Low testosterone, also known as hypogonadism or "low T," is a common issue that affects millions of men. As men age, testosterone levels begin to naturally decline after age 30, dropping about 1% per year. Low testosterone levels can cause symptoms like:
Low sex drive
Hair loss
Difficulties with concentration and memory
Weight gain, especially around the waist
Detecting and treating low testosterone is crucial for men to maintain strength, vitality, and overall health. Ignoring symptoms and letting levels drop can lead to serious long term health issues.
TRT, or testosterone replacement therapy, is an effective treatment for low T levels. TRT can be delivered through injections, gels, patches or pellets implanted under the skin. TRT helps restore testosterone to normal healthy levels, providing improvements such as:
With normalized testosterone levels, most men report noticeable gains in energy, reduced fatigue, and improved productivity at work and home.
Many men discover increased libido and sexual function when undergoing TRT. Satisfying sex life is a crucial component for overall wellness.
Testosterone plays a key role in building muscle mass. TRT helps men achieve gains from strength training and physical activity. Increased muscle mass also boosts metabolism, aiding fat loss.
Testosterone contributes greatly to mental acuity - with TRT men often see improved ability to focus, learn new information, and stay productive at demanding cognitive tasks.
Low T frequently manifests through depression, irritability and mood swings. TRT can stabilize moods and promote an overall sense of motivation and well-being.
In short - testosterone replacement therapy can help men regain the strength, vitality and healthy drive they experienced in their youth.
If low T symptoms sound familiar, getting tested is the critical next step. A simple blood test can accurately measure current testosterone levels.
Our clinic partners with local labs that men can conveniently visit to get tested. If levels are below normal thresholds, TRT becomes an option worth considering.
We also test key health markers such as red and white blood cell count, prostate specific antigen (PSA), and cholesterol levels to further assess patient health and risks.
