At Verve Medical Aesthetics, located in both Bangor and Belfast, we understand that hormones play a vital role in men’s health and overall well-being. Hormonal imbalances can impact everything from energy levels and mood to fertility and sexual performance. That's why it's crucial for men to monitor their hormone levels, especially as they age or experience certain symptoms.
The Role of Male Hormones in Health
Hormones act as messengers that regulate many essential functions in the body, including sexual development, metabolism, muscle growth, and mood. In men, testosterone is the primary hormone responsible for sexual health, muscle mass, and energy levels. However, testosterone levels naturally decline with age, and other factors such as stress, lifestyle, and medical conditions can exacerbate hormonal imbalances.
When hormone levels fluctuate, men can experience a range of symptoms, including low energy, decreased libido, mood swings, and changes in physical appearance, such as reduced muscle mass or thinning hair. That's why early detection and proper management are key to maintaining a healthy, balanced life.
Male Hormone Profile Blood Test
At Verve Medical Aesthetics, our Male Hormone Profile blood test offers a comprehensive evaluation of key reproductive hormones. This test is designed for men who are concerned about their fertility, experiencing symptoms such as fatigue or low libido, or simply want to gain a deeper understanding of their reproductive health.
You may consider this test if:
- You are concerned about your fertility
- You are experiencing low energy, decreased libido, or changes in your hair or muscle mass
- You want to understand your overall reproductive health and hormone levels
This in-depth test checks for the following hormones:
- Luteinizing Hormone (LH) – Regulates testosterone production
- Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) – Plays a role in sperm production
- Testosterone – The main male sex hormone
- Free Androgen Index (FAI) – Assesses available testosterone
- Prolactin – A hormone that can affect sexual desire and erectile function
- Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG) – Binds to testosterone, controlling its availability in the body
Understanding your hormone levels can help you take proactive steps to improve your health and well-being, whether through lifestyle changes, supplements, or medical treatment.
Erectile Dysfunction Profile
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a condition that can affect men at any age, though the causes vary. Younger men may struggle with ED due to stress, anxiety, or medications, while older men often experience ED related to decreasing testosterone levels or underlying medical conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes.
Our Erectile Dysfunction Profile helps identify the root cause of ED by evaluating key hormone levels and other health markers. This test includes:
- Testosterone and Free Testosterone
- PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen)
- Cholesterol levels
- Glucose
- HbA1c (diabetes marker)
- Thyroid function
- Prolactin
This detailed profile helps our doctor at Verve Medical Aesthetics determine the most effective course of treatment for men struggling with ED, whether it's lifestyle changes, medications, or hormone therapy.
Monthly Testosterone Injections
If you've been diagnosed with low testosterone, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) may offer a solution. At Verve Medical Aesthetics, we provide monthly testosterone injections tailored to your individual hormone needs. TRT has been shown to help men regain energy, improve mood, boost libido, and enhance overall quality of life.
Symptoms of low testosterone include:
- Persistent fatigue
- Reduced libido
- Difficulty maintaining muscle mass
- Mood swings or irritability
Our specialist, Dr Mark, can assess whether testosterone therapy is right for you and develop a treatment plan that aims to restore your hormone levels to an optimal balance.
