Men’s Hormone Replacement Evaluation

Rejuvenating Men’s Health With Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Testosterone is a naturally occurring hormone located in a man’s testicles that is responsible for many important parts of a man’s health. As we age, testosterone levels decrease, bringing unwanted side effects. If you think you may have low testosterone levels, we recommend scheduling an evaluation for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) with us. It’s quick and easy and performed from the comfort of our office, located in Salem, VA. Our goal is to help you feel like yourself again!

Andropause Symptoms

Feeling tired, uninterested in sexual activities or generally unmotivated? The reduction of testosterone that occurs as men age is called andropause and may indicate the need for testosterone replacement therapy. Though a normal part of aging, low testosterone can also be caused by health conditions such as obesity and diabetes. This decrease in testosterone levels may be accompanied by uncomfortable or frustrating side effects and symptoms, including:

  • Low energy
  • Depression or sadness
  • Insomnia
  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Low motivation levels
  • Reduced libido
  • Infertility
  • Weight Gain
  • Loss of muscle mass or feelings of weakness

What Is Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)?

Testosterone production is at its peak in teenagers and young men. It is the hormone responsible for muscle strength, body and facial hair, and a deep voice, as well as the creation of sperm, sexual function and prostate growth. As aging occurs and testosterone decreases, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can help improve the symptoms associated with low testosterone. TRT can help you feel stronger, more stable and more confident again!

How Does It Work?

Testosterone replacement therapy refers to testosterone that is prescribed and given in the form of injections, pellets, creams, patches or tablets. The hormone is vital to a man’s well-being and longevity and the male body needs the hormone to function properly. The treatment can help bring your hormone levels back into the healthy range, therefore reversing your symptoms.

Benefits Of Testosterone Replacement Therapy

TRT can improve specific symptoms as well as the overall quality of life in men who suffer from low testosterone. While patients may not notice changes right away, many patients begin to notice improvements in the short term. More long term benefits include:

  • Increased Energy Levels and Improved Vitality
  • Enhanced Muscle Mass and Bone Density
  • Increased Libido and Improved Sexual Function
  • Improved Cognitive Function
  • Mood Stability and Emotional Well-being
  • Controlled Blood Glucose Levels and Weight Loss

What To Expect At Your Evaluation

During your evaluation, you will first meet with Dr. Lindsey, who will ask you about your symptoms and perform a physical exam. He will discuss the pros and cons of testosterone and answer any questions that you have. From there, we will perform blood work to determine testosterone levels and other important hormones. If we find evidence of an andropause disorder in your results, we will create a testosterone replacement therapy treatment plan based on your specific needs and symptoms.

Am I A Candidate?

Testosterone replacement therapy may not be for everyone. For example, those with certain health conditions such as heart problems, blood disorders and other conditions may not be recommended for TRT. Patients should never pursue testosterone replacement therapy for performance enhancement purposes or to try and reverse unwanted weight loss. At your evaluation, we will walk you through the potential benefits and risks to ensure that TRT is a good choice for you.
