Testosterone is an essential hormone that plays a vital role in men's health and wellbeing. As men age, testosterone levels naturally decline, leading to a condition known as hypogonadism or low testosterone. Signs and symptoms of low testosterone may include:
While some diminishment of testosterone is expected with aging, an abnormally low level can significantly impact quality of life. Thankfully there are options available to treat clinically low testosterone.
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can provide immense relief to men suffering from hypogonadism. When properly administered under medical supervision, TRT may lead to wide-ranging benefits:
Improved Sex Drive and Function
Many men report increased sexual desire, frequency of sexual activity, and satisfaction after beginning testosterone treatment. TRT also helps counter erectile dysfunction by promoting blood flow.
Increased Energy and Mood
By restoring testosterone to youthful levels, men often feel more energetic, motivated and positive. Testosterone has a beneficial impact on mental health.
Gain of Muscle Mass
Testosterone is responsible for building and maintaining muscle tissue. TRT enables easier muscle growth with proper diet and strength training. Loss of muscle associated with low testosterone can be reversed.
Decreased Body Fat
Testosterone facilitates fat loss, particularly troublesome belly fat, by ramping up metabolism. Men on TRT often slim down even without major lifestyle changes.
Stronger Bones
Adequate testosterone promotes bone density and strength, reducing risk of osteoporosis.
Overall Wellness
Balanced testosterone levels simply help men function at their best physically and cognitively. Confidence and quality of life improve dramatically.
Many symptoms of low testosterone are non-specific, mimicking natural aging or other medical conditions. A simple blood test is required to accurately measure testosterone level and determine if TRT is appropriate.
At our Markham men’s health clinic, we conduct thorough lab testing and medical exams tailored to the individual patient’s health profile and goals. Diagnostic steps typically include:
Testing is quick and convenient through local labs. We help patients understand results and whether pharmaceutical or lifestyle interventions are most appropriate.
Wellness Hormone Clinic utilizes advanced hormone testing and the latest medical research to personalize testosterone replacement regimens that are safe, effective and meet patient goals.
Our experienced physicians and staff oversee all aspects of therapy:
We offer a variety of proven testosterone administration routes:
Testosterone Injections remain the gold standard, providing measurable doses directly into the bloodstream through subcutaneous injections done at home 1-2 times weekly. Peak testosterone levels are reached shortly after injecting. Brand options include testosterone cypionate, testosterone enanthate and testosterone propionate.
Testosterone Pellets release steady testosterone over 3-6 months through rice-sized implants placed under the skin during a brief in-office procedure. Avoiding frequent injections is a plus for many patients.
Testosterone Gels provide daily topical testosterone directly through the skin. Gels include Androgel, Testim and others supplying adjustable testosterone levels without needles.
Other TRT Drugs - Oral capsules, buccal patches and nasal gels offer alternatives to boost falling testosterone counts.
Wellness Hormone Clinic doctors closely track progress and make changes as needed to realize patient goals safely. We also provide helpful guidance on diet, exercise and lifestyle for optimal testosterone therapy results.
If suffering symptoms of low testosterone, prompt medical attention is strongly advised. Untreated testosterone deficiency poses significant short and long-term health risks including:
In addition to disease vulnerability, living with chronically low testosterone severely impacts energy, mood, sexual function and overall vitality.
Thankfully risks are largely avoidable through early detection and proper hormone correction under a doctor’s care. At Wellness Hormone Clinic Markham, restoring testosterone is our specialty.
Optimizing male hormonal balance is complex given the intricate workings of the endocrine system. Hormone levels fluctuate daily and seasonally. Testosterone interacts closely with estrogen, thyroid, cortisol and other hormones for optimal function.
Therefore cookie cutter therapy rarely succeeds long-term.
