In the words attributed to playwright George Bernard Shaw,\u201d Youth is wasted on the young.\u201d As we\u2019ve gotten older, how many of us have felt the same way? Our aches have pains and our pains have aches. We don\u2019t have the same vim, vigor, or get-up-and-go that we did when we were too young to appreciate it. We attribute it solely to aging, but some of those unexpected changes can be attributable to hormonal fluctuations, too. Changes in the hormones that relate to gender\/sexual function are a reality that leave us longing for the days of yore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most of us know that estrogen and progesterone are related to female sex characteristics while testosterone is related to male sex characteristics. Information about menopause is available for women who seek it out from their doctors, friends, or other sources. Men are less likely to seek out information about changes in testosterone levels, though, because they feel embarrassed or stigmatized by doing so. They shouldn\u2019t. Low testosterone is extremely common and has a variety of causes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
