Testosterone is an essential hormone that plays a crucial role in men's health and vitality. As men age, testosterone levels gradually decline, leading to a condition known as hypogonadism or low T. The symptoms of low T can significantly impair quality of life.
Common signs and symptoms include:
There are several potential causes of testosterone deficiency:
If you experience any symptoms of low testosterone, have your blood levels tested. This provides definitive evidence of a hormone deficiency.
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can provide immense benefits for men with low T. Prescription testosterone is available in different forms such as injections, gels, patches and pellets.
The key benefits of TRT include:
With treatment, most men report feeling 10-15 years younger. TRT can quite literally provide a new lease on life.
Accurately diagnosing testosterone deficiency requires thorough lab testing and analysis. This should include:
Testosterone fluctuates daily and seasonally. For accurate results, have blood drawn in the early morning when levels peak. If initial results are inconclusive, repeat testing may be needed.
The Endocrine Society provides clinical guidelines for making an accurate diagnosis of hypogonadism requiring treatment.
Once diagnosed with low testosterone, TRT can be started after discussing expectations, risks and benefits with your healthcare provider.
The standard process for beginning TRT:
Testosterone therapy is highly individualized. Your provider will determine the optimal treatment regimen based on:
