Testosterone is an essential hormone that plays a vital role in men's health and wellbeing. As men age, testosterone levels naturally declineleading to signs and symptoms like low energy, reduced muscle mass, weight gain, irritability, and low libido. Prompt diagnosis and testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can help restore testosterone to healthy levels improving these symptoms. Vitality Hormone Clinic in Irving, Texas specializes in testosterone treatments for menusing cutting edge therapies, protocols and recommendations for lifestyle changes that optimize results. This informational guide covers the basics of testosterone deficiency, its symptoms, diagnosis, TRT options, and how Vitality Hormone Clinic can help men regain their vitality.
Low testosterone, also called hypogonadism or hypotestosteronemia, can negatively impact men's health in many ways:
Left untreated, low testosterone takes a tremendous toll on men's health, quality of life and longevity. That's why timely testing and TRT are so important.
The first step is diagnostic blood testing to accurately measure testosterone levels. This should include total testosterone, free testosterone, and Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG).
The Endocrine Society's guidelines say adult men are considered candidates for TRT if they have consistent symptoms and total testosterone under 300 ng/dL or free testosterone under 5-9 pg/mL.
Vitality Hormone Clinic provides referrals for accredited labs offering comprehensive hormone blood tests to clearly diagnose low testosterone before developing any treatment plans.
For men meeting diagnostic criteria, raising testosterone levels with TRT offers life-changing benefits including:

A little-known benefit of testosterone replacement therapy is that it has been shown to help reduce insulin resistance and risk of type 2 diabetes in men with abnormally low testosterone levels. The mechanisms behind this are still being researched, but testosterone helps regulate fat metabolism which influences diabetes risk.
