Mens Health

The Harley Street Men’s Midlife Clinic is an important part of our Cellular + Regenerative Clinic Harley Street. Here, we specialise in addressing the unique health concerns that arise during midlife. Our expert team offers a range of services tailored to help men navigate this transitional period with confidence and vitality.

One of our primary focuses is on male menopause, also known as andropause. This condition involves a natural decline in testosterone levels in males, typically occurring around the age of 40. Symptoms of male menopause can be both physical and psychological, including low energy, insomnia, depression, brain fog, lowered self-confidence, difficulty concentrating, increased body fat, reduced muscle mass, decreased bone density, erectile dysfunction, reduced libido, and infertility. These changes can significantly impact your quality of life, but with proper management and care, their effects can be mitigated.

Hormonal changes in men, are more gradual, and can start earlier, when compared to those experienced by women during menopause, often involve a gradual decrease in testosterone levels. This can lead to symptoms starting in their 40s.

Ageing can also lead to metabolic disturbances, as early as in their 30’s, including insulin resistance and reduced insulin production, which often results in the accumulation of belly and visceral fat. This accumulation heightens the risk of chronic inflammation and cardiovascular issues, and can further compound the symptoms of the male menopause, which are now being experienced in men in their 30s. This has let to the term “MANOPAUSE” being used. This refers to the loss of ,what men perceive, as ‘Manhood’.

Lifestyle choices, such as poor diet, lack of exercise, and sedentary behaviour, can contribute to the early onset of “Manopause”. Adopting healthier habits and staying physically active can help mitigate these effects. Additionally, hormonal changes can impact mental health, leading to symptoms like brain fog and decreased concentration. Addressing these mental health issues and seeking support is crucial for overall well-being.

Gut health plays a vital role in overall health. Changes in diet and lifestyle can affect the gut microbiome, potentially increasing chronic inflammation. Consuming anti-inflammatory foods and maintaining a healthy gut flora can help reduce these effects.

We understand that discussing symptoms like erectile dysfunction or depression can be challenging. Our compassionate healthcare providers create a supportive environment where you can talk openly about your health concerns. To provide a comprehensive understanding of your health status, we offer blood and urine testing, which helps us evaluate your overall condition. Additionally, our visceral body fat testing is crucial for identifying risks related to cardiovascular problems, and regular physical health checks are part of our approach to ensuring your well-being.

If testosterone levels are found to be low, we may discuss hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and its potential benefits and risks. Our treatment options also include lifestyle modifications such as adopting a balanced diet, engaging in regular exercise, ensuring adequate sleep, and managing stress.

A personalised approach to health, including genetic testing and understanding individual health blueprints, can significantly impact outcomes. Environmental factors and lifestyle choices play a major role, and positive changes can reduce health risks.
