Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone and is critical for the development and maintenance of sex characteristics in men. However, testosterone levels naturally decline with age, resulting in a condition known as hypogonadism or low testosterone. Symptoms include decreased energy, low libido, erectile dysfunction, loss of muscle mass, weight gain, depression, and mood disturbances. Fortunately, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can safely and effectively treat low testosterone.
Balance Clinic is a hormone clinic specializing in testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). We help men optimize their vitality, health, and performance by restoring testosterone levels through convenient and cutting-edge therapies. This guide will provide an overview of TRT - who needs it, benefits, side effects, treatment options, and more. We'll also highlight why Balance Clinic is the premier clinic for TRT and men's health optimization.
Testosterone production peaks in a man's late 20s to early 30s. After age 30, testosterone levels decline by approximately 1-2% per year. Low testosterone or "low T" affects close to 40% of men over age 45. Symptoms include:
| Symptom | Description |
|---|---|
| Low sex drive, erectile dysfunction | Reduced libido and difficulty achieving or maintaining erections |
| Loss of muscle mass, increased body fat | Decreased muscle tone and increased body fat, especially abdominal fat |
| Irritability, depression, mood swings | Emotional changes, feeling down or irritable |
| Fatigue, lack of motivation | Decreased energy levels and motivation |
| Reduced bone density, risk of fracture | Weakened bones and increased risk of fractures |
| Difficulty concentrating, "brain fog" | Trouble focusing and mental clarity issues |
Lab testing is needed to confirm low testosterone. A total testosterone level below 300 ng/dL is considered low. Treatment is recommended for men with symptoms of low T and consistently low lab values. TRT can transform lives by restoring vigor, vitality, and peak performance.
Correcting testosterone deficiency with TRT offers life-changing benefits for men including:
| Benefit | Description |
|---|---|
| Increased muscle mass and reduced body fat | Improved body composition and muscle strength |
| Elevated mood and sense of well-being | Better emotional health and overall quality of life |
| Improved libido and sexual performance | Increased sex drive and better erectile function |
| Enhanced energy, motivation, and self-confidence | More vitality, drive, and self-assurance |
| Stronger bones and reduced fracture risk | Improved bone density and skeletal health |
| Improved memory, concentration, and cognition | Better mental function and cognitive performance |
| Reduced risk of cardiovascular disease | Improved heart health and reduced risk of heart attack or stroke |
In addition to relieving low T symptoms, TRT can help men feel healthy and youthful well into their later years. Testosterone is truly the hormone of vitality for men.
