Testosterone is an essential hormone for men's health and wellbeing. Over time, testosterone levels naturally decline with age - a condition known as hypogonadism or low T. Many men start experiencing signs and symptoms around their 40s and 50s such as:
If multiple symptoms persist for weeks or months, getting tested for low testosterone is highly recommended.
While prescription testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) was once controversial, current research shows replacing deficient levels in men over 30 can provide significant health benefits when properly managed under a doctor's care.
Restoring testosterone levels with TRT can dramatically improve several areas:
Restoring healthy testosterone levels can quite literally help men feel like themselves again with noticeable improvements in many areas affecting daily quality of life.
Getting tested is the only way to determine if hormone deficiency is causing symptoms. A simple blood test can measure total and free testosterone levels.
Based on results and evaluation of signs/symptoms, we may recommend TRT using FDA-approved medications when clinically appropriate.
Timing morning blood tests accurately identifies most cases of low T since levels peak in early hours then slowly decline through the day.
Testing should be covered by all major insurance plans but can range $100-200 out-of-pocket without coverage.
If blood tests confirm clinically low testosterone, TRT can be life-changing for many men.
