Testosterone is an important hormone that regulates many processes in the male body. Over time, testosterone levels naturally decline with age, resulting in a condition called hypogonadism or low T. This can lead to various symptoms that negatively impact quality of life.
Low testosterone is typically diagnosed when levels fall below 300 ng/dL. Some common signs and symptoms include:
Early detection and treatment is key to regaining optimal health and improving symptoms. Balance & Renew Clinic offers comprehensive testosterone therapy to help men suffering from low T.
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) involves restoring testosterone levels through gels, injections, pellets or other delivery methods. When properly administered, TRT can provide remarkable benefits:
In summary, optimized testosterone levels translate to feeling healthier, performing better both physically and mentally, and simply enjoying life more.
The first step is having a thorough evaluation to confirm low testosterone. At Balance & Renew Clinic, we provide comprehensive lab testing and physical exams to accurately diagnose the underlying causes.
Some key lab tests we order include:
We also evaluate lifestyle factors like diet, sleep, stress, medications and family history during consultations. This holistic overview is vital for developing customized treatment plans.
If low T is confirmed, TRT can then be prescribed to restore healthy testosterone levels along with any other necessary hormones for optimal balance. Ongoing follow ups and lab testing ensures proper therapy administration for the best results.
Once diagnosed, TRT is tailored to the unique needs of each patient. We offer several proven medical protocols:
Testosterone injections are very effective, absorbed instantly and bypass the liver. Different esters determine the frequency, ranging from weekly to every 12 weeks.
Testosterone gels provide daily topical dosing. Creams, ointments and roll-on applicators directly deliver testosterone through the skin.
Testosterone pellets implanted under the skin supply steady hormone levels for 3-6 months without worrying about daily dosing. Pellets dissolve completely by the end of therapy.
Oral testosterone capsules can restore testosterone, however they may stress the liver. We carefully monitor liver function in men using this method.
HCG injections stimulate natural production of testosterone. Used with TRT, HCG maintains fertility and testicular form.
The dosing method depends on the patient’s lifestyle, preferences, costs and specific health circumstances. We guide patients through all aspects so therapy is safe, effective and affordable.
Low testosterone should never be ignored since untreated deficiency causes worsening unpleasant symptoms along with serious health risks over time including:
The good news is testosterone deficiency is highly treatable if detected early. Through TRT and optimizing all hormone levels, the age-related consequences of low T are largely reversible.
