Types of Testosterone Therapies

Testosterone therapy can be done using an array of methods.

How to Tell if You Have Low Testosterone

Normal Testosterone Levels in Men

Through the natural process of aging, men experience a loss of testosterone. As testosterone levels decrease, it can lead to an array of symptoms.

A man will normally have total testosterone levels that range from 350-1000 nano-grams per deciliter. However, there is also a measure known as free testosterone, which encompasses the number of hormones that are active in the body at any given time. In some cases, a man may have normal total testosterone levels but suffer from Low T symptoms if his free testosterone levels are low.

Testosterone levels between 350 ng/dL and 1,100 ng/dL are referred to as “normal” range. This is a wide range and their is a lot of variability among individuals. Men who once had a peak testosterone level of 1000 ng/dl will likely experience severe symptoms at 500ng/dl. Therapeutic levels, the levels that allow for optimal well being, are generally on the higher end and not found in many men over the age of 40-50. In fact, men in their 30s and 40s are often deficient and feel the results of sub optimal levels and low T.

Symptoms of Low Testosterone

Low testosterone is linked to many symptoms, which can vary in severity and cause a man’s quality of life to significantly decline.

Low testosterone symptoms include:

Low libido
Erectile dysfunction
Brain Fog
Fatigue
Hair loss
Decreased muscle mass
Depression
And more

Finding the Right Testosterone Therapy Treatment

Testosterone Injections vs. Gels and Patches

The proper method of testosterone delivery for you is a matter for your physician to determine; however, many find that some gels tend to be messy and less convenient than other treatment modalities. In addition, there can be a risk of unintentional transmittal to children or others with whom you may have physical contact with the use of gels. Testosterone patches can create a significant rash at the site of application, or do not stick well, especially in the summer months. Experience has shown that gels and patches may require dosage adjustments to obtain medically appropriate blood concentrations and some patients may never absorb enough testosterone from gels or patches to improve symptoms. These modalities often have a higher conversion to less desirable hormones in the process of transfer through the skin. Intramuscular testosterone injections are a good choice for some men because of their more reliable clinical effectiveness and convenience.

Testosterone Injection Therapy vs. Testosterone Pellet Therapy

We find testosterone pellet therapy to be the most consistent, effective, long lasting and reliable form of replacement therapy, but some men do not prefer this method and elect to receive testosterone injections instead. Testosterone injections are the next best choice. We offer weekly injection therapy customized to meet your individual needs and treat your deficiency.

What Is the Difference Between Testosterone Therapy and Performance-Enhancing Steroids?

While some athletes may use anabolic steroids which contain testosterone, these steroids often contain very high doses and are mixed with other substances. Testosterone therapy only contains natural levels of hormones, making it a safe and effective treatment for Low T.
