Looking For Testosterone Therapy Near Me?

NovaGenix offers Low T treatment plans for men that are affordable, convenient and all inclusive.

The signs and symptoms of low testosterone may be subtle and sometimes they may be obvious but one thing is for certain, all men begin to have their hormone levels decrease over time.Some of the telltale signs of low T include having a decreased libido, ED, low energy or fatigue, a decrease in lean muscle mass, and increase in unwanted body fat especially around the midsection, loss of focus and difficulty in concentration, loss of body and facial hair, mood swings, irritability and depression, low confidence and sense of overall well-being may all be related to having sub optimal testosterone/hormone levels. For the men who may be experiencing some of these or other symptoms, a simple blood test for testosterone and a consultation with your physician may shed some light as to the underlying causes of the symptoms. It could be low testosterone or possibly another medical condition as the root cause. In either case, seeing a licensed physician will provide valuable insight and guidance.

After checking the blood work to look at things like free and total testosterone, estradiol, PSA, a CBC and CMP as well as other possible test such as Cortisol, LH, FSH, SHBG, DHEA, vitamin D, vitamin or B12, The physician will have better insight and may be able to offer help through testosterone replacement therapy.  There are many forms of TRT, including transdermal patches wear a sticker/patch is applied somewhere on the body such as the arm or back and is applied once a day.  Similarly gels and compounded creams can be applied once or twice daily and are a convenient way for men to maintain stable testosterone levels. Pellets can be implanted once every 3 to 4 months and can certainly help raise to start your levels but the injection route seems to provide the best overall control and titration level, bringing overall T levels into the upper quartile of normal standardized physiological levels based on most lab reference ranges.  On average most references for testosterone levels in men range between 250 and 1100. This is for serum or total testosterone levels.  One of the problems we see as hormone replacement therapy specialist is that quite often a primary care physician will reluctantly agree to test the patient’s testosterone levels only to leave out the free testosterone test which provides more important data than the serum alone

A patient may have total T levels in the 700 or 800s which might put them in the upper end of average testosterone levels in men, only to discover that due to high levels of sex hormone binding globulin or other binding factors that decrease the amount of testosterone available to actually be used by the male.Hormone replacement therapy is a very specialized niche field in medicine, so it’s important to realize that most PCPs have not been formally trained in this relatively new field of healthcare.We hear from patients all the time that their doctor dismissed their concerns, either refusing to test their blood for their hormone levels or did so only to come back and tell them that despite being in the bottom 5% quartile of testosterone levels that they are still within normal ranges and no therapy would be needed despite having all the signs and symptoms of Low T.  We have also had countless patients come to us and describe a physician who may be open minded but not nearly as knowledgeable as they need to be and prescribe testosterone with the protocol that actually may be more detrimental than good.[caption id="attachment_1040" align="alignnone" width="200"]
