Testosterone Is a Male Sex Hormone
Testosterone is a sex hormone that is important for men as it is the bio-chemical responsible for most sexual characteristics in men. In other words, testosterone is the “male sex hormone.” It is also the substance responsible for giving men the physical traits most often associated with being a man– body and facial hair, a deep voice, bigger/stronger muscles and more. During puberty, testosterone will help build muscle, deepens a male’s voice, and increase the size of their testes and penis. During adulthood, testosterone will keep a man’s muscle and bones strong and provides men with their sex drive or libido.
Men’s testosterone levels usually peak in their late teens and then, unfortunately, decreases after the age of 28-30.
Most men start experiencing a slow and steady drop in their testosterone at a rate of 1- 2% a year
When a man reaches 40, he will have a significantly lower level and if left untreated, will experience a myriad of unwanted symptoms. A decline in libido and sex drive typically occurs when “T” levels fall. Many men chalk this up to just the natural part of aging and getting older. However, there are solutions!
Testosterone Replacement Therapy or TRT is a form of hormone replacement when your hormone levels are supplemented with bio-identical testosterone. This is then brought to a therapeutic level that is within normal ranges. This is typically between 300 to 1100 for adult men. An expert at our office will work with you to effectively increase your “T” levels and you will begin to feel more vibrant and healthier! Testosterone Replacement Therapy is usually prescribed to counter the symptoms of male hypogonadism or andropause, also called Low T. It’s most commonly administered either by injection or by use of skin creams and gels containing testosterone. However, some men opt for testosterone pellets or patches
