Low Testosterone

Low Testosterone

Testosterone is an essential hormone that plays a vital role in male sexual development and fertility.

Fortunately, there are several treatments for low-T including lifestyle changes and hormone replacement therapy. Testosterone therapy may result in improvements in erectile function, low sex drive, anemia, bone density, lean body mass, or depressive symptoms. Testosterone replacement can be administered in a variety of different ways such as gels, injections, or hormone pellets. The choice of treatment depends on the patient’s individual case and personal preferences. In addition, it is important to note that there is an absence of evidence linking testosterone therapy to the development of prostate cancer.

 

If you start testosterone therapy, your testosterone levels should be measured every 6-12 months and must be obtained prior to prescription refills. In addition, we may request that you donate blood while you are on therapy based on these lab results.
