Frequently Asked Questions

How does testosterone therapy affect male reproductive tissues?
Testosterone therapy can significantly impact male reproductive tissues by promoting the development and maintenance of these tissues. The hormone testosterone is crucial for functions such as sperm production and overall reproductive health, enhancing the body’s natural processes.
What role does a blood test play in diagnosing testosterone deficiency?
A blood test is essential in diagnosing testosterone deficiency, as it measures the hormone testosterone levels in the bloodstream. Accurate diagnosis typically requires two separate blood tests to confirm decreased testosterone levels and determine the need for testosterone therapy.
What are the benefits of using testosterone gel in testosterone therapy?
Testosterone gel is a popular form of testosterone therapy that provides a convenient and steady release of the hormone testosterone into the bloodstream. It helps improve symptoms associated with decreased testosterone levels, such as low energy, reduced muscle mass and decreased libido.
Can testosterone therapy affect sperm production?
Testosterone therapy can affect sperm production, potentially leading to reduced sperm count at levels above the physiologic range. While the hormone testosterone is vital for male reproductive tissues, excessive levels from external supplementation may temporarily suppress natural sperm production. Monitoring testosterone levels by a healthcare professional is essential. The changes to sperm count are often temporary and return to normal once our testosterone levels adjust.
How do decreased testosterone levels impact overall health?
Decreased testosterone levels can lead to various health issues, including reduced muscle mass, decreased bone density, chronic fatigue, anxiety, low mood and impaired sexual function. Testosterone therapy aims to restore normal hormone testosterone levels, improving overall health and vitality. Regular blood tests ensure effective and safe treatment.
