Testosterone is a hormone, a molecular messenger that travels through your bloodstream to act on many organs and tissues in your body, including your brain, muscles, fat, bones, and sexual organs.

Role of testosterone in the body:

Symptoms of low testosterone levels may include:

Irritability or unexplained negative mood

Loss of motivation

Anxiety or increased pessimism

Increased fatigue, low energy or diminished sense of well-being

Difficulty concentrating, lack of focus, forgetfulness and loss of memory

Feeling that you have lost your edge or passed your peak

Insomnia or poor sleep

Joint pain

Lacking desire (low libido) or pleasure in sex

Decreased ability to perform sexually

Erections that are less strong

None of these signs or symptoms are specific to testosterone deficiency and many are hard to differentiate from normal aging. Our role is to evaluate any signs or symptoms of low testosterone, and then to see how they correlate with your hormone levels.

Treatment

Testosterone may be administered, when clinically appropriate, through 1 of 2 methods, depending on the patient’s needs: intramuscular injections or transdermal applications.

Intramuscular injections

Testosterone Cypionate is given by injection once every 7 to 14 days. Dosing is dependent on your age, testing results, and symptoms. The testosterone injections we prescribe are manufactured by FDA-Approved manufacturers. Testosterone injections are given in our clinics or you can self-inject at home.

Transdermal Application

Testosterone is applied to the skin using a gel or cream on a daily basis. The concentration of testosterone in the blood goes up within a few doses.
