Low testosterone, also known as hypogonadism or "low T," is a common issue that affects millions of men. As testosterone levels decline, men may experience various symptoms including:
Fatigue and Low Energy - Men with low testosterone often feel drained of energy and struggle to make it through the day. Simple tasks become exhausting.
Decreased Sex Drive - Low libido and erectile dysfunction are telltale signs of insufficient testosterone. Men lose interest in sex and have difficulty getting or sustaining erections.
Loss of Muscle Mass - Testosterone fuels muscle growth and maintenance. With deficient levels, men notice muscle loss and thinning despite diet and exercise.
Weight Gain - Low T disrupts metabolism making it nearly impossible to lose the excess fat that accumulates around the waist and midsection.
Hair Loss - Testosterone strengthens hair follicles keeping men thick and youthful. As levels drop, hair falls out and men experience male pattern baldness.
Depression - Insufficient testosterone causes fatigue but also mood instability. Men feel more irritable, angry, and withdrawn which takes a toll on relationships.
Lack of Focus - The inability to concentrate makes completing work and tasks challenging for men with hypogonadism. Simple things become mentally draining.
If these symptoms sound familiar, low testosterone may be diminishing your vitality. The next step is getting a diagnosis.
Given the variety of low T symptoms, only blood work can definitively determine if hormone levels are low. At Vital Hormones Clinic we conduct a comprehensive test panel including:
Diagnostic blood work is quick and convenient. Vital Hormones Clinic partners with several local labs if testing is not performed on-site. We also accept recent results from another physician.
Every man experiences low testosterone differently. That's why Vital Hormones Clinic custom tailors a treatment protocol to your symptoms, medical history, diagnostic results, lifestyle and goals.
Testosterone medication comes in several forms including injections, gels, pellets and oral capsules. Our physicians work closely with each patient to determine which option(s) can restore levels effectively.
Some men need short-acting medications like daily gels or nightly injections to keep testosterone steady. Others do better on long-acting pellets implanted every 3-6 months. Oral capsules may suit men who prefer not to apply gels or self inject. We thoughtfully consider all factors for your unique protocol.
Every patient also receives follow-up blood work and consultations so we can modify the treatment plan if needed. Our commitment is helping you feel healthy, energetic and thriving once again. We remain partners in your therapy long-term.
