Feel Like You Have Nothing Left in the Tank?

Low testosterone–or Low T–can negatively affect men of all ages. It’s more than just feeling tired 24/7; men often experience the symptoms of low testosterone, such as muscle loss, erectile dysfunction, difficulty concentrating, weight gain, and much more. If you don’t have the energy to get through the day, if you can’t remember the last time you and your spouse had sexual intercourse, and notice your relationships and work are suffering, it may be your testosterone levels affecting your ability to live your best life. Testosterone replacement therapy is a safe and effective option for restoring your life.

 

Live and Perform to Your Full Potential With Testosterone Optimization Therapy

 

Declining Testosterone Levels Are Common But Do Not Have to Be a Fact of Life

Testosterone levels in men generally peak during adolescence and early adulthood. As men get older, their testosterone level gradually declines by about 1 percent a year after turning 30 leaving many men -- aged 50 and above -- with low testosterone levels. For many, this goes unnoticed, undiagnosed, and untreated. Those men are left feeling the effects, including fatigue, low sex drive, lack of motivation, decreased mental clarity, weight gain, and even depression.

Fortunately, there are safe and practical solutions that can help optimize your testosterone levels, improving your way of life.

How Does Prism Deliver TRT?

While many different forms of testosterone are available, not all forms are equally safe and effective. The medical staff at Prism Medical are dedicated to giving you not only the best treatment available but the most effective, which is why we focus on an injectable replacement. In addition to Testosterone by injection, you will receive additional medications to ensure your estrogen levels stay at an appropriate level and your body continues to make its own testosterone.

FAQ For Our Testosterone Optimization Program

 

How much does it cost to find out if TRT is right for me?

Your initial consultation is no charge. Depending on your insurance you could get the cost of the blood draw reimbursed. If you start a TRT program with Prism labs are included in the package. Out of pocket labs usually run around $135.

How long will I be on testosterone optimization therapy?

Hypogonadism is a chronic condition for most men. Some suffer short-term Low T resulting from infection or physical or emotional stress. Treating the infection heals the physical damage or alleviates the emotional stress, and proper testosterone levels return. Men who have been experiencing symptoms for months are considered chronic and need ongoing treatment.

The symptoms return when you discontinue therapy. This is similar to diabetics needing insulin or patients who take medication for thyroid issues.

What happens if I stop the testosterone optimization program?

In general, the body will restore hormone levels back to the pre-treatment baseline within 3 to 6 weeks after bio-identical hormone replacement is stopped. The reason this occurs so effectively and efficiently is due to the use of gonadorelin as it stimulates testosterone production via the testes (preventing testicular shrinkage). In general, it is safe to say that most men prefer the benefits of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy and choose to continue with treatment long term.

Is testosterone a steroid?

Yes. Testosterone is a steroid, but not all steroids are testosterone. Several other naturally occurring steroids are present in the body, including cortisol and estrogen. The term “steroid” refers to a common chemical structure.

Prism Medical is not an anabolic steroid clinic. Men who use anabolic steroids (those seen in bodybuilding competitions) have extremely high levels of testosterone and do not qualify for therapy.

Will my testes shrink on testosterone optimization therapy?

At Prism Medical, we often suggest the inclusion of a decapeptide called gonadorelin to be used in conjunction with testosterone. An amazing benefit of utilizing compounded gonadorelin is that it will help to prevent any unwanted testicular atrophy. Compounded gonadorelin is included in the Testosterone Optimization Program and is administered in the form of an oral tablet to keep the testes functioning properly. For men who are concerned about fertility, gonadorelin is a great option as it will also stimulate sperm production as well as increase testosterone.

What is the difference between injections and gels or creams?

Injection administration makes it easier to determine the amount of testosterone your body receives, and it is much simpler to modify the dose. Injections allow you to achieve optimal levels of testosterone to maximize outcomes while minimizing side effects. The chances of secondary exposure to other household members can be higher with the gels and creams.

Dr. Buckle discusses all of the options with you at your initial consultation. If you are currently using a gel or cream and want more information from the men’s health care specialists at Prism Medical, please call or schedule a consultation online.
