Medical science is starting to recognize that men also have hormone issues as they age. It is not uncommon for physicians to prescribe estrogen for women who have been diagnosed as estrogen deficient. Now physicians realize the same pertains to men. If men have low testosterone levels, treating these patients with optimal levels of testosterone is appropriate.

We generally treat males 30 years of age or older who have specific health concerns and objective low lab values. We require our patients to have a primary care doctor who will assess their overall health.

There are a few complications that will be explained to you at your examination. These side effects are typically only if the dosage is too much, which is why we take extreme caution to ensure you will not be receiving more than needed to achieve the optimal clinical outcome.

When treating hypogonadism using testosterone, every patient can differ on the time that it takes to notice differences. Most men notice changes on weeks 3-4 with mental cognition increasing, the late afternoon fog that clouds your thoughts. On weeks 6-8, energy levels start to increase and by week 16, you should be at your optimal dose and notice all changes in symptoms.

As with any medical treatment, side effects are always a common possibility; however, by going to the right medical professional, you can reduce your chances of experiencing them. At Mantality Health, licensed physicians closely monitor your progress to minimize the possibility of you experiencing symptoms. Our clinicians work to keep your testosterone levels in the optimal range which helps to reduce any side effects of testosterone replacement therapy.

With any medical procedure, there will always be both benefits and risks. So, we must weigh those potential risks or side effects of testosterone replacement therapy against the benefits of TRT. Just like any other treatment or procedure in the medical world, side effects are always related to how the treatment is administered and how well it is monitored by certified professionals. This is why, it’s so important to be picky when choosing the right medical provider who can carefully calibrate testosterone therapy to your specific needs.

Mantality Health offers testosterone replacement therapy throughout the midwest but specifically we have TRT offices in Chesterfield, MO, St. Louis, MO, Omaha, NE, Des Moines, IA, Milwaukee, WI, Appleton, WI, Cleveland, OH, Grand Rapids, MI, and Pittsburgh, PA.

We will consistently monitor the prostate and hormone levels plus certain blood counts.

We see this often. Most physicians use the total testosterone level to determine ranges, but it’s a really wide range. If you’re a 35 year old male with the testosterone level of an 80 year old, that’s not normal. We specialize in testosterone replacement therapy and treat each individual person based on a multitude of factors.
