Menopause and Hormone Balancing
Bay Area Menopause Specialist, Dr. Marianna Abrams, in San Mateo County, has helped many women to improve the symptoms of menopause with Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy. Menopause is a condition that affects all women as they enter the period between age 40 and 55. Premature menopause, prompted by hysterectomy or ovarian damage from chemotherapy, may occur prior to age 40. In either case, hormone changes prompt the gradual or abrupt cessation of one’s menstrual period, marking the end of a woman’s reproductive phase. While this change is for many women a bittersweet milestone, it can also deliver an onslaught of unpleasant symptoms, many of which increase stress in one’s daily life. The symptoms of menopause may cause a wide variety of side effects, including:

Low T & Andropause and Hormone Balancing
Bay Area Low T Specialist, Dr. Marianna Abrams at Water’s Edge Natural Medicine, in San Mateo County, also specializes in helping men balance their hormones with Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy. Andropause is a phenomenon that affects men as they approach middle age, beginning around age 40. Often called the male version of menopause, andropause marks the time of life when men begin to experience a drop in testosterone levels, often resulting in mild to severe physical and mental side effects. However, unlike women who lose their fertility during menopause, men do not have a physical milestone to mark the experience, and thus may not be aware of what is happening, or why.

The doctors and staff have thoughtfully monitored my progress and adjusted my plan when needed to keep me healthy in mind body and spirit. I can’t thank them enough. -R.D.
When andropause occurs, it can bring on changes in mood and attitude, as well as:
- Symptoms of Low T and Andropause
-
- Fatigue
- Loss of energy
- Changes in sex drive and physical endurance
- Irritability
- Weight gain
- Memory loss
- Diminished libido
- Hair loss
- Erectile dysfunction
- Hot flashes
- Muscle loss
- Depression
- Fatigue
- Night sweats
- Gynecomastia
This decline in testosterone may put men at risk for health problems, including heart disease and weak bones. However, because the timing of andropause coincides with a period when men are questioning their values and life trajectory, changes in mood and attitude cannot be entirely credited to hormonal issues. While a loss of testosterone is common to nearly all men as they age, not all men will experience this change at age 40 or to a degree that affects their day-to-day experience. Factors that may contribute to the onset of andropause and Low T include:
- Psychological stress
- Surgery or injuries
- Alcohol abuse
- Medications
- Obesity
- Infections
