Understanding testosterone

Testosterone is a male sex hormone, which is primarily responsible for sexual function and development. It is because of testosterone that a young man begins to develop sexual reproductive tissues such as the prostate and testes. Testosterone also plays a role in the growth of body hair and the formation of muscle mass in males.

Females also produce this hormone, though males do so at a much higher level. The body produces this hormone when a boy hits puberty between the ages of 11 and 15. By age 30, testosterone production begins to slow down. The slower rate of production can result in low testosterone.

Effects of low testosterone

It is not uncommon for men to experience lower levels of this hormone as they age. Significantly lower levels of testosterone can affect one’s quality of life and well-being. Men need to pay attention to the warning signs of low testosterone.

It is also useful to know how this hormonal imbalance impacts their activities. Some of the most common symptoms of these lower levels include some of the following:

  • Lower sex drive
  • More fatigue after normal daily activities
  • Weight gain
  • Decrease in strength
  • When to seek help

People should not figure lower testosterone is inevitable and fail to act. Our team can help with low testosterone treatment. We see patients of a wide range of ages from adolescents to men well past middle age. Mild effects of low testosterone should not cause significant alarm.

However, if a person is experiencing mood swings, fragile bones or loss of muscle, it may be time to give our general practitioner a call. While many people’s libido does drop throughout life, a complete lack of desire for sex should be a concern for the individual and partner.

Interventions for low testosterone treatment

At Optimal Medical Group, we have the knowledge and training to help get patients’ testosterone levels back to normal. As men reach their 40s, these levels may drop 1 percent to 2 percent every year. Fortunately, we can replace these levels through different methods.

Depending on the person’s needs and the severity of the depletion, our practitioner can inject formulations of testosterone into the patient. There are also treatments via pellets, gels or skin patches. In some cases, patients can use oral methods to absorb testosterone into the bloodstream.

The Process

When patients are feeling the effects of low testosterone, Optimal Medical Group professionals will visit with them and discuss their health. Our general practitioner will conduct a physical and medical examination. The practitioner will talk to the patient about health history and current concerns. The patient will provide a urine sample, and there may be a blood test as well. These should show the patient’s testosterone levels and determine whether treatment is essential.

Dr. Juan Chavez, MD, or Dr. Lucia Mireles-Chavez, MD, or someone on our team can prescribe low testosterone treatment, but there are also ways the patient can find natural solutions. These can be helpful to employ along with visits to our office. One of the most useful things a person can do to keep levels up properly is to exercise regularly, specifically lifting weights.

Our team may also recommend a diet high in protein and carbohydrates. Supplements such as vitamin D and other minerals may also raise a person’s testosterone production. Simple activities such as getting more sun can also be effective at boosting these levels and increasing one’s energy.
