When people think about the problems that come with decreasing hormone levels, they usually picture precise moments. Women might deal with hot flashes. Men might notice their libido doesn’t respond like it used to.
These unwelcome changes come and go. But what about the effects of hormonal changes that impact you daily? For many people, hormone adjustments mean persistent fatigue.
Fortunately, bioidentical hormone therapy gives you a way to reclaim your energy. Ashok Kadambi, MD, FACE, and our team offer this treatment here at Fort Wayne Endocrinology.
Your hormones play a key role in several bodily functions, which includes your energy level. This fact is true for both men and women.
For women, the hormonal shifts that come with nearing and entering menopause can impact energy in several ways. They can disrupt sleep with hot flashes and fluctuating levels. Plus, declining estrogen and progesterone increase your likelihood of encountering sleep apnea, which directly worsens sleep quality.
For men, testosterone levels decline with age and impact energy levels. As testosterone drops, you might notice that your fatigue climbs.
If persistent fatigue is your only symptom, it makes sense to explore other culprits first. You might work on your circadian rhythm or try to improve your sleep hygiene.
But if you’re dealing with other signs of a hormone imbalance, visit Dr. Kadambi. For men, watch for things like lower libido and loss of muscle mass. For women, hot flashes and mood changes are telltale signs.
If you suspect that your persistent tiredness could be tied to dropping hormone levels, ask Dr. Kadambi about bioidentical hormone therapy.
With this treatment, he can replace hormones your body no longer naturally produces. As the name suggests, he replaces hormones that are bioidentical and match your natural ones.
Dr. Kadambi tailors your hormone replacement therapy to you. By understanding your symptoms, including your fatigue, he can customize treatment to optimize your results. This therapy should help offset the symptoms of menopause or low testosterone, including allowing you to reclaim your energy.
