Testosterone is an essential hormone for men's health and wellbeing. Over time, testosterone levels can start to decline due to natural aging or health conditions, leading to troublesome symptoms. The medical term for low testosterone is hypogonadism or testosterone deficiency. Testosterone deficiency is typically diagnosed when levels fall below 300 ng/dL.
Testosterone deficiency can negatively impact men's quality of life. As levels fall, men may experience:
If low testosterone remains untreated over the long term, it can lead to serious health risks like cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and infertility.
Thankfully, testosterone deficiency is treatable through testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). With proper diagnosis and customized treatment, men can restore healthy testosterone levels and regain their vitality.
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) offers life-changing benefits for men with clinically low testosterone levels, including:
In short, TRT can transform men's health and lives for the better when managed appropriately under a doctor's care.
The first step is diagnostic testing to confirm low testosterone. Hormone Harmony specializes in advanced hormone testing and analysis.
We check total testosterone along with free testosterone levels. Free testosterone is the form available for the body to use - high total T levels can mask low free T.
Testing is typically done first thing in the morning when levels peak. Results below 300 ng/dL indicate hypogonadism. Borderline levels between 300-400 may also warrant treatment if symptoms persist.
We also test other related hormones like estradiol, LH, FSH and SHBG to gain deeper insight into the cause of deficiency for personalized care. Underlying health issues can impact hormones too.
Only an experienced hormone health physician can interpret full lab testing to determine if TRT is appropriate. Self-diagnosis based on symptoms alone is risky and unreliable.
Once testosterone deficiency is confirmed through testing, our physicians create customized treatment protocols tailored to the patient’s health profile.
There are several delivery methods for TRT:
Treatment protocol details like dosage, delivery method and frequency will depend on the patient’s lab results, symptoms, lifestyle, preferences and treatment goals. Follow-up blood work helps ensure dosing is optimized.
If fertility is a goal, hCG may be incorporated to maintain sperm production. Estrogen blockers can manage side effects too.
Hormone Harmony physicians tailor fully personalized long-term treatment plans for success. Strict medical supervision is vital for health and safety throughout therapy.
The negative impacts of low testosterone worsen over time if left untreated. Hormone Harmony emphasizes early detection and prompt treatment for the best restoration outcomes.
Many men struggle with testosterone deficiency symptoms for years before seeking medical advice. Some dismiss issues like low energy and weak erections as just “signs of aging”. Pride and reluctance to discuss sexual problems can delay help too.
However, the sooner hormone imbalance is addressed, the more effectively treatment can:
If you have noticed ongoing fatigue, erectile dysfunction, lack of motivation or other issues potentially tied to low testosterone, don’t write them off. Talk to your doctor about testosterone blood testing to uncover any imbalance early.
