Testosterone is an essential hormone that plays a vital role in men's health. When levels are low, it can negatively impact energy, libido, muscle mass, mood, and more. Thankfully, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can help restore optimal levels and dramatically improve symptoms. Here at Revive Hormone Clinic in Mokena, we specialize in TRT and complementary therapies to help men realize their fullest potential. Read on to learn all about low testosterone, the myriad benefits of TRT, what to expect during treatment, and how our clinic can help you reclaim your vitality.
Low testosterone, or hypotestosteronemia, occurs when the testes do not produce adequate amounts of the hormone testosterone. This can happen for several reasons:
Low testosterone should always be evaluated by a medical provider, as Many symptoms can indicate hypotestosteronemia. Bloodwork helps establish a definitive diagnosis.
The signs and symptoms of low testosterone can vary significantly from one man to the next. Gradual, mild declines may produce subtle or vague symptoms that are easily overlooked. However, more pronounced deficiencies can greatly reduce one’s vitality and overall wellness.
Common symptoms of low testosterone include:
Men experiencing several low testosterone symptoms should be evaluated by a medical provider. Safe, effective treatments like TRT can provide immense relief.
For men with clinically low testosterone, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) offers life-changing benefits. When utilized appropriately under medical supervision, TRT can help restore optimal hormonal balance and dramatically improve symptoms.
TRT benefits include:
Additionally, many men report feeling 20 years younger while on TRT - regaining the vitality and vigor of their youth.
TRT positively impacts multiple aspects of men’s health when low testosterone is effectively treated. Consistent monitoring and adjunctive therapies (like improved diet and exercise) enhance outcomes even more.
If low testosterone is suspected, we first recommend comprehensive lab testing to accurately assess hormone levels. Initial bloodwork establishes a baseline to guide precise, customized treatment plans.
Once a low testosterone diagnosis is confirmed, TRT is administered to restore optimal testosterone levels. The goal is not supra-physiological amounts, but rather balances similar to healthy younger men. This is carefully managed through proper dosing while monitoring progress via follow-up lab testing.
There are several TRT preparations available:
Our clinic offers all TRT options so protocols can be individualized to each patient based on lifestyle, preferences, and specific needs. We carefully monitor progress and make dosage adjustments as necessary.
Most men begin experiencing TRT benefits within 1-2 weeks, though maximal improvements often take 2-3 months. Treatment is centered around the patient - not canned programs or rigid protocols. We also address lifestyle, diet, fitness and even deeper issues like mental/emotional health for fully integrated care.
Testosterone therapy has been shown in some studies to benefit certain mental functions like verbal memory and spatial abilities in older men. However, it does not appear to meaningfully improve overall cognitive function or dementia risk based on current research, despite some initial hopes of this possibility.
Treating low testosterone requires an exceptionally high level of skill, expertise and attentiveness. Possessing over 25 collective years in men’s integrative medicine, our practitioners have extensive training in TRT, sexual health, regenerative therapies and lifestyle medicine.
