Male hormones, or androgenic hormones, play a vital role in men's health and wellbeing. The primary male sex hormone is testosterone. Testosterone is crucial for many body functions including:
As men age, testosterone levels naturally decline, leading to signs and symptoms associated with low testosterone (low T).
Maintaining healthy testosterone levels is key for men's health. When levels fall too low, men may experience issues like:
If men experience multiple low testosterone signs and symptoms, seeking professional medical advice is recommended. A simple blood test can determine if hormone therapy may help alleviate troublesome issues associated with low T.
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) involves boosting testosterone levels in men back to healthy, youthful ranges using gels, injections, patches, or pellets. When performed properly and monitored by a men’s health specialist, TRT offers many benefits including:
TRT often helps men regain their vitality so they can participate fully in work, sports, hobbies and relationships. It is not a cure-all but when properly administered, it can enhance men’s lives in multiple ways.
Emerging research shows optimized testosterone levels provide cardiovascular and metabolic benefits including:
A specialist can help men determine if TRT may mitigate risks for diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity and heart conditions.
If low T symptoms disrupt quality of life, Second Spring Hormone Clinic helps men explore treatment options. Our board certified men’s health experts tailor therapies to meet patient needs and health goals.
Here's what men can expect when starting TRT:
If TRT is advised, the physician helps determine preferred method - injections, gels or pellets:
Injections are administered weekly or every 2 weeks in clinics, home or pharmacies.
Gels/solutions are conveniently applied daily at home.
Pellets are bio-identical hormones implanted under the hip skin every 3-6 months.
Our providers explain how to properly administer treatments based on the patient’s lifestyle and preferences.
With ongoing oversight and labs, risks are minimized while benefits are maximized. Our clinical team works closely with men so they consistently feel their best.
Since low testosterone develops gradually, some men adapt to the changes and don’t realize how much vitality has declined. Symptoms dismissed as “normal aging” might actually stem from correctable low T.
There are risks to leaving low testosterone untreated over long periods including:
Diagnosing and treating low T promptly helps mitigate long term consequences that erode wellness and independence. The qualified physicians at Second Spring Hormone Clinic identify risks through comprehensive testing and offer safe, effective treatment options for eligible men.
