Men face various health issues as they age, many of which can be caused or exacerbated by declining testosterone levels. Common concerns include:
These symptoms can severely impact a man's quality of life. However, through testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) offered at clinics like Optimal Hormone Wellness Center, these issues can often be dramatically improved.
Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone. It plays a crucial role not just in libido and reproduction but also in various physical and mental processes.
Testosterone levels peak during adolescence and early adulthood. After age 30, they decline by about 1% per year on average. Some men experience a more rapid decline that leads to testosterone deficiency.
Low testosterone, or hypogonadism, affects around 1 in 4 men over age 30. Prevalence rises to about 50% by age 80. Contributing factors include:
Symptoms tend to be vague but potentially debilitating when deficient over an extended period:
If low testosterone is suspected, a simple blood test can check levels.
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can alleviate symptoms and help men regain their vitality. It's delivered via injections, gels, patches or pellets placed under the skin.
Most men start to experience benefits within a few weeks. Potential improvements include:
With treatment, men can feel like themselves again. Their quality of life often increases substantially.
The first step is having your hormone levels tested. This establishes your baseline to determine if treatment is recommended.
At our Victoria men’s health clinic Optimal Hormone Wellness Center, initial testing includes:
If results reveal low testosterone, additional diagnoses will be ruled out before developing an individualized treatment plan.
Protocols are tailored to your needs and preferences but typically involve testosterone injections, gels or pellets. Follow-ups monitor progress through symptoms reviews and repeat bloodwork.
Dose adjustments ensure optimal improvements are achieved without adverse effects. We collaborate so you feel your best on therapy.
A 2021 study found that adopting a Mediterranean-style diet rich in plants, fish and healthy fats is linked to better semen quality and reproductive health in men. The study suggests improving diet may be a simple, non-invasive way to boost fertility and reproductive health without the need for medical intervention.
