Testosterone is an essential hormone that plays a vital role in men's health. When levels are low, men may experience symptoms like low energy, reduced muscle mass, weight gain, fatigue, poor concentration, low libido, and erectile dysfunction.
Low testosterone, also called hypogonadism or androgen deficiency, has become increasingly common. It affects close to 40% of men aged 45 and over. Thankfully, through testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), low testosterone can be effectively treated.
Renewal Hormone Clinic specializes in testosterone replacement therapy and men's sexual health. Our clinic provides comprehensive care including testing, customized treatment plans, and ongoing monitoring.
Our medical team includes urologists, endocrinologists, and nurses specially trained in TRT protocols. We utilize cutting-edge therapies and the latest medical research to optimize patient outcomes.
We also address related issues like erectile dysfunction, infertility, and metabolic disorders.
Low testosterone causes vague, often overlapping symptoms, so accurate diagnosis requires blood testing. Renewal Hormone Clinic conducts advanced hormone panels along with medical history reviews and physical exams.
We test total testosterone along with free testosterone and other hormones for context. Results under 300 ng/dL indicate hypogonadism. Borderline levels may also warrant treatment if symptoms persist.
Symptoms of low testosterone:
If multiple symptoms are present, testosterone testing can determine if hormone therapy is indicated.
Once diagnosed, we develop tailored regimens involving one or more delivery methods:
Testosterone injections are injected into muscles, usually glutes or thighs. Effects last 1-2 weeks. Injections provide the most stable blood hormone levels but require regular administration.
Testosterone gels are topical treatments applied daily. Gels provide steady hormone release and easy self-administration but dosage transfer risks exist.
Testosterone pellets are inserted under the skin every 3-6 months, providing gradual hormone release. Pellets require minor surgical implantation but avoid frequent dosing.
We select options considering patient factors like lifestyle, preferences, and treatment history. Custom protocols provide optimal restoration of testosterone levels.
When properly administered, testosterone therapy delivers life-changing benefits:
Results vary but most men report greatly improved quality of life across physical, mental and sexual domains.
Lifestyle changes like better diet, exercise and stress reduction combined with TRT provide the best outcomes. We offer nutrition and fitness guidance to help patients achieve their wellness goals.
Testosterone therapy carries some risks and isn't right for every low testosterone patient. Renewal Hormone Clinic conducts complete evaluations to determine which patients qualify.
Those not advised for TRT include:
For qualifying candidates, the extensive benefits of testosterone therapy far outweigh potential side effects. We monitor patients to minimize adverse reactions.
Talk to your doctor or contact Renewal Hormone Clinic to explore whether TRT is appropriate for improving your vitality, health and wellbeing.
