Low testosterone, also known as low T or hypogonadism, is a condition where the body does not produce enough testosterone. Testosterone is the main male sex hormone and is responsible for characteristics like muscle mass, bone density, body and facial hair growth, sperm production, sex drive, and energy levels.
Signs and symptoms of low T may include:
Causes of low testosterone can include:
Serious risks are also associated with untreated low T like increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, infertility and even early death. That's why timely diagnosis and treatment are so crucial.
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) involves restoring testosterone levels through gels, injections, patches or other delivery methods. When properly administered, TRT offers a variety of benefits including:
Results vary by individual but most men report significant improvements across multiple facets of life. TRT not only makes you look and feel better physically, but the mental and emotional impacts are just as profound. With renewed vigor and vitality, your overall quality of life is revitalized.
The first step is getting diagnostic bloodwork to accurately measure current testosterone levels. A clinically low result - generally under 300 ng/dL - combined with symptoms confirms a diagnosis of hypogonadism.
Once diagnosed, we determine the optimal protocol based on your medical history, goals, preferences and more. The most common TRT protocols include:
We tailor protocols to your needs and preferences with careful monitoring for safety and efficacy. Follow up bloodwork, symptom tracking and dosage adjustments ensure you reach optimal, balanced testosterone levels.
TRT results timeline: Most men notice initial effects within weeks but maximum benefits often take 3-6 months. This reflects the time needed to replenish deficit levels within the body and resume normal biological functions. Patience and consistency are key.
Comprehensive TRT should include guidance on lifestyle, nutrition and wellness for optimal health:
TRT works best alongside healthy lifestyle modifications for whole-person wellbeing. Our clinic offers comprehensive care guidance to help you actualize your fullest potential.
Testosterone treatments can help improve bone density and strength in older men, potentially reducing their risk of osteoporosis and fractures, which is surprising since testosterone is often thought of only for its muscle-building effects.
Since low T symptoms resemble other conditions, accurate diagnosis through blood testing is essential before considering treatment. We utilize advanced LC/MS-MS assays for precision testosterone measurements versus older, often unreliable methods.
Common tests include:
Evaluation of symptoms alongside lab testing confirms true clinical deficiency that merits treatment. We also screen for potential contraindications like prostate cancer risk before initiating therapy.
