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!

How do I know if I have low testosterone?

If you are a male and concerned about low testosterone, you will want to be aware of the symptoms of this condition in order to know when it has become an issue. Men with low testosterone may note the following concerns:

  • Decreased sex drive
  • Erectile dysfunction 
  • Fatigue and decreased energy levels
  • Loss of muscle mass 
  • Increased body fat 
  • Mood changes, such as irritability or depression
  • Difficulty concentrating 
  • Hair loss 
  • Changes in sleep patterns

These symptoms may also indicate other medical or health concerns, so it is best that you work with your primary care provider to get a proper diagnosis of your hormone imbalance and ensure that you get the proper treatment for these issues.

What is testosterone replacement therapy?

Dr. Oriaku offers testosterone replacement therapy to help men with this concern. Testosterone replacement therapy is described best as a medical treatment that involves replacing the testosterone hormones in your body. This can be done through various methods, including injections, topical gels or patches, and oral medications.

Why is testosterone important for men?

Testosterone is an essential hormone for men as it plays a crucial role in their overall health and well-being. It is most responsible for maintaining bone density, muscle mass, and red blood cell production. Testosterone also affects sexual function and energy levels in men. Men who have proper hormone balance will enjoy a better quality of life overall, ensuring a happy, healthy lifestyle every day!
