Low testosterone, also called low T or hypogonadism, is a condition where the testes do not produce enough of the essential male hormone testosterone. Maintaining healthy testosterone levels is critical for men's physical and mental wellbeing.
Testosterone plays key roles in:
Testosterone levels start dropping after age 30 by 1-2% per year. Reasons for low T include:
Low T symptoms manifest slowly, so many men do not realize they have this treatable condition.
Physical, emotional and mental signs of low testosterone include:
Because low T symptoms develop slowly, diagnosis requires blood testing. Balance Hormone Clinic screens for:
We also test other hormone levels which can impact T levels:
Comprehensive testing is vital because many factors influence testosterone levels. Balance Hormone Clinic provides fully-customized TRT therapy based on each patient's unique hormonal environment.
Once diagnosed, Balance Hormone Clinic can boost lagging testosterone levels back to optimal ranges through testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).
Benefits of TRT include:
Testosterone therapy may improve spatial abilities and mathematical reasoning in men with abnormally low testosterone levels. A 2021 study found that giving testosterone to deficient men improved their performance on spatial navigation and mental rotation tests, suggesting testosterone positively impacts spatial cognition, a dimension not typically associated with the hormone.
Balance Hormone Clinic provides fully individualized testosterone therapy based on each patient's needs and hormonal balance.
During the first appointment, our providers:
Using bloodwork results, we create a personalized therapy plan detailing:
Regular follow-up and bloodwork is vital for safe, effective treatment. Balance Hormone Clinic continually monitors and tailors TRT therapy to meet each patient's changing needs.
There are multiple TRT delivery methods to elevate testosterone. Balance Hormone Clinic helps patients choose the optimal route based on lifestyle, preferences, and health profile.
Testosterone injections are administered intramuscularly or subcutaneously every 7-14 days. Options include:

Testosterone pellets are implanted under the skin every 3-6 months, steadily releasing hormones. Local anesthetic is used.

Considerations: Insertion procedure cost and recovery
Nasal testosterone offers daily application.
Benefits: Non-invasive, adjustable dosing
Considerations: Irritation of nasal passages
Balance Hormone Clinic Tulsa helps patients weigh the pros and cons of each TRT method to create an optimal protocol.
While low T develops slowly, seeking timely treatment is key to reverse symptoms and avoid complications.
Benefits of promptly treating testosterone deficiency include:
Additionally, studies show men taking TRT live longer than those who are untreated after diagnosis.
