Men’s health specialist Prabhdeep Singh, MD, offers comprehensive men’s wellness services, including testosterone replacement therapy, at our clinic in El Centro, California.

Low testosterone isn’t just your father’s problem

Testosterone levels can dip earlier than you may think. Testosterone levels can dip earlier than you may think. Roughly 25% of men between the ages of 30 and 45 and close to 40% of men over 45 have abnormally low testosterone. The rate of testosterone deficiency jumps significantly in men over the age of 65.

The toll of low testosterone

Testosterone deficiency is a medical condition that can lead to low libido, fatigue, depression, and muscle loss. In fact, according to the Mayo Clinic, men with testosterone levels below 300 ng/dL are at risk of developing osteoporosis.

Testosterone replacement therapy can help you get back on track. The first step is getting tested so that Dr. Singh can determine if you have a hormone imbalance. If it turns out that you do need treatment, there are several options available, including creams, injections, and pellets implanted under the skin.

These treatments all work in different ways but will help restore normal testosterone levels in your body, which means fewer symptoms and improved quality of life overall.

Benefits of testosterone replacement

Men with low testosterone levels report a range of symptoms such as loss of energy, decreased libido, and erectile dysfunction. Men with testosterone deficiency also experience a reduction in lean muscle mass and bone density and an increase in body fat. Low testosterone can even mess with your moods.   

TRT restores sexual vitality, improving erectile function, increasing sexual desire, and boosting sexual satisfaction.

Men who have low testosterone often lose interest in things they used to enjoy and don’t feel like themselves. Testosterone replacement therapy has been found to improve mood and a sense of overall well-being.

What’s more, TRT has been shown to increase muscle mass and bone density and reduce body fat. This is because testosterone replacement therapy re-balances hormone levels that have waned.

Testosterone replacement boosts energy and vitality, allowing you to enjoy your life again to the fullest. If you’re ready to find out how good you can feel by having your testosterone levels restored to normal, Dr. Singh can answer your questions and discuss TRT. To get started, call our office to schedule an appointment with Dr. Singh, or book online at your convenience.
