Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Testosterone is a naturally occurring sex hormone derived from the testicles of biological males. Although men produce twenty times more testosterone than women, the ovaries and adrenal glands of biological females also secrete small amounts. This article focuses on testosterone’s role in men and how we support patients with clinically low levels.

More than a “sex” hormone. Testosterone is responsible for traits such as facial hair, a deeper voice, and increased muscle mass. Beyond sexual desire, it helps generate red blood cells and sperm, regulates muscle mass, strength, bone density, and fat distribution, and even influences mood, memory, and motivation.

Symptoms of low testosterone vary from person to person. Wondering whether you might be affected? Here are common signs.

• Low sex drive
• Erectile dysfunction or softer erections
• Difficulty producing or maintaining an erection
• Weight gain
• Depressed mood
• Fatigue
• Low motivation

After a thorough health history and lab review, we determine if you’re a candidate for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). Treatment can be administered via injections, gels, patches, nasal sprays, or pellets. If other conditions contribute to your symptoms, we address those as well.

At Restored Health, we believe that treating hormonal deficiencies plays a vital role in living a balanced, energetic life. Take back your health so you can feel your best!
