A Closer Look At Testosterone Treatments

As men get older and their testosterone levels drop, their bodies start to decline, making them more likely to suffer from various health issues. Men with low testosterone often experience symptoms like less energy, low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, memory problems, and loss of muscle mass. These symptoms can really knock a man’s confidence and affect his physical ability, which can also strain his mental health and overall lifestyle.

Dealing with these problems can be tough for many men without medical help, which is why hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is commonly used to address issues linked to low testosterone. The main goal is to increase testosterone levels to a healthy range and get physical functions back to normal. This is why many doctors see testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) as the best approach to bringing testosterone levels up to normal. Men over 40 can regain strength and improve their health using TRT. Additionally, many patients have reported a lot of benefits and positive outcomes from using TRT to treat low testosterone.

What Are The Benefits Of Testosterone Replacement Therapy For Men?

Testosterone replacement therapy offers a variety of benefits for men, including:

• A healthier heart
  
  
• More muscle mass
  
  
• Better memory and mood
  
  
• Higher libido
  
  
• Improved sleep

Testosterone therapy can also boost the production of lean body mass, which helps with weight management. To find out more about the advantages of testosterone replacement therapy, it’s a good idea to get in touch with your local testosterone clinic for further details.

How Much Does TRT Therapy Cost?

The cost of TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) can vary based on your specific health conditions, the dosage, and how long the treatment will last. Before beginning TRT, discussing the costs with your nearest TRT clinic is wise. Don't forget to ask about different payment options to help you budget for the treatment.

How Do I Diagnose Low T Levels?

To check for low testosterone levels during TRT (testosterone replacement therapy), your doctor will use a simple blood test to measure the amount of testosterone in your blood. Since testosterone levels can vary during the day, you might need several tests for accurate measurements. Doctors usually prefer to check testosterone levels in the morning because they are generally highest around 8 am.

Is Testosterone Therapy Suitable For You?

If you're showing signs of low testosterone, like a reduced sex drive, changes in mood, and lower blood levels, then testosterone replacement therapy could be a good way to address these problems.

What Results Should You Expect From Treatment?

Since every man is unique, those using testosterone replacement therapy often see different results. However, many men notice a big improvement in their mood, sex drive, and energy levels. They also report better muscle mass, more responsive insulin levels, and stronger bones.

How To Get Testosterone Replacement Therapy?

If you're a man showing signs of low testosterone levels, a doctor will first review your medical history and carry out some lab and physical tests. Based on these, they'll create a tailored plan for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) that suits your needs. However, you'll need a prescription from your doctor to start the TRT treatment.

Patches

Testosterone transdermal patches are stuck directly onto the skin and should be used simultaneously each night, left on for 24 hours. Remember to change the patch location every seven days to prevent skin irritation.

Capsules (Clomiphene Citrate)

Testosterone capsules are pill forms of testosterone usually given to treat low testosterone in both younger and older men. They are often the last choice for patients who can't use other forms of testosterone, like injections. It's important to talk to your doctor about the downsides and what you might expect from using testosterone pills.

Boosters

Testosterone boosters are medicines and supplements that often include zinc, d-aspartic acid, and DHEA. These are designed to help men increase their testosterone levels, muscle mass, and sex drive. While some testosterone supplements can be bought without a prescription, you should always consult with a qualified hormone specialist before buying them. To make sure you get a safe and effective product, only buy testosterone boosters if you have a prescription from your doctor.

Exploring The Range Of Testosterone Treatments We Provide

At Androgenix, we use both bioidentical and synthetic hormones that act like male testosterone for treatment. We provide various methods of TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) for men, which include:

Creams/Gels

Testosterone cream and gels are rubbed directly onto the skin (typically on the shoulders, upper arms, or abdomen). This allows the body to absorb and slowly maintain stable testosterone levels in the blood. As different brands of gel contain varying amounts of testosterone, your doctor will first give you a specific prescription that suits your needs, helping you choose the right testosterone gel.

Injections

Testosterone replacement therapy injections generally use testosterone in a liquid form meant for intramuscular injections, available in 100 mg and 200 mg vials. Doctors might prescribe various types of testosterone for injection treatments, but testosterone cypionate is the most commonly used.

Based on your medical history, your doctor at Androgenix will decide on the most suitable testosterone treatment for you.

Understanding The Risks Involved

Like all medications, testosterone replacement therapy can raise the risk of certain medical conditions, including:

• Sleep apnea
  
  
• Higher chance of having a stroke
  
  
• High blood pressure
  
  
• Worsening urinary problems
  
  
• Polycythemia (an increase in haemoglobin concentration)

It's important to talk about the potential risks, your medical history, and any other medications you're taking with a TRT doctor near you before starting testosterone replacement therapy injections as a long-term treatment.
