What Is Testosterone?

Testosterone is an essential male sex hormone produced in the testicles. Men need healthy testosterone levels to maintain their sex drive, sperm count, muscle mass, bone health, cognitive function, red blood cell production, and several other important body functions.

As many men age, their testosterone levels can decline, resulting in many adverse side effects.

TRT is a great solution to help you win the battle against lowering testosterone.

What Are Low Testosterone Symptoms?

Key signs that you may be suffering from low testosterone are:

  • A drop in your libido
  • Less desire for sexual activity
  • Changes in mood
  • Loss of cognitive function
  • Fatigue
  • Feelings of depression
  • Lower energy levels
  • Trouble concentrating
  • Insomnia
  • Many men will have erectile dysfunction and be unable to maintain an erection.

When experiencing these signs and negative symptoms, you may have what is called “hypogonadism”. The best way to know for sure is to book a free consultation with a testosterone expert.

Why Have TRT ?

Men who have testosterone replacement therapy notice how quickly their clarity and energy return, so they can continue life as usual without interruptions.

Testosterone acts as a performance-enhancing drug for many reasons. This hormone helps to build strength and muscle mass in the gym, as well as maintain fat loss. Active older men may notice they can’t maintain muscle gains as easily, which could signify low testosterone.

What Causes Low Testosterone?

It’s normal for a man’s testosterone to lower as he ages, but even men in their 20s and 30s can experience symptoms of low testosterone. Several factors cause this — often driven by lifestyle choices. These may be:

  • Having an unhealthy diet
  • Smoking
  • Lack of exercise
  • Weight gain
  • Leading a high-stress life
  • Previous steroid use.

Low Testosterone vs Male Menopause

As men naturally lose testosterone in later life, this is often referred to as male menopause, similar to the menopause experienced by women. This is not an accurate representation as the decline of testosterone levels by 2% per year starts at around 30 to 40 years old, which is unlikely to cause problems in isolation.

Low testosterone or hypogonadism is an issue that can develop later in life and many cases of this condition are nothing to do with hormones, unlike female menopause.

What Is Included in TRT Screening?

  • A one-hour confidential consultation with a male doctor to discuss sexual health and symptoms of testosterone deficiency, followed by a half-hour consultation after test results.
  • Examination of past medical and surgical history.
  • Discussion on exercise, diet, lifestyle, stress, occupation and relationships.
  • Review of current medication and allergies.
  • Analysis of family history and possible inherited diseases.
  • A systematic review of sleeping patterns and weight issues.

  • Physical examination of the cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal and nervous systems.
  • Ear, nose and throat examination, including thyroid glands and lymph nodes.
