Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone and an anabolic steroid. It plays a vital role in reproduction, muscle mass, bone density, red blood cell production, and a sense of well-being or mood. Testosterone levels naturally decline as men age, and low testosterone, or hypogonadism, has become increasingly common among aging men.
Low testosterone levels can cause noticeable signs and symptoms that affect multiple areas of health. Monitoring for the following can help identify if hormone replacement therapy may be beneficial:
Reduced libido
Difficulty achieving orgasm
Reduced sperm production
Loss of muscle and bone mass
Increased body fat
Hot flashes or sweats
Gynecomastia (breast growth)
Depression
Poor concentration and memory
Reduced self-confidence
If multiple low testosterone symptoms are experienced, lab testing can confirm if levels are truly low.
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can provide relief from troublesome low testosterone symptoms. Benefits may include:
With treatment, men can feel symptomatic relief and an improved overall sense of vitality and wellbeing.
If low testosterone signs and symptoms are disrupting quality of life, laboratory blood analysis can help provide answers.
Initial testing includes:
Values falling under the normal range, combined with troublesome symptoms, indicate hormone therapy may help.
Repeat tests may be needed as some conditions can temporarily affect hormone levels. Testing at our clinic helps accurately diagnose low testosterone.
Testosterone treatments can thicken very thin hair, especially on the crown of the head, leading some balding men to see unexpected hair regrowth from such hormone therapy. However, it works best in younger men before they have lost too much hair. There is debate over exactly how much it helps and for whom.
