Kinds of Testosterone Therapy – Which Is Right for You?

Is your body making enough testosterone? For many men, especially men over 45, it is not. These men suffer from a condition called “low T.” Lower than normal testosterone levels can result in low sex drive, a lower frequency of sexual intercourse, reduced muscle mass, decreased strength, increased fatigue, and erectile dysfunction.

It’s been estimated that as many as 40% of men over 45 have lower than optimal testosterone levels. These men can probably benefit from one of the many modern forms of testosterone therapy, which we’ll review here.

And testosterone therapy is getting more and more popular as more and more people discover its benefits: it’s now a multi-billion dollar branch of the medical field, and an ever-increasing percentage of men are taking advantage of its benefits.

Testosterone May Be the “Fountain of Youth” You Need as You Age

They’ve left “weak, tired, with fading masculinity” behind and are embracing confidence, strength, and powerful maleness as part of their vigorous new life.

Can this new life be yours? If you suffer from Low T, yes, it can! The key is to be tested at our clinic to find out where you stand, then take action with the guidance of our expert physicians. Don’t trust online sites that often offer fraudulent supplements, are misprescribed without proper testing (which can seriously harm your health), and are illegal. Getting tested at a legitimate clinic with board-certified physicians is neither difficult nor expensive, so it’s the way to go.

So Many Testosterone Products to Choose From!

What kinds of testosterone products are there?

One of the longest-established testosterone therapies is injectable Depo-Testosterone. It’s in liquid form, a solution, and is intended to be injected into the buttocks regularly. Its main component is testosterone cypionate.

“Patches” can also be used; they’re officially called “transdermal” patches, meaning that the testosterone is absorbed directly through the skin. Your physician will instruct you on their use for your particular case, but generally, they are applied at the same time each day and left in place all day long. The location of the patches is rotated, so no one spot is reused in a week.

A topical gel is one of the most popular means of getting more testosterone in your bloodstream. There are several different manufacturers, and they vary in where they recommend the application of the gel – but it can be on your shoulders, your body’s front central core, or in some cases, on the arms. Your doctor will instruct you to apply it only to areas you intend to keep covered with clothes all day – you certainly don’t want to accidentally give potent testosterone to someone who doesn’t need it.

Choose Between Bio-Identical or Synthetic Testosterone

You and your doctor will also be able to choose between bioidentical testosterone (designed to be indistinguishable from the testosterone your body produces naturally)) and synthetic testosterone (optimal for some men but causes more side effects in others).

These decisions depend on your symptoms, overall health, and other unique factors. Don’t try guesswork. Get tested. Consult closely with a doctor committed to getting you back in the game – with improved sexual – and overall – vigor and the quality of life you deserve.
