Testosterone is the hormone that makes us a man.  Testosterone is the hormone that gives us men the zest for life. The sad truth is testosterone levels tend to decline as we get older. Testosterone levels decrease by 1% every year. Whether your in your 20s, 30s, or even approaching middle age there is hope to help these decreasing testosterone levels.

What is Testosterone?

Testosterone is a hormone produced in the testes. Testosterone is responsible for sperm production. Testosterone regulates sex drive (libido), fat distribution, muscle mass and strength, and the production of red blood cells.

Why is Low Testosterone (Male Hypogonadism) not diagnosed by primary doctors?

1. Men don’t go to the doctor, and when they do they don’t report symptoms.

2. It is hard to test for because it is symptom based. There is not a definite test to use.

3. There is a lack of provider awareness regarding the condition. Many doctors don’t understand what lab tests to order and how to manage it.

4. Insurance doesn’t like to cover it. It’s the honest truth most healthcare is reactive. Treating low testosterone is a more proactive therapy. It makes you feel better, and insurance companies hate to pay for that.

5. Many providers go by the endocrine societies standards. Which state a man with a testosterone level above 300 does not need treatment, even if he is having symptoms of low testosterone.

A. Lack of Focus

Treatment Types?

What are your treatment options? There are a few options.

•  Injectables: You can receive testosterone via a once a week or twice a week injection. Best way.
• Creams: You can receive testosterone via a cream/applicator that you rub into your skin. Very good for people who hate injections. You do have to apply more frequent.
• Oral Medications: There are certain oral Medications you can take that can cause your body to increase its own production of testosterone. Best for patients who’s testicles are already producing testosterone (500-700).
• Oral Testosterone: There are oral forms of testosterone. These medications by-pass the liver and cause your testosterone levels to increase. Expensive, Daily Medication, Newer.
