Low Testosterone Evaluation<\/p>\n
At Armor Mens Health, we see patients with low testosterone levels at all ages and for a number of different reasons. In addition to conducting blood tests for absolute testosterone levels, we will also measure a more sensitive form of testosterone called the free-testosterone level. There is no known normal range that applies to all men and some men benefit from treatment even after being told that their levels were normal.<\/p>\n
Your initial evaluation will also include looking for other problems whose symptoms can mimic those of low testosterone. In addition, a physical exam will look for evidence of testicular or prostate disease that could impact treatment.<\/p>\n
Treatment for low testosterone can take several forms that all require close follow-up and should begin with a thorough understanding of possible risks and side effects.<\/p>\n
No oral FDA approved testosterone replacement pill is available in the United States.<\/p>\n
Topical gels are a common and popular choice for testosterone replacement. Injection therapy can be a minimally invasive way for testosterone supplementation and can be administered in our office or by self-injection.<\/p>\n
In fact, weekly self-injection of testosterone can relieve patients of widely varying peak and through levels of testosterone and will be allowed when appropriate for properly qualified patients.<\/p>\n
Some patients may be eligible for implantation of subcutaneous testosterone pellets that only need to be replaced every 6 months, making supplementation nearly worry free.<\/p>\n
