Low testosterone, also called hypotestosteronism or hypogonadism, is a common issue that affects men's fertility, sexual function, bone density, and muscle mass. As testosterone levels decline, men may experience various signs and symptoms:
If men experience several of these symptoms, getting testosterone levels checked is wise. Optimal Hormone Wellness Center offers comprehensive hormone testing to accurately diagnose and treat hormone imbalances.
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) involves restoring testosterone levels to normal range with gels, injections, pellets, or other delivery methods. When properly administered, TRT offers remarkable benefits:
In summary, properly administered testosterone therapy helps men regain their strength, virility, and overall health. Optimal Hormone Wellness Center customizes treatment based on each client's needs and goals.
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) restores testosterone levels using external sources of testosterone. This is often needed when a man's body cannot produce enough testosterone itself.
There are several delivery methods:
Testosterone injections - Typically administered weekly or biweekly. Testosterone levels peak just after the injection then decline. This can cause some hormone fluctuation. But injections are convenient, requiring less frequent dosing.
Testosterone gels - Applied daily to upper arms, shoulders or thighs. Gels release testosterone into the bloodstream steadily. But daily application is required and skin transfers to others must be avoided until fully absorbed.
There are also oral testosterone medications (capsules), but these are harsher on the liver. Optimal Hormone Wellness Center provides gels, injections and other options customized for each client.
Testosterone pellets are bio-identical hormones compressed into small rods. These are implanted below the skin every 3-6 months, providing consistent testosterone release. A minor in-office procedure is required for periodic pellet replacement.
Optimal Hormone Wellness Center offers various TRT options to best meet each man's lifestyle, needs and preferences. Our physicians monitor clients closely, making dosage adjustments as needed over time for optimal treatment success.
Sometimes low testosterone causes vague symptoms that men shrug off or attribute to natural aging. But untreated low T significantly impacts men's health over months and years:
Without treatment, libido, sexual function, muscle tone and strength slowly and progressively worsen over time. Men experience ongoing fatigue, weight gain and loss of self-confidence.
Chronic diseases like obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome and heart disease develop insidiously. Osteoporosis advances, height loss occurs and fracture risk escalates over years.
Anxiety, irritability and depression often plague men with low testosterone. Poor concentration impairs work performance. Social withdrawal progresses without treatment.
Thankfully, Optimal Hormone Wellness Center offers convenient blood tests to accurately check hormone levels. If low T is diagnosed, treatment can prevent long term virility and health declines. At Optimal Hormone Wellness Center, skilled physicians customize therapy based on lab results, lifestyle considerations and treatment goals.
Early detection and prompt, effective treatment helps men regain their strength, confidence and wellbeing. Optimal Hormone Wellness Center' individualized care has helped thousands of men optimize health through successful testosterone therapy. Contact us today to learn more!
A 2021 study found that men who regularly attend religious services have a 23% lower mortality risk over an 8-12 year period compared to those who don't, even after adjusting for demographics and health behaviors. This suggests that aspects of religious engagement like social support or purpose may positively influence men's health.
