Testosterone deficiency can cause several symptoms including:
Fatigue and lack of energy are common signs of low testosterone. Patients may feel tired even with adequate sleep and rest.
Erectile dysfunction and reduced libido affect many men since testosterone regulates sexual function. Patients may lose interest in sex or have difficulty achieving/maintaining erections.
Loss of muscle mass and reduced strength occur due to testosterone's role in building muscle. Patients may feel physically weaker and notice muscle loss.
Increased body fat happens especially around the stomach area. Weight gain is typical and difficult to control with diet/exercise alone.
Mood instability like irritability, anxiety, and depression are linked to low testosterone since it impacts mental health. Patients may struggle emotionally due to hormone imbalance.
Sleep disturbances keep patients from deep, restorative sleep necessary for health. Insomnia and frequent nighttime awakenings are common complaints.
Hot flashes and sweats affect some men since testosterone regulates temperature control. Patients may sweat excessively and feel overheated.
Low sex drive often significantly impacts patients and their intimate relationships. Lacking desire causes relationship strain and dissatisfaction.
Emotional changes like anger, sadness, lack of motivation, and difficulty concentrating impact quality of life without treatment.
Hair loss/body hair changes happen since testosterone influences hair growth patterns. Scalp hair may thin and body hair decrease for some patients.
Careful tracking of signs and symptoms helps identify low testosterone needing prompt diagnosis and treatment for optimal health and wellbeing. Our experienced medical team listens closely to patient concerns and thoroughly evaluates hormone balance using blood testing and physical exams. We create customized treatment plans to resolve deficiency symptoms and restore vigor, strength, mental clarity and sex drive to empower patients to fully enjoy life again.
Accurate testosterone level testing is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment planning. A simple blood draw analyzes important hormone indicators:
Repeat testing over time provides comparison to evaluate treatment effectiveness after beginning testosterone replacement therapy. Follow-up bloodwork helps guide dosage adjustments to resolve lingering symptoms and reach optimal balance tailored to the individual patient’s physiology and needs. We utilize only top accredited labs for reliable, consistent test analysis and results.
The goal of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is restoring healthy hormone balance by providing the body additional testosterone it lacks. This resolves deficiency symptoms to regain strength, energy, sex drive, emotional stability, and overall wellness. Multiple treatment options effectively elevate total and free testosterone availability:
*Testosterone injections - Pure testosterone is directly administered into the muscle via regular injections. Dosage and frequency are adjusted to meet customized treatment goals based on the patient’s unique needs and blood testing during ongoing monitoring.
*Testosterone gels / creams - Topical gels containing testosterone are applied daily onto the upper arms, shoulders and abdomen allowing skin absorption. Convenient application allows steady hormone delivery.
*Testosterone pellets - Small testosterone-containing implants are placed under the skin lasting several months. The pure hormone dissolves providing steady release, avoiding frequent dosing. Local numbing medication minimizes discomfort.
*Oral testosterone capsules - Taken daily by mouth, capsule absorption into the bloodstream increases testosterone availability. Liver metabolism of oral doses may limit steady concentration.
We thoughtfully evaluate each patient’s situation including symptom severity, treatment goals, and personal preferences to recommend the ideal TRT solution for their needs. Powerful benefits from effectively treating low testosterone make optimizing hormones well worth the investment for substantially improving health and quality of life.
Postponing necessary testosterone therapy comes with substantial risk. Symptoms inevitably progress without treatment, causing loss of strength/stamina, muscle wasting, dense fat accumulation, hair loss, persistent fatigue, emotional instability, weak bones (osteoporosis), reduced mental sharpness, higher cardiovascular risk, and diabetes likelihood.
Further, unresolved testosterone deficiency fosters cellular damage raising risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s over the long term. Therefore, timely diagnosis and prompt treatment is critical, not optional.
We focus intensely on the urgent need to restore hormone balance ASAP once low testosterone is definitively diagnosed through testing and evaluation. Allowing deficiency to fester by delaying treatment enables progressive decline in health and accelerated aging.
*Taking swift action is key - The sooner treatment is started through TRT optimizing testosterone availability, the better, faster, and more complete symptom resolution and wellness restoration will be. We help patients begin improving right away with expert care. Contact us today if you have any symptoms possibly suggesting low testosterone warranting testing.
Testosterone treatments are increasingly being used not just for low testosterone in men but also to boost muscle mass and strength in healthy aging men. While the effects on muscle can be significant, studies show testosterone treatments provide no benefit for cognitive function in healthy older men.
