What is Testosterone Deficiency?

Testosterone is an important hormone that regulates many vital body functions in both men and women. Over time, testosterone levels can become deficient leading to unpleasant symptoms. Some common signs of low testosterone or hypogonadism include:

• Decreased energy and fatigue


• Loss of muscle mass


• Weight gain, especially around the midsection


• Difficulties with sexual function


• Mood changes like depression or irritability

Catching and treating low testosterone is important to help patients regain their vitality.

Benefits of Testosterone Replacement

Restoring testosterone levels can produce excellent benefits such as:

• Increased energy - Most patients report improved energy within weeks if treatment is optimized effectively. This renewed vigor can make it easier to be productive and active.


• Enhanced sexual function - Many aspects of sexuality like libido and performance often improve with therapy. This effect can improve relationships and quality of life.


• More muscle mass - Testosterone helps promote and maintain lean muscle. Patients often regain muscle lost to declining testosterone levels. This can aid strength for daily activities.


• Weight loss - As metabolism improves and muscle increases, substantial fat loss occurs in most patients. Losing that extra weight can mean big health gains.


• Better mood - Deficient testosterone is linked to depression and irritability. Treatment can stabilize mood and outlook.

In addition to feeling better, research links proper testosterone levels to better heart and bone health.
