Low Testosterone

Hormone Replacement Therapy

While we are at our most alive and energetic stage of life, we are adequately supplied with the essential hormones that launch a healthy body function. Hormones act as the messengers that initiate our bodies’ processes such as cell growth, metabolism, mood stabilization, maintenance of restorative sleep, and much more. If you are experiencing an imbalance or deficiency in any of your key hormones, you could experience mood swings, cognitive deficiencies, muscle loss, hair loss, sexual dysfunction, and changes to your sleep pattern, among other symptoms that negatively impact your quality of life and health. If this is the case, you may consider hormone replacement therapy at Medsmart.

TRT – Low Testosterone Therapy works to replenish your
testosterone back to an optimal level for you, and maintain them at a

release growth hormone. These two peptides are rich in amino acids,
and will help with decreasing body fat and increasing lean body mass.

Low Sexual Desire
If you are experiencing a decreased sex drive, or libido, there are a number of issues that could be causing this problem. However, when combined with a number of other symptoms listed below, this could be an indication of low testosterone.

Erectile Dysfunction
Along with a decreased libido, erectile dysfunction can be a very significant and impactful symptom of low testosterone levels and may be an indication that testosterone replacement therapy is right for you.

Decreased Muscle Mass and Strength
If you are experiencing an inexplicable loss of muscle mass and/or strength, this could be the result of male hypogonadism that could be corrected with testosterone replacement therapy. This can be especially difficult when another symptom is chronic fatigue.

Increased Body Fat
Along with decreased muscle mass, men with low testosterone may also experience an increase in body fat that can also lead to things like chronic fatigue, self-consciousness, and depression, along with a decrease in strength and a number of other adverse effects.

Fatigue and Low Energy Levels
Chronic fatigue can be a significant symptom for men with low testosterone and can have a major impact on your life as you try to push through each day while suffering this pervasive effect on your own.

Depression
Depression can be a symptom of low testosterone levels, and can equally be the result of experiencing the rest of the symptoms that we have listed. Regardless, your suffering of all kinds can be reduced through testosterone therapy so that you can take your life back and get back to enjoying it the way you did before.

Irritability
It is no surprise that you would be irritable after suffering the aforementioned symptoms, but it may also be a direct symptom of your low testosterone levels, as well. Once we begin our testosterone therapy we will be able to target the symptoms and provide you with testosterone treatment intended to address each of them.

Body and Facial Hair Loss
Male hypogonadism can lead to a loss of body and facial hair, as well, as your testosterone level drops. Testosterone therapy can help to reverse your hair loss in many instances, and we will develop a specific course to help with this symptom.

Difficulty Concentrating
It may be no surprise to hear that men with low testosterone levels also suffer from difficulty concentrating in addition to the symptoms that we have already mentioned. Once we being our testosterone therapy, you may find that this symptom alleviates itself fairly quickly.

Testosterone replacement therapy is a lifelong treatment because your body has stopped naturally producing testosterone. However, we will not simply provide you with a treatment plan and let you go on by yourself indefinitely – as you age, as other conditions and issues may arise, and as your physical health shifts, we may need to adjust the dosage, delivery systems, and more. We will work closely with you to ensure that you are taking the appropriate levels of testosterone so that you have optimal results and maximum benefits while being able to comfortably take this hormone every day. 

There is no set timeframe before you will be able to start seeing improvements, but according to a peer-reviewed paper published by the European Journal of Endocrinology titled “Onset of effects of testosterone treatment and time span until maximum effects are achieved,” 

Effects on sexual interest appear after 3 weeks plateauing at 6 weeks, with no further increments expected beyond. Changes in erections/ejaculations may require up to 6 months. Effects on quality of life manifest within 3–4 weeks, but maximum benefits take longer. Effects on depressive mood become detectable after 3–6 weeks with a maximum after 18–30 weeks. Effects on erythropoiesis are evident at 3 months, peaking at 9–12 months. Prostate-specific antigen and volume rise, marginally, plateauing at 12 months; further increase should be related to aging rather than therapy. Effects on lipids appear after 4 weeks, maximal after 6–12 months. Insulin sensitivity may improve within a few days, but effects on glycemic control become evident only after 3–12 months. Changes in fat mass, lean body mass, and muscle strength occur within 12–16 weeks, stabilize at 6–12 months, but can marginally continue over years. Effects on inflammation occur within 3–12 weeks. Effects on bone are detectable already after 6 months while continuing at least for 3 years.

Of course, your results will vary depending on your specific body chemistry and physical factors, but we will work closely with you as you begin to experience the positive effects of your testosterone replacement therapy.

Under no circumstances should you ever buy pills provided by non-medical entities that claim to increase testosterone levels in your body. Your testosterone replacement therapy treatment is uniquely customized to your body and will be administered under the close guidance of a medical professional. If you take an over the counter pill that claims to do all of what medical testosterone therapy treatment can do, all without any intake, testing, or monitoring from a professional, you are likely putting yourself at risk of serious complications, or are being sold a placebo that will have no impact on you whatsoever. Regardless of the possible outcomes, you should never take medication or a pill that you can buy directly which claims to solve the problems of low testosterone.

Human Growth Hormone Therapy

As we age, our bodies go through a series of changes in many areas. From decreased energy to a slower metabolism, we expect to see a certain amount of loss in our body’s functionality. Human Growth Hormone (HGH) therapy can address the signs of aging for men and women.*

Bio-identical Hormone Therapy

Bio-identical Hormone Therapy for women can be a life-changing treatment option to return the body’s hormone levels to what they were before you ever started noticing a decline in your body’s functioning and overall wellness. Better yet, bio-identical hormone therapy is even more effective for women and the complex balance that make up your optimum hormone levels.*

Hormone Therapy for Men

Hormones act as “messengers” in the body, triggering critical functions such as metabolism, heart rate, sleep cycles, body temperature, and mood. As a result, hormone imbalance can appear in a variety of ways, making it difficult to spot. Aging, lifestyle, sickness, and environmental factors can all contribute to low testosterone levels.

Testosterone replacement therapy is a form of hormone therapy that can help restore the levels of testosterone your body produced in your younger years. This therapy can help you reclaim your vitality and hold onto those characteristics we typically associate with masculinity.* Don’t let age slow you down call us at Medsmart Wellness Centers
