WONDERING IF YOU NEED TESTOSTERONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY?
Testosterone imbalances impact men in many different ways: anxiety, depression, low sex drive, weight gain, loss of muscle mass, and chronic fatigue are just a few of the symptoms you may experience if you have less than optimal testosterone levels.
But, there is a solution. Personalized testosterone replacement therapy plans can bring your body back to performing at its best. Our caring staff and experienced doctors can restore your health and vitality.
WHO NEEDS TESTOSTERONE REPLACEMENT?
No one should ever self-diagnose low testosterone or low T. Even doctors will often test your blood twice to assure themselves of the accurateness of the testosterone levels found in your blood. If you haven’t been diagnosed, the doctors at Matrix Hormones are more than adept at assessing patient testosterone levels and uncovering any underlying causes. For example, low testosterone levels could be just a symptom of a different problem such as a malfunctioning adrenal gland.
SYMPTOMS OF LOW TESTOSTERONE INCLUDE:
TESTING FOR LOW TESTOSTERONE.
HOW DO I KNOW MY RESULTS ARE ACCURATE?
The first concern in testing blood for low testosterone is whether the testosterone level you are exhibiting that day is indicative of your normal levels of testosterone. This is why doctors often draw blood on two separate occasions, allowing them to assess the validity of the results. If the two tests produce vastly different results, then a third would be needed to discern which results reflect your body’s normal levels.
Additionally, three forms of testosterone exist:
• Sexual Binding Globulin (SBGH), testosterone that isn’t available for use by the body
• Estradiol, testosterone that has undergone aromatization in the body, transforming it into estrogen
• Free Testosterone, testosterone that is available for use by the body
If your blood is being checked for overall testosterone levels to see if you need testosterone replacement therapy, your results may indicate a completely normal level of testosterone. However, only Free Testosterone is available for use by the body. The other two types have already been designated to fulfill certain roles. If your Free Testosterone levels are low, then Testosterone Therapy is certainly needed. In fact, the only type of testosterone available for use in injections and various treatment plans is Free Testosterone. Therefore, an overall analysis of your testosterone levels will not be indicative of whether you are experiencing low testosterone levels. Only a measurement of Free Testosterone will properly assess a need for testosterone treatments.
WHY DO MEN NEED TESTOSTERONE?
WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL?
Testosterone is a hormone chiefly produced within men’s testicles. This hormone plays a vital role in the overall function of the body. Testosterone is largely responsible for regulating the following:
• Bone density
• Fat distribution
• Muscle mass
• Muscle strength
• Facial hair
• Body hair
• Red blood cell production
• Sex drive
• Sperm production
THE EFFECT OF AGING ON TESTOSTERONE.
ISN’T IT ONLY NATURAL FOR TESTOSTERONE TO DECREASE AS YOU AGE?
The natural decline of testosterone as you age has almost fully become common knowledge. For some, they may even consider it common sense as they recall what they know of older gentlemen. However, though a natural decline in testosterone is to be expected. This decline should only drop about 1% a year after a man hits his 40’s and 50’s. Consequently, such a decline is almost negligible over the course of a year. Once a decade has passed, men might then note the decline in their sex drive or muscle mass. In addition, low testosterone is really only a concern when a man experiences a significant drop in testosterone levels within the span of a year. The symptoms that occur with such a drop will be sudden and startling. These men, though aware something is wrong, often don’t seek the help they need for a multitude of reasons.
Reasons for not Consulting a Professional:
• A belief that being depressed is leading to the loss of sex drive, motivation, and weight gain.
• Embarrassment of sharing problems performing in the bedroom with a doctor.
• The belief that seeking help, especially testosterone treatments, makes them somehow less of a man.
Regain Your Confidence
These reasons, of course, should not prevent you from seeking the help you need. Testosterone replacement therapy will give you back your confidence, your strength, and your physical performance. Whether you have already been diagnosed or suspect you need to be diagnosed, Matrix Hormones can properly assess your testosterone levels.
