Testosterone replacement therapy - Renew Hormone Clinic

Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone that is crucial for men's vitality and well-being. Testosterone levels naturally decline with age, leading to troublesome symptoms that severely impact quality of life. The medical condition is called hypogonadism or low testosterone (low T). Thankfully, safe and effective testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is available to treat testosterone deficiency.

What is Testosterone and Why is it Important?

Testosterone is an androgen hormone produced mainly in the testicles. This vital hormone:

• Controls sex drive and erectile function
• Maintains muscle mass and strength
• Keeps bone density strong
• Aids fat distribution
• Bolsters energy, mood and cognitive abilities

Healthy testosterone levels are absolutely critical for men's health and vitality. Tragically, testosterone deficiency afflicts millions of men worldwide.

Signs and Symptoms of Low Testosterone

Testosterone levels peak in early adulthood then progressively fall year after year. Some men experience the effects of aging as a gradual decline in vitality. For others, the onset of hypogonadism symptoms is sudden and disruptive:

Physical Symptoms

• Loss of muscle mass and strength
• Weight gain, increased body fat
• Reduction in bone density (osteoporosis risk)
• Erectile dysfunction
• Loss of body and facial hair

Emotional Symptoms

• Depression, irritability, mood swings
• Lack motivation and self-confidence
• Difficulty concentrating

Low Sex Drive and Performance

• Decreased libido
• Infrequent, unsatisfying erections
• Fewer spontaneous erections
• Infertility risk

If you experience several low testosterone symptoms, get your T levels tested without delay! Deficient levels can now be safely corrected with TRT.

Diagnosis and Blood Testing

Diagnosing low T requires a simple blood draw to measure total testosterone levels. Other key hormones may also be tested for imbalances impeding health and virility:

• Free testosterone (unbound, usable T)
• Estrogen (must be balanced)
• LH & FSH (signals the pituitary gland)
• PSA (prostate cancer screening)
• Complete metabolic panel (checks cardiometabolic health)

Results below 300 ng/dL confirm hypogonadism and the need for treatment. Borderline low levels between 300 to 500 ng/dL along with clear deficiency symptoms may also warrant TRT.
