How do I know if I can benefit from low testosterone treatment?

Testosterone is a hormone that men produce naturally. Production levels spike during puberty and hold steady during young adulthood. By late middle age, most men experience a natural decline in production levels, which can lead to various changes. 

Some of the changes you might notice if your testosterone production is waning include:

• Reduced sex drive
• Erectile dysfunction
• Infertility
• Loss of body hair
• Loss of muscle mass
• Shrinking testicles
• Brain fog
• Depressed mood
• Loss of athletic endurance

Testosterone plays a critical role in your sexual health, but low levels can also affect your cognitive health, red blood cell production, bone density, and the way you feel throughout each day. 

How long does it take to see results from low testosterone treatment?

Texas Premier Physicians offers bioidentical hormone replacement therapy as the primary treatment for low testosterone. The process begins with blood testing to determine your current hormone levels. This step allows your practitioner to develop a customized approach that uses synthetic hormones to supplement your natural hormones. Bioidentical hormones are made from plant sources and closely mimic natural testosterone. 

While some men experience immediate improvements in specific symptoms, it usually takes several months for the full results of testosterone therapy to develop. Tracking how your body responds can help your provider adjust your treatment accordingly. 

Be patient, and know that you have the complete guidance and support of your health team as you move through the hormone replacement therapy process. The improvements possible through bioidentical hormone replacement therapy are well worth the wait. 

Is low testosterone treatment safe?

Decades of research and development support today’s hormone replacement therapy. Under the guidance of trained medical professionals, testosterone therapy is both safe and effective. 

Your provider works with you to help restore optimal testosterone levels and offers general health services to help you reduce your risk of chronic disease and live a healthy, active, and fulfilling life.
