Boost Hormonal Balance, Vitality, and Anti-Aging from Within

If you’re struggling with fatigue, mood changes, low libido, or hormonal imbalances, one key hormone may be quietly declining: DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone – 디하이드로에피안드로스테론). Known as the “mother hormone,” DHEA is a precursor to both testosterone and estrogen, playing a crucial role in energy, immunity, and healthy aging. At clinics like Gangnam J Urology Clinic in Seoul, DHEA testing and supplementation are offered as part of a comprehensive approach to male and hormonal health—ideal for men seeking performance, mood, and wellness optimization.

What Is DHEA and Why Does It Matter?

DHEA is a naturally occurring hormone produced primarily by the adrenal glands. It helps regulate:

• Sex hormones (testosterone and estrogen)
• Energy metabolism and fat distribution
• Cognitive function and mood stability
• Bone strength and skin health
• Immune system support

DHEA levels peak in your 20s and decline steadily with age. By your 40s or 50s, levels may drop by more than 50%, contributing to symptoms that mimic stress, aging, or burnout.

Signs You May Benefit from DHEA Therapy

Low DHEA levels are often linked to:

• Chronic fatigue or low stamina
• Depressed mood or anxiety
• Reduced libido and poor sexual performance
• Muscle loss and weight gain
• Weakened immune response
• Poor memory, brain fog, or aging skin

DHEA deficiency can also play a supporting role in low testosterone, adrenal fatigue, or andropause.

Is DHEA Safe?

When prescribed and monitored by a physician:

• DHEA is generally safe and well-tolerated
• Blood levels are routinely monitored to avoid excess (which may convert to estrogen or cause acne or hair thinning)
• Not recommended for men with prostate cancer risk unless supervised

Always avoid over-the-counter DHEA use without lab testing—it may worsen hormonal imbalance if misused.
