As men age, testosterone levels naturally decline. This can lead to hypogonadism, or low testosterone (low T). This hormonal imbalance manifests in various ways, including decreased libido, reduced muscle mass, fatigue, mood swings, and cognitive decline. Left untreated, it can significantly impact a man's overall well-being.
Recognizing the warning signs is crucial for timely intervention. Common symptoms include:

Endocrine Wellness Institute offers various TRT delivery methods:
Small testosterone pellets are inserted under the skin, releasing a steady dose over months, reducing the need for frequent injections or daily applications. Advantages include consistent testosterone levels, convenience, and improved adherence.
Topical formulations provide controlled, sustained testosterone release through the skin. They offer convenient and discreet administration, with personalized dosing and flexibility.
A proven and effective method, injectable testosterone therapy requires professional administration and monitoring for dosage adjustments and patient response.
Accurate diagnosis and ongoing monitoring are crucial for successful TRT.
This includes detailed medical history, physical examinations, and comprehensive blood work to identify potential underlying causes of hormone deficiency and rule out other factors.
| Test | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Total Testosterone | Measures total testosterone levels in the bloodstream. |
| Free Testosterone | Measures the biologically active, unbound portion of testosterone. |
| Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG) | Assesses the protein that binds to testosterone, affecting its bioavailability. |
| Luteinizing Hormone (LH) | Regulates testosterone production. |
| Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) | Regulates testosterone production. |
Regular blood tests monitor testosterone levels, symptom alleviation, side effects, and overall health markers, enabling necessary dosage adjustments.
Healthy lifestyle practices enhance TRT benefits and overall well-being.

|---|---|
| TRT causes prostate cancer. | Numerous studies show no link between TRT and increased prostate cancer risk in men without pre-existing issues. |
| Testosterone therapy is only for older men. | Younger men can also experience low testosterone levels. |
| TRT is unsafe and has severe side effects. | When properly administered and monitored, TRT is generally safe and well-tolerated. |
