Think you might have low testosterone — low T? As you age, your testosterone levels naturally decline, but for some men, the drop is significant enough to cause bothersome symptoms, from energy levels and libido to mood and cognitive function.
Low T can make you feel like you don’t recognize yourself, but the good news is that you have treatment options. At Advanced Urology, we offer hormone replacement to help balance your testosterone levels and restore health and vitality. Here’s how it works.
Testosterone is a key hormone responsible for male physical characteristics and functions, including muscle growth, bone density, and sex drive. And while it’s normal for your hormone levels to fluctuate, testosterone levels that drop too far below the normal range can trigger a range of unpleasant symptoms, like:
Low T can happen with aging, medical conditions, and lifestyle factors like stress and obesity — and it can leave you feeling unlike yourself. The good news? Hormone therapy could be the solution to restoring your sense of well-being.
Hormone therapy involves supplementing your body’s natural hormone levels to bring them back into balance. We offer customized treatment through various methods, including injections, patches, gels, or implants.
Because hormone therapy boosts your testosterone levels, it can help alleviate symptoms like fatigue and low libido, as well as improve your overall mood, mental clarity, and physical stamina.
Since testosterone has a major impact on your sexual health, one of the most immediate benefits of testosterone therapy is an improvement in sex drive and sexual performance. It can even help treat erectile dysfunction (ED) caused by hormonal imbalance.
Hormone therapy also helps restore your energy levels and overall vitality. It helps boost muscle mass and physical endurance, making daily tasks easier and workouts more effective.
With hormone treatment, many men report a more positive mood and better mental focus. Low T can contribute to feelings of depression and irritability, but restoring hormonal balance also helps restore your mental well-being.
If the symptoms of low T sound familiar to you, the first step is a consultation with a health care provider specializing in hormone therapy. Our team at Advanced Urology can evaluate your symptoms and conduct a simple blood test to identify low testosterone levels.
If you’re diagnosed with low testosterone, we’ll talk with you about your treatment options. Hormone replacement therapy might be right for you if you’re bothered by severe symptoms, and we work with you to develop a treatment plan that fits your needs.
During treatment, you have regular checkups to make sure the therapy is effective. We can adjust your dose as needed to maintain optimal results and minimize side effects.
Living with low testosterone can take a toll on your health, your confidence, and your daily life. Hormone therapy offers a path forward, and it might be the solution you’re seeking to start feeling like yourself again.
