WHO NEEDS TESTOSTERONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY?

No one should ever self-diagnose low testosterone or low T. Even doctors will often test your blood twice to assure themselves of the accurateness of the testosterone levels found in your blood. If you haven’t been diagnosed, the doctors at Matrix Hormones are more than adept at assessing patient testosterone levels and uncovering any underlying causes. For example, low testosterone levels could be just a symptom of a different problem such as a malfunctioning adrenal gland.

SYMPTOMS OF LOW TESTOSTERONE INCLUDE:

The first concern in testing blood for low testosterone is whether the testosterone level you are exhibiting that day is indicative of your normal levels of testosterone. This is why doctors often draw blood on two separate occasions, allowing them to assess the validity of the results. If the two tests produce vastly different results, then a third would be needed to discern which results reflect your body’s normal levels.

Additionally, three forms of testosterone exist:

• Sexual Binding Globulin (SBGH), testosterone that isn’t available for use by the body
• Estradiol, testosterone that has undergone aromatization in the body, transforming it into estrogen
• Free Testosterone, testosterone that is available for use by the body

Testosterone is a hormone chiefly produced within men’s testicles. This hormone plays a vital role in the overall function of the body. Testosterone is largely responsible for regulating the following:

• Bone density
• Fat distribution
• Muscle mass
• Muscle strength
• Facial hair
• Body hair
• Red blood cell production
• Sex drive
• Sperm production

The natural decline of testosterone as you age has almost fully become common knowledge. For some, they may even consider it common sense as they recall what they know of older gentlemen. However, though a natural decline in testosterone is to be expected. This decline should only drop about 1% a year after a man hits his 40’s and 50’s. Consequently, such a decline is almost negligible over the course of a year. Once a decade has passed, men might then note the decline in their sex drive or muscle mass. In addition, low testosterone is really only a concern when a man experiences a significant drop in testosterone levels within the span of a year. The symptoms that occur with such a drop will be sudden and startling. These men, though aware something is wrong, often don’t seek the help they need for a multitude of reasons.

Reasons for not Consulting a Professional:

• A belief that being depressed is leading to the loss of sex drive, motivation, and weight gain.
• Embarrassment of sharing problems performing in the bedroom with a doctor.
• The belief that seeking help, especially testosterone treatments, makes them somehow less of a man.
