The testes glands in men produce the testosterone hormone. It is responsible for a variety of functions such as muscle mass, bone density, muscle strength, fat distribution, sex drive, RBC production as well as sperm production.
What is Testosterone?
Since testosterone is responsible for so many vital functions in the male body, a deficiency of it can lead to serious consequences. Fatigue, lack of sex drive, reduced bone density, muscle mass and strength, lack of zest for life and other aspects can hamper the quality of life enjoyed by a man. The condition of lack of testosterone also known as low testosterone is called hypogonadism.
Symptoms of Low Testosterone
Testosterone plays a vital role in masculine development in males. A low testosterone level in a man’s body results in a condition called hypogonadism. This condition has specific symptoms such as presence of female genitalia in the male, underdeveloped male genitalia, ambiguous genitalia etc. Interestingly, low testosterone can occur during fetal development and the symptoms will differ accordingly. The above symptoms happen because of low testosterone during fetal development. If testosterone levels reduce during puberty it can result in excessive leg and arm growth in proportion to the body trunk, reduced muscle mass, lack of body hair, shrill feminine voice, underdeveloped testicles and penis, breast tissue development etc. In case of low testosterone in adulthood, it can result in reduction of body hair and beard, erectile dysfunction, infertility, reduction in bone mass, breast tissue formation etc. Emotionally also a man may experience various symptoms because of low testosterone levels such as lack of focus and concentration, fatigue, hot flashes and reduced sex drive.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy and its Benefits
Testosterone replacement therapy has emerged as the new alternative to low testosterone levels in a man’s body. The process involves using testosterone supplements to restore the original levels of testosterone in the body. For men who show obvious symptoms of low testosterone such a procedure can be highly beneficial. However, for men who show gradual decline of low testosterone levels, diagnosis maybe difficult. Since every man’s body is different, the prescription of an appropriate testosterone replacement therapy needs to be done with caution. Many drug companies use synthetic testosterone to treat low testosterone. However, this is a standard dosage, which may not be applicable to all men. At Ojas Medical Spa, we provide bioidentical testosterone hormones, which resemble the natural molecular structure of the testosterone in your body. Hence, these are safe and natural with no side effects. In addition, when you opt for our testosterone replacement therapy or TRT you experience many benefits. There is enhanced bone density, lean stature, more sex drive, improved stamina, better erection functionality, better muscle mass etc. The results of TRT differ across men. While some men almost instantly notice immediate benefits, others notice it on a gradual basis. Men who have opted for TRT almost instantly experience a ‘high’, a surge in energy levels, more stamina, better libido, erections and a host of positive benefits, which improve the quality of life they enjoy! |
