Testosterone is an essential hormone that plays a crucial role in both men's and women's overall health and wellbeing. Declining levels of testosterone as we age can negatively impact energy, mood, sexual health, muscle and bone strength. However, through testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), these effects can be reduced or reversed.
At Harmony Hormone Center, we specialize in TRT and helping patients to regain optimal testosterone levels. Read on to learn more about common signs of low testosterone, the wide-ranging benefits of TRT, what to expect from treatment, and why timely diagnosis and care from knowledgeable medical providers is key.
Many assume that only older men suffer from testosterone deficiency, but it can impact both younger men and women too. Some of the most typical symptoms include:
TRT serves to restore testosterone to normal, healthy levels leading to widespread benefits:
In summary, TRT can literally help you look better, feel better, work better and play better!
If blood tests confirm clinically low testosterone, TRT can be prescribed. At Harmony Hormone Center there are different treatment options to suit each patient's needs:
Testosterone injections are extremely effective, avoiding digestive absorption issues. Injections are administered weekly or biweekly.
Testosterone gels provide precise dosing and are easily self-administered daily.
Though not as common, oral testosterone capsules provide yet another administration option.
Regardless of mode, TRT doses are carefully titrated based on follow up bloodwork and symptom monitoring until optimal testosterone levels and benefits are achieved.
A little-known outcome of testosterone therapy is that it can increase red blood cell production and blood viscosity. While concerning if extreme, moderate increases in hematocrit (red blood cell levels) may benefit oxygen transport and exercise capacity in some older men or men with chronic disease.
Left untreated, low testosterone can significantly erode one's vitality, health and quality of life. It has been linked to issues including:
Furthermore, the benefits of TRT go far beyond symptom relief. Adequate testosterone plays a crucial role in protecting long term health.
That's why timely testing and treatment are so vital. At Harmony Hormone Center, our experienced medical providers follow best-practice clinical guidelines to safely restore testosterone to optimal levels as soon as possible.
