Low Testosterone - Low T Treaments in Houston, TX

Testosterone is a vital variable to a man’s health. The common link to testosterone is sex drive and function but there other factors affected by testosterone that could lead to serious health conditions. Testosterone naturally begins to decline in men around their middle age. The natural declining process of testosterone doesn’t normally cause cryptic symptoms, but testosterone below normal levels (Low T) might. There is a huge difference in natural declining of the testosterone levels and low testosterone levels. Low testosterone levels may cause symptoms such as low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, mood problems, fatigue, and sleep disturbances. Sometimes symptoms are so subtle they go unnoticed. That doesn’t mean there isn’t a problem, but it does mean there is room for improvement.

Some studies conclude low testosterone to be directly linked to chronic medical conditions, including obesity, diabetes, depression, and possibly cardiovascular disease. Up to 13 million American men may have low testosterone levels and 90% of them will not receive treatment. A simple blood test will tell you if you are at a normal level. There is no reason in today’s world why men should suffer with symptoms and conditions that are so easily remedied. Boosting the levels means a better quality of life. Several options exist to boost testosterone levels. The most effective and consistent method is pellet therapy.

Pellet therapy consists of placing tiny pellets, the size of a grain of rice, under the skin near the buttocks area. The process is administered by our physician in our office. Pellets are applied three times a year, thus, reducing the inconvenience of self-injections once a week. The pellets should completely dissolve leaving no residue in the body. Pellet therapy is proven to release testosterone in the body more consistently and effective than any other method.

Put the two together, pellet therapy and Low T treatments, and you have an easy solution to a serious circumstance. The important thing to remember during therapy is to stay in communication with the doctor. Visits and blood draws are scheduled for a reason, to monitor levels and make sure everything is in check.
