Hormone Therapy for Men: A Gamechanger for Quality of Life – Henrik's Story

26-03-2025

Many men experience symptoms such as fatigue, decreased energy and mental lack of focus as they approach male menopause, also known as andropause. For some, this can mean a significant reduction in quality of life. One solution to this problem is hormone replacement therapy, which is increasingly being recognized as a way to optimize men's well-being. Henrik is one of the men who has achieved significant improvements through hormone replacement therapy at Valida Health.

Why Valida Health?

Henrik became aware of the concept of male menopause through articles and podcasts and quickly became interested in hormone therapy for men. As he says: "I had read articles and listened to podcasts about male menopause, and was introduced to hormone therapy for men. I had previously tried a mild testosterone treatment in the form of a gel, which my doctor prescribed, but it only had a small effect."

Henrik encountered challenges with Danish doctors who were often hesitant to take the initiative for hormone therapy for men, as there is limited knowledge on the subject: "In general, Danish doctors do not have much knowledge about the area and are typically hesitant to take the initiative in that direction." When he came across Valida Health, he was met by a team with expertise in the field, and he quickly received confirmation that hormone therapy could be the right choice to optimize his quality of life.

Treatment Effect: Vital Energy and Well-being

For Henrik, hormone therapy is not about building muscle, as many people mistakenly believe, but about regaining the energy and zest for life he had in his younger years. "It's about regaining the energy and zest for life that you had when you were 30," he says. Henrik, who is an active person and trains a lot – both with strength training, swimming and running – wanted to regain the mental and physical energy that he felt had been depleted over time.

The hormone treatment gave Henrik the necessary energy and energy to handle his busy life. "I have a busy life and a job that requires mental sharpness, and the treatment helps me maintain focus and energy." The treatment has given him the energy and mental clarity he had been missing, and he quickly experienced improvements in his quality of life.

Ongoing Supervision and Security

One of the biggest advantages of treatment at Valida Health is the ongoing follow-up and adjustment of the treatment. Men undergoing hormone therapy often need to have their dosage adjusted to ensure that it fits their needs exactly. "My blood tests are checked continuously so that the dosage is adjusted to my needs, and this gives me the security that is needed around this type of treatment," explains Henrik.

Henrik notes that his dose has been adjusted continuously – from every 6 weeks to now every 10 weeks – and he is very satisfied with the result: "It gives me peace of mind, because I want to not only live well, but also live long."

A Marked Improvement in Quality of Life

Henrik notes that the hormone therapy has given him a significant improvement in his quality of life. "I feel sharp, energetic and mentally balanced," he says, emphasizing that the treatment has had a positive impact on both his professional and personal life. He encourages other men to consider the treatment: "I recommend it to everyone I meet because I really feel a significant difference."

Call to Other Men

Henrik hopes that more men his age will consider hormone therapy as an option to improve their quality of life. "For me, it has really been a positive game changer," he concludes. By investing in his hormonal health, he has managed to get his life back on track and experience a much better quality of life.
