Men's Health

Declining testosterone is an important men’s health issue, but many men simply accept the signs and symptoms of low testosterone as just another part of growing older. At Horseshoe Healthcare we offer personalized testosterone therapy in addition to BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia) or enlarged prostate symptom management and hair loss treatment to help men feel more comfortable in their own skin.

What is men’s health?

Men’s health is an area of medical practice focused on addressing the health issues common among males. Men and women have different health needs, and far too many men put those needs at the bottom of a long list of career, home and other obligations. 

Working with an experienced practitioner helps you get the screening, preventive health guidance and other health services needed to move through the phases of life with ease. Your practitioner reviews your personal and family health history and discusses the screenings needed for your age and current health. 

Many aspects of men’s health center on reproductive health, but there are also general health issues that cause problems in men. Your practitioner works closely with you to create a personalized experience. 

What are some signs of low testosterone?

As the years pass, your body naturally begins to produce lower levels of testosterone. Knowing the signs of low testosterone can help you decide if and when to seek hormone replacement therapy. 

Some of the signs of reduced testosterone production include:

• Loss of body hair
• Fatigue
• Reduced muscle mass
• Erectile dysfunction
• Low sex drive
• Weight gain
• Brain fog
• Enlarged breast tissue

Testosterone therapy helps address these changes by delivering carefully controlled volumes of synthetic testosterone to supplement your natural production levels. Lab testing reveals your current levels and allows the process to be personalized. 

What can be done to treat hair loss?

Thinning hair is a common concern for many men. Thanks to technological advancements, there have never been more treatment options to help slow hair loss and prompt new hair growth. 

The first step is determining what is causing your hair loss. There are a number of medications that can help, including topical applications and oral medications. Your practitioner works with you to find the right approach for your specific set of needs. 

It’s important to be patient as you go through hair loss treatment. It takes time for your body to regenerate and grow new hair, so allow a few months to see the results of your treatment plan.
