Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)

What is Low Testosterone?

Low Testosterone (Low-T) is a men’s sexual health condition. Low-T is most commonly recognized by the symptoms that it causes from breast growth to loss of sex drive. For men’s bodies to function properly, they need certain amounts of testosterone. If their testosterone level is low, it can mean that they have a more serious health condition causing the decreased hormone, or it can simply be the result of normal aging. It’s important to seek medical counsel to make sure you’re not dealing with a more serious, underlying health issue.

Testosterone is a naturally produced hormone that men need to experience healthy living. If a man doesn’t have the right amount of testosterone, he can end up having more serious health conditions along with just a general decrease in wellbeing. With Low-T, he may have trouble having sex, building muscle, maintaining energy, etc. Thankfully, there are treatments available that can help men get back their health. A medical professional can implement a standard blood test, discuss the man’s symptoms, and then present treatment options.

Aging is one of the primary causes of Low-T. As a man gets older, his body will typically begin producing less and less testosterone. Even though levels may continue to drop with age, it doesn’t automatically mean that a man will have a Low-T problem. But, in most cases, lower testosterone levels do result in various Low-T symptoms. Thankfully, there are multiple treatments available that can help get your testosterone levels back to normal allowing for greater energy, sex drive, muscle growth, and wellbeing.

By implementing a basic blood test, a medical professional can determine testosterone level. Looking at the level number and assessing the symptoms present, a men’s sexual health specialist can help identify a Low-T diagnosis and treatment options.

The two primary treatments for Low-T are hormone therapy and hormone replacement. These therapies can help get a man’s testosterone level back to “normal.” At the Tennessee Men’s Clinic, our team is made up of experienced, men’s sexual health specialists who help men suffering with Low-T to take back their health.
