How testosterone replacement therapy can help with low hormone levels
Testosterone is best described as the male sex hormone, although it is present in both males and females. It plays a crucial role in developing male reproductive tissues such as the testes and prostate. It also promotes secondary sexual characteristics, including increased muscle mass, body hair, and a deeper voice. However, it is not uncommon that, as a sign of aging, testosterone levels begin to imbalance. This can result in certain symptoms that can be problematic to one’s daily life. When an imbalance is present, men can work with providers like Dr. Obinna C. Oriaku of Eden MedSpa in Charlotte, North Carolina, to learn more about our testosterone replacement therapy and how it can restore balance in hormone levels and significantly improve one’s quality of life!
