Testosterone? What is it?

Testosterone is the most significant androgen in males because it influences the growth and progression of male sexual traits. Testosterone is one of the most potent anabolic hormones produced by the body.

Testosterone is essential for several functions including.

  • Maintaining proper immune function.
  • Enhancing the growth of body and facial hair.
  • Enhancing sex drive.
  • Promoting the ability to get and sustain an erective.
  • Enhancing the growth of muscles.
  • Maintaining healthy energy levels.
  • Maintaining bone mineral density.
  • Enhancing cognitive function.
  • Enhancing confidence and motivation.

Males produce testosterone via a chemical messenger cascade that travels via the hypothalamic-pituitary-testes (HPT) axis. If any component of this axis fails to function properly, the required signals are not conveyed, and the body is unable to generate adequate testosterone for optimal health. As a result, male who sustain traumatic injuries to their testicles often have a decrease in endogenous testosterone levels. This can lead to low testosterone commonly referred to as low T which manifests in various adverse effects. Low T can also be caused by other causes that will be discussed below including natural aspects like aging.

What Are the Normal Testosterone Levels?

Testosterone levels in healthy males between 350 ng/dL to 1000 ng/dL are considered “normal.” Normal physiology enables the brain and testes to collaborate to maintain testosterone within this range. However, once a male gets to 25 years, the testosterone levels start dropping gradually with around a percentage of l-2% annually. This gradual degradation can lead to the levels dropping below the normal levels i.e., below 350 ng/dL.

Other Causes of Low T

  • Stress
  • Testicular injury.
  • Cancer Treatment
  • Chronic illnesses.

Low T Symptoms:

Many components of your body depend on the male hormone testosterone to function. When testosterone is not available to them, whether owing to low levels or a lack of free molecules, the effects of a testosterone shortage will be felt. This influence is felt in the form of Low T symptoms, which may be inconvenient. Examples of low T symptoms include:

a. Erectile dysfunction.
b. Low sex drive
c. Low sperm count.
d. Fatigue
e. Infertility.
f. Increased body fat.
g. Irritability.
h. Depression.
i. Mood outbursts.
j. Impaired focus.
k. Hot flashes.
l. Memory loss.

But do not worry! There is a technique to restore testosterone levels and relieve Low T symptoms. Introducing Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) at our Houston Med Spa!

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is the process of administering testosterone to males with low testosterone levels via skin patches, implants, nasal sprays, injections, pills, or other means.
