The first step in diagnosing low testosterone is to do a blood test. This gives our medical staff a snapshot of what’s going on internally so that we can address how best to optimize your levels.

Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy for men is available in many forms. Through an evaluation of your unique symptoms and a thorough review of blood tests, your provider will recommend what is best for you. Recommended treatment options include a few different types of hormone replacement therapies, such as:

• Pellets – An implant of Bio-identical Hormone (testosterone only for men) is placed underneath the skin in a concealed area. The implants are small, and they are inserted under local anesthetic. Pellet therapy can last for up to 6 months between insertions.
• Creams – Testosterone is absorbed very well through the skin in most people and can be a simple and very effective delivery method. In some cases, though, men will have trouble getting adequate testosterone levels when using transdermal delivery. Transdermal delivery also risks having the hormone rub off or “transfer” to others who should not be exposed to such high levels of the hormone.
• Injections – Testosterone can also be injected directly into the muscles and can be a very effective way to increase levels of testosterone. However, this method requires weekly or, most often, twice-weekly injections to get adequate and constant levels of the hormone.
