozole) due to the high conversion rate associated with high testosterone. Not everyone needs 100mg, 200mg, or even 300mg a week. The Millennium has never need to use an estrogen blocker since our dosing protocols are all based upon prior human studies showing the benefits on a low dose regimen. The Millennium has over 17 years experience in treating not only Testosterone deficiency but excess, and side-effects of Fenasteride and Durasteride. Lawsuites

When you make that decision to to be evaluated for the Low Testosterone Syndrome, know that we have the experience and also, a flexibility in treatment programs that comes only from years of experience. Most new physicians are limited in using a topical preparation while we offer 4 different delivery modalities to match your life style and preferences. Not everyone responds best to topical products. When we use injectable Testosterone, we never have needed additional medications to counter the side-effects. Why? We know how to do it right! When you are ready, call the office and I will set aside time to talk with you over the phone. Looking forward to that time..

Low Testosterone Syndrome

It is now generally agreed that male aging is associated with a slow and progressive decrease in serum T concentrations. The decreases in serum T may be accompanied by a constellation of symptoms including sexual dysfunction, lack of energy, loss of muscle and bone mass, increased frailty, loss of balance,cognitive impairment, and decreased general well being;a condition termed "andropause"; or androgen deficiency of aging. Some of these clinical symptoms are relieved by replacement therapy with intramuscular T injections or transdermal T applications.

Short-term studies have reported that T replacement resulted in variable improvement in sexual function, muscle and bone mass, and quality of life in older men . In a placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial, a transdermal T patch administered for 3 yr decreased body fat and increased lean body mass but failed to demonstrate significant changes in muscle strength or bone mass. This study has been criticized by some for its design limitations, including its inclusion of men with T levels within the normal range for young healthy men. Nevertheless,the authors provided further analyses demonstrating that bone mass was increased in men with the lower serum T levels and lower pretreatment bone mineral density.

In these studies, serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) concentrations and clinical evidence of prostate disease were not different between the placebo- and T-treated groups. In aging men, the benefits of androgen replacement must be weighed against the potential risks.

The important question of whether chronic T replacement in aging men with partial androgen deficiency will induce prostate cancer or promote conversion of histological to clinically evident prostate cancer remains unanswered. The clinical trials conducted, to date, have insufficient power to address this question. by Dr. Ronald Swerdloff
