Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) offers numerous benefits for men's health, particularly for those experiencing low testosterone levels. One of the primary advantages is the improvement in energy and vitality, which can lead to a more active lifestyle. TRT can also enhance mood and cognitive function, helping to alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Additionally, men undergoing testosterone therapy often report increased muscle mass and strength, improved bone density, and enhanced sexual function, which can significantly improve overall quality of life. Furthermore, maintaining optimal testosterone levels is linked to better cardiovascular health, reducing the risk of heart disease.
TESTOSTERONE TESTING
KNOW YOUR NUMBERS
What Is Testosterone?
Testosterone is a hormone produced in men's testes, women's ovaries, and adrenal
glands. The hormone is responsible for creating and repairing male reproductive tissue
and supports muscle and bone strength. It also deepens men’s voices, builds muscle, and
supports chest hair growth and penile growth during puberty. Testosterone aids in
sperm production and libido throughout a man’s life. Testosterone is often called "the
male hormone" because males typically have more than females.
Types of Testosterone
Most of the testosterone in men is created in the testes . A small percentage of testosterone is also created in the adrenal glands. There are two primary types of testosterone produced into the bloodstream: total testosterone vs. free testosterone.
Total Testosterone
Total testosterone refers to the summation of all the testosterone hormones in your bloodstream. Total testosterone accounts for 98% of the testosterone in the blood, which is bound to globulin SHBG (sex-hormone binding globulin) or albumin. It is also known as "bound testosterone.” The remaining 2% of testosterone in your bloodstream is referred to as free testosterone.
Free Testosterone
Free testosterone actively connects testosterone receptors all over the body and is not bounded to any proteins. Free testosterone is absorbed into body cells such as muscle tissue and bones to improve their functionality. It is also responsible for secondary sexual characteristics such as facial hair, chest hair, and a deeper voice in men.
Should I Get a Testosterone Test?
If you notice signs like low sex drive, fatigue, hair loss, swollen breasts, and weak bones,
it is probably time to get a testosterone test. Your men's health provider may prescribe
injections to normalize your testosterone levels.
