Testosterone Replacement Q & A

What does testosterone do?

Testosterone is a hormone that drives male sexual development and plays multiple roles throughout your lifetime. This hormone comes from your testes, but your pituitary gland guides its production. 

 

Men’s and women’s bodies both use testosterone, but men produce much more of the hormone than women. Testosterone is responsible for:

 

  • Your libido
  • Sperm production
  • Muscle mass growth
  • Vocal deepening during puberty
  • Face and body hair growth
  • Bone growth and strength

 

It’s common for men to produce less testosterone as they age. In fact, multiple factors can reduce your natural testosterone production. Your body weight can influence your hormones, as can certain medications and medical conditions. 

When should I consider testosterone replacement?

You might benefit from testosterone replacement if you have symptoms of low testosterone, a condition that affects many men as they age. No matter why you have low testosterone, the condition can cause a wide variety of symptoms that affect your well-being, including:

 

  • Low libido
  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Irritability
  • Depression
  • Low muscle mass
  • Low bone density 
  • Reduced strength and stamina
  • Gynecomastia
  • Poor concentration
  • Loss of body hair

 

Since symptoms like these can come from other causes, too, the team at Titan Wellness Center tests your hormone levels with a blood test during your initial visit to the office. They determine whether or not you can benefit from testosterone replacement therapy using natural or synthetic hormones. 

How does testosterone replacement work?

Testosterone replacement uses natural or synthetic hormones that match your body’s natural testosterone. When you introduce these hormones into your system, they interact with your body’s hormone receptors to decrease your testosterone deficiency. 

 

The team at Titan Wellness Center ensures you take testosterone at an appropriate and safe dose. They supervise your treatment with regular visits and can help you decide on the best way to take your testosterone. 

 

You can take testosterone via injection, topical products, or other methods. The team at Titan Wellness Center might recommend additional therapies or strategies, such as nutraceuticals or peptide therapy for hormone optimization.
