Frequently Asked Questions
What is Testosterone Therapy and who needs it?
Testosterone Therapy is a medical treatment intended to boost low testosterone levels in men experiencing symptoms of testosterone deficiency. These symptoms may include fatigue, muscle loss, decreased libido, and mood changes. This therapy is suited for men who have been clinically diagnosed with low testosterone levels.
How do I know if I need Testosterone Therapy?
If you suspect you have low testosterone, the first step is a consultation with a healthcare provider who can perform a blood test to measure your hormone levels. Based on the results and associated symptoms, your provider can determine if testosterone therapy is appropriate for you.
What are the differences between Testosterone Injections and BHRT?
Testosterone Injections involve direct, intramuscular injections that provide a quick boost in testosterone levels, whereas Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) involves administering hormones that mimic the body's natural hormones, through patches, gels, or pellets, providing a steady, sustained hormone level. The choice between the two depends on your health profile and lifestyle needs.
What are the benefits of using Bio-identical Hormones in BHRT?
Bio-identical hormones are chemically identical to those the body produces naturally, which can lead to better absorption and fewer side effects compared to synthetic hormones. Benefits often include improved mood, increased energy levels, better sexual performance, and overall enhanced physical health.
How long does it take to see results from Testosterone Therapy?
The timeline for experiencing the benefits of Testosterone Therapy can vary. Those receiving testosterone injections might notice improvements as soon as three to six weeks, with optimal results after three to six months. For BHRT, the effects can build more gradually, often stabilizing within three to six months as your body adapts to the new hormone levels.
