Low Testosterone

Low testosterone is a condition that affects many males as they continue to age.  Testosterone is the male sex hormone produced by the testicles. It works to regulate healthy sexual function and development in males. During puberty, testosterone helps male teens develop facial/body hair, a deeper voice, as well as muscle tone. It is also a necessary hormone in sperm production.  As this conditions persists, it can cause issues such as a diminished sex drive, erectile dysfunction, increased levels of fatigue, and reduced lean muscle mass.

To treat this, our team will likely recommend the use of testosterone replacement therapy. When your body cannot produce the levels of testosterone it once could, injections and supplements may be needed to correct the issue. By taking in a prescribed amount of external testosterone, you’ll be able to help fight off some of the previously listed symptoms. However, one should never put excess testosterone into their body without consulting with a urologist first. If our team determines testosterone replacement therapy is right for you, we may utilize the below methods:

  • Skin patches.
  • Gels.
  • Mouth patches.
  • Injections.
