Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is an important treatment option for men suffering from low testosterone levels, also known as hypogonadism or andropause. As men age, testosterone levels naturally decline, leading to symptoms like low energy, decreased muscle mass, low libido, erectile dysfunction, and depressed mood. Thankfully, testosterone replacement therapy can safely and effectively relieve these symptoms and help men regain their vitality.
Rejuvenate Hormone Clinic offers cutting-edge testosterone replacement therapy at our hormone clinic in Kent. Our experienced medical team will perform a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation and customize a treatment plan using bioidentical hormones to restore healthy testosterone levels. TRT can improve energy, mood, sexual function, cognitive ability, muscle mass, motivation, body composition, and quality of life. With Rejuvenate Hormone Clinic' state-of-the-art therapies, men in Kent can regain the vigor of their youth.
Testosterone replacement therapy provides many benefits for men with low testosterone:
The first step is accurate diagnosis through comprehensive lab testing and clinical evaluation. Symptoms of low testosterone can be vague and overlap with other conditions. Rejuvenate Hormone Clinic will order blood tests to measure total testosterone, free testosterone, and other hormone levels and assess clinical signs and symptoms.
The most important lab test is total testosterone. Normal total testosterone levels are generally between 300 ng/dL to 1,000 ng/dL. Results below 300 ng/dL indicate hypogonadism. Low free testosterone can also contribute to deficiency even if total testosterone is in the normal range.
Rejuvenate Hormone Clinic also evaluates factors that affect testosterone levels and screens for conditions that mimic low testosterone like hypothyroidism, pituitary disorders, high cortisol, and nutrient deficiencies. Diagnostic testing provides a complete picture to guide individualized treatment plans.
Once low testosterone is diagnosed, Rejuvenate Hormone Clinic will determine the optimal testosterone regimen based on the patient's health history, goals, and preferences.
Testosterone injections are often the first line treatment, administered weekly or biweekly to maintain steady testosterone levels. Injections provide the highest increase in testosterone.
Testosterone gels provide daily topical administration. Gels deliver testosterone transdermally and stabilize levels with daily application.
Testosterone pellets are bio-identical hormone pellets implanted under the skin every 3-6 months for sustained release of testosterone. Pellets maintain stable long-term testosterone levels.
Oral testosterone capsules can also be considered, although they can affect the liver. close medical monitoring is recommended.
Follow-up blood work and dose adjustments will be performed periodically to optimize treatment. Most men notice improvements in symptoms within 3-6 weeks as testosterone levels normalize.
Many people don't realize that testosterone clinics can actually help women as well as men. While testosterone therapy is commonly associated with older men looking to regain vigor, women with low testosterone levels can also benefit from hormone replacement therapy at a testosterone clinic. When prescribed and monitored properly, testosterone therapy can help relieve symptoms like low energy, poor concentration, and reduced sex drive in both sexes.
To maximize the benefits of testosterone replacement therapy, Rejuvenate Hormone Clinic recommends adopting healthy lifestyle habits to support hormonal balance:
-Exercise regularly- Physical activity promotes testosterone production and supports muscle growth. Aim for moderate exercise most days of the week.
-Lose excess weight- Being overweight or obese disrupts hormones. Shedding extra pounds can increase testosterone.
-Reduce stress- High stress drives up cortisol, which lowers testosterone. Relaxation practices like meditation help normalize hormones.
-Get adequate sleep- Poor sleep decreases testosterone. Follow good sleep hygiene and get 7-9 hours nightly.
-Limit alcohol- Chronic drinking raises estrogen and lowers testosterone. Moderate alcohol intake to 1-2 drinks daily maximum.
-Manage chronic health conditions- Diseases like obesity, diabetes, and heart disease negatively impact hormones. Work closely with your healthcare providers.
Adopting healthy habits enhances the benefits of TRT while promoting overall wellbeing. Rejuvenate Hormone Clinic also offers nutritional supplements to support healthy testosterone levels.
