We Provide Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Testosterone replacement therapy (also known as TRT) is an extremely effective medical treatment for men who are suffering from low testosterone levels and its symptoms.

What is Testosterone?

Testosterone is considered a male sex hormone, and it is primarily produced in the testicles (although a very small amount comes from the adrenal glands). Testosterone is responsible for the development of primary sexual characteristics: male genitalia. It is also responsible for secondary sexual characteristics including muscle bulk, deep voice, and hair pattern. Testosterone helps regulate other physical factors that impact mood and energy levels and protect heart health. It is also responsible for maintaining a normal sex drive. Testosterone helps to influence or provides: man and woman lie in bed, the woman is asleep the man is awake and thinking.

What Causes Low Testosterone?

There are a number of conditions that could cause low testosterone levels, which include:

Primary hypogonadism (when testes do not properly function)
Secondary hypogonadism (when production of testosterone suppressed due to a tumor of the pituitary gland or hypothalamus)
Cancer (testicular, prostate, or male breast cancer)
Bilateral orchidectomy (removal of both testicles due to cancer or other conditions such as testicular torsion)
Injuries to the testicles
Delayed puberty
The normal aging process

Male hypogonadism is most frequently due to testicular damage, disease or genetic disorder (primary hypogonadism) e.g. Klinefelter syndrome. It may also result from malfunctioning of the pituitary gland or hypothalamus in the brain (secondary hypogonadism). Primary and secondary hypogonadism has a prevalence of 5 cases per 1000 men. This makes it one of the most common forms of hormonal deficiencies in men, yet only one in five men are diagnosed early in life. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) effectively restores blood testosterone concentrations in men with hypogonadism to the normal levels of healthy young males.

What are the Symptoms of Testosterone Deficiency?

Male hypogonadism is the medical phrase used to describe men with a testosterone deficiency. The severity of the condition can vary from individual to individual. However, there is universal similarity of symptoms in testosterone deficient males. These include:

• fatigue
• lethargy
• lack of motivation
• poor memory
• mood changes
• ill temper
• depression
• sexual dysfunction
• poor erectile function
• loss of sexual interest
• diminished muscle strength
• osteoporosis
• anemia

What is Testosterone Replacement Therapy?

Hypogonadism is the medical term for testosterone deficiency and simply means having a low testosterone level. It happens when the testes do not function normally. This can be due to a problem in the testes, where testosterone is made, or a problem in the pituitary gland underneath the brain, which controls the function of the testes. Low testosterone can happen in men of any age. However, there is a progressive decline in testosterone levels as men get older.

If your own body does not make enough testosterone, you may benefit from having supplemental testosterone. If indicated, testosterone replacement therapy will be initiated by our doctor.

Our doctor will first do a definitive diagnosis including;

The Procedure
A review of symptoms
Medical History
Physical examination
Blood Test Results and Diagnosis

After that, we will conclude whether you’re suffering from testosterone deficiency or the symptoms may be due to other conditions or causes.

If the other conditions are causing your testosterone level to drop, we may treat other underlying conditions before recommending TRT.
