Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) offers a safe and effective treatment for low testosterone levels in men. As an experienced hormone therapy clinic in Harrison, Hormone Revive provides customized testosterone treatments to help patients overcome unpleasant symptoms and reclaim their health.
Many men start experiencing a gradual decline in testosterone levels as they age. However, testosterone deficiency can occur at any age due to health conditions affecting the testes, pituitary gland, or hypothalamus.
Common signs and symptoms of low testosterone include:
If low testosterone levels are left untreated, symptoms tend to worsen over time. Ongoing fatigue, weakness, weight gain, and sexual dysfunction can profoundly impact a man's confidence, emotional health, relationships, and overall quality of life.
While many men ascribe declining vitality or sexual function to "normal aging", low testosterone should never be ignored or left untreated. Not only do symptoms greatly impair quality of life, but testosterone deficiency over the long run can lead to increased risk of obesity, cardiovascular disease, brittle bones (osteoporosis), and other medical conditions.
By accurately diagnosing the root hormonal imbalance through comprehensive lab testing and medical evaluation, our experienced clinicians develop customized treatment plans to alleviate deficiency symptoms and reduce long term health risks.
TRT provides patients the tremendous benefits of:
There is no single test result or symptom that definitively indicates low testosterone. Our medical team conducts a thorough physical exam, medical history review, symptom assessment, and panel of blood tests to accurately diagnose whether hormone imbalance is present.
We evaluate total testosterone blood serum levels along with indicators of free testosterone (the bioavailable form). Results are compared against reference ranges adjusted for patient age.
Our standard lab panel includes:
Reviewing multiple hormone indicators and factors influencing testosterone synthesis enables our clinicians to obtain the clearest picture of patients’ hormone balance or imbalance. Follow up testing helps monitor patient progress once TRT is initiated.
TRT therapy involves medical administration of testosterone via injection, transdermal gels or patches, or pellets implanted under the skin to restore healthy testosterone levels. Treatment is carefully tailored and monitored through follow up blood work and symptom reviews to meet individual patient needs.
The process of beginning TRT therapy includes:
Initial Consultation and Diagnostic Evaluation
Review of Blood Test Results and Development of Custom Treatment Plan
In Office Exam Prior to First Treatment Administration
Administering Initial TRT Dose Under Clinical Supervision
We carefully monitor patient progress through:
Follow up clinical visits are scheduled:
The frequency enables knowledgeable adjustment for optimal therapeutic benefits. We partner with patients long term to ensure lasting relief of troublesome deficiency symptoms and related health risks.
There are several safe and effective options for administering supplemental testosterone. Our medical team will collaborate with patients to determine the optimal modality.
Testosterone gels are applied daily to upper arms, shoulders or abdomen enabling consistent absorption via the skin over 24 hours. Gels available in pump dispensers or packets have a pleasing light scent and dry quickly without irritation for most patients.
Advantages may include: Convenience of daily self-administration at home following 1-2 clinical trainings; steady maintenance of testosterone blood levels; dosing flexibility with easy adjustment as needed
With this approach, custom compounded testosterone pellets are surgically inserted under the skin through a quick office procedure. The pellets steadily release hormones granting stabilized blood levels for 3-6 months without requiring daily application.
Advantages may include: Most stable long term testosterone levels; avoiding frequent self-administration; highest patient compliance once pellets implanted
Many patients opt for direct testosterone injections into the gluteal muscle at 1-2 week intervals to rapidly increase T levels. Injections occasionally administered in clinic later transition to convenient self-injections at home following instruction.
Potential benefits include: Closely mimicking the body’s natural testosterone production; avoiding skin irritation of gels; peak testosterone surge shortly after administering
Adopting healthy lifestyle habits provides important support for TRT’s full benefits. Our clinicians offer personalized recommendations that may help patients including:
