Low Testosterone

What is Low Testosterone?

Low testosterone, also known as hypogonadism, is a condition where the body produces insufficient levels of testosterone. 

Testosterone is a crucial hormone responsible for the development of male characteristics and the maintenance of muscle mass, bone density, and sexual function. This condition can affect men of all ages but is more common as men get older.

At BHRT Delivered, we understand that maintaining optimal hormone levels is vital for overall well-being. Our personalized, concierge-style approach to hormone therapy is designed to help you reclaim your vitality and achieve exceptional wellness outcomes.

What Causes Low Testosterone?

Several factors can contribute to low testosterone levels, including:

Aging

Testosterone levels naturally decline with age, typically around 1% per year after the age of 30.

Medical Conditions

Conditions such as obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and chronic illnesses can impact hormone production.

Injury or Infection

Trauma or infections affecting the testicles can impair testosterone production.

Genetic Disorders

Conditions like Klinefelter syndrome or hemochromatosis can lead to low testosterone.

Medications

Certain medications, including steroids and opioids, can interfere with testosterone production.

Lifestyle Factors

Poor diet, lack of exercise, excessive alcohol consumption, and smoking can contribute to low testosterone levels.

What Symptoms Will I Experience with Low Testosterone?

Low testosterone can manifest through various symptoms, which may vary in severity:

Fatigue and Low Energy

Persistent tiredness and a lack of motivation.

Decreased Libido

Reduced interest in sexual activity and diminished sexual performance.

Erectile Dysfunction

Difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection.

Mood Changes

Increased irritability, depression, or anxiety.

Muscle Mass Loss

Reduced muscle strength and mass.

Weight Gain

Unexplained weight gain, particularly around the abdomen.

Bone Density Reduction

Increased risk of fractures and osteoporosis.

What Should I Try at Home Before Seeing a Provider for Low Testosterone?

Before seeking professional treatment, there are several lifestyle changes and home remedies you can try to boost your testosterone levels:

Healthy Diet

Consume a balanced diet rich in lean proteins, healthy fats, and whole grains. Foods like eggs, nuts, and leafy greens can support hormone production.

Regular Exercise

Engage in strength training and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to stimulate testosterone production.

Adequate Sleep

Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep per night to support hormone regulation.

Stress Management

Practice relaxation techniques such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises to reduce stress levels.

Limit Alcohol and Avoid Smoking

Reduce alcohol intake and quit smoking to improve overall health and hormone balance.

Weight Management

Maintain a healthy weight through diet and exercise to prevent obesity-related testosterone decline.

Best Treatment Options for Low Testosterone

If lifestyle changes are insufficient, several treatment options are available to manage low testosterone:

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)

Administered through injections, patches, gels, or pellets, TRT can effectively restore testosterone levels.

Clomiphene Citrate

A medication that stimulates the body's natural testosterone production.

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG)

Often used in combination with TRT, hCG can help maintain fertility while increasing testosterone levels.

Aromatase Inhibitors

Medications that prevent the conversion of testosterone to estrogen, thereby increasing testosterone levels.

Lifestyle Modifications

Continued focus on diet, exercise, and stress management to support overall hormone health.
