Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is a medical intervention designed to address low testosterone levels in individuals. Testosterone is a crucial hormone responsible for various bodily functions, including the development of male reproductive tissues, maintaining muscle mass, bone density, and regulating energy levels. As men age, they may experience a natural decline in testosterone production, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, reduced libido, mood swings, and muscle loss. Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) involves the administration of exogenous testosterone, often through injections, gels, patches, or pellets, to restore hormonal balance and alleviate associated symptoms. The therapy is carefully prescribed depending on your lab results and monitored to ensure effectiveness and minimize potential side effects. It is essential for individuals considering TRT to undergo thorough assessments and consultations with medical providers to determine if the treatment is appropriate for their specific health needs.
Understanding Low Testosterone
Low testosterone or "low T" (andropause - male menopause) is the gradual decline of male hormones as we age. Most men have a natural decline of testosterone by 1-2% every year after the age of 30. It is estimated that more than 40 million men in the U.S. have low testosterone, but are unaware of their condition. It is very treatable but often is underdiagnosed condition which can affect a males quality of life such as relationships, work performance, mental focus, sexual health, family and hobbies. Low testosterone is attributed to cardiovascular diseases, metabolic diseases, insulin resistance, obesity, and muscle wasting. Low testosterone is also implicated in anxiety disorder, depression, and apathy.
Low T is when levels fall below the ranges that are recommended. Levels can range from around 1000 to the low end of less than 350. Range recommendations are between 700 to 900. Once a client is identified as a candidate for replacement a supervised treatment plan will be developed.
