Low testosterone, also known as low T or hypogonadism, is a medical condition that occurs when the body does not produce enough testosterone. Testosterone is an essential hormone that plays a crucial role in multiple body functions in both men and women. When testosterone levels decline, it can lead to a variety of unpleasant symptoms.
Some of the most common symptoms of low testosterone include:
If you experience any of those issues, getting tested for low testosterone is highly recommended. Left untreated, low T can significantly reduce one's quality of life.
There are several potential reasons someone may develop low testosterone:
Identifying the underlying cause of your hormone deficiency is crucial in determining the most appropriate treatment approach.
Getting tested is the only way to confirm if hormone levels are truly low. At Rejuvenate Hormone Clinic our medical professionals use two key tests:
Based on the results, our physicians can definitively diagnose the presence of low testosterone and recommend treatment options. We utilize high-quality Quest Diagnostics lab testing.
Once diagnosed, the most common treatment for low testosterone is testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). The goal of TRT is to return testosterone levels back to a normal, healthy range.
When delivered properly, TRT can:
In essence, TRT can reverse all the issues associated with low T, restoring one's vitality and quality of life.
TRT is appropriate for otherwise healthy adults that have been properly diagnosed with low testosterone and are experiencing related symptoms.
However, TRT may not be suitable for some patients, like those with prostate cancer or severe urinary issues. Our medical team carefully evaluates patients to determine if TRT is clinically indicated.
When delivered under medical supervision, TRT is generally very safe and effective if properly administered.
Finding the right clinic is crucial to getting the most out of TRT. Rejuvenate Hormone Clinic employs highly trained medical staff with expertise in hormone therapies:
In essence, our goal is to help patients look, feel and perform at their best regardless of age.
If our medical team determines TRT is suitable, the general process is as follows:
1. Choosing a delivery method - testosterone is available in injectables, transdermals (gels, creams), and more recently, oral capsules
2. Starting therapy - dosage and frequency is dictated by lab work, medical history, and treatment goals
3. Follow-up testing & monitoring - blood work and progress tracking ensures optimized results
4. Ongoing patient support - our coordinators assist with any questions or issues
This structured process enables superior treatment outcomes in a supportive environment.
There are various TRT delivery methods to suit patient preferences:
Each approach has pros and cons to consider with your healthcare provider to choose what is optimal for your lifestyle and needs.
Being proactive about low testosterone is strongly advised. Many patients tend to delay getting tested after symptoms emerge, allowing issues to compound:
By starting TRT promptly under medical care, substantial improvements happen quicker with fewer symptoms spiraling into new complications.
