Low testosterone in men can cause a myriad of unfavorable symptoms that many people pass off as “normal aging”. However, studies show that low testosterone is to blame. This is thought to affect >5 million men in the United States alone. We can help you achieve balanced testosterone levels quickly. When was the last time you had your levels tested?

SIGNS OF LOW
TESTOSTERONE

  • Fatigue

  • Slow muscle growth

  • Erectile dysfunction

  • Foggy train of thought

  • Rapid weight gain

  • Depression

DID YOU KNOW?

Over the past 20 years, studies show that men’s testosterone has decreased in society by 20%-25% resulting in a variety of symptoms. It is also estimated that 1 in 4 men are experiencing lower than average testosterone levels. It is unknown why this is occurring but experts believe it is likely secondary to the estrogenic effects of plastics and ingredients in processed foods and cosmetics. Our environment may have more impact as to what truly makes a man than we ever thought before!

LOW TESTOSTERONE DIAGNOSIS

Tri-City Men’s Health evaluates the whole individual via a thorough assessment, the symptoms the individual is experiencing and tertiary studies to include lab values and trended vitals.  We will test your total and free testosterone along with a complete hormonal, metabolic and hematological profile to establish a very complete clinical picture.  If symptoms are consistent with Low T, treatment can begin immediately. 

The normal total testosterone level is very broad and ranges between 300ng/dl to 1100ng/dl.  Testosterone ranges differ between the labs drawn and are often based off population averages.  For example, 30 year old male can have a level of 350ng/dl and is considered to be in the “normal range,” this is the average testosterone level of an 85 year old!  If this 30 year old male has symptoms consistent with low T then testosterone replacement therapy could be very beneficial and truly change his quality of life!

LOW TESTOSTERONE TREATMENT

Treatment is tailored to each individual based off presenting symptoms, testosterone levels, desired fertility, estrogen levels, and a variety of other factors that will be discussed during your initial and follow up visits. 

For a majority of patients, testosterone replacement therapy is the treatment of choice. Testosterone replacement therapy can restore testosterone levels to the optimal range and help reverse common symptoms of aging men.

Testosterone is administered either through injections or topical creams based off patient preference, finances, and desired outcomes. Injections can be performed in the clinic until individuals feel comfortable injecting themselves at home.

TCMH’s treatment of choice is twice a week subcutaneous injections. These are typically injected into the abdominal fat. It is very easy and usually is painless!
