Why would I need hormone treatment?
Starting at around the age of 30, men may begin to lose testosterone at an average rate of 1% each year. Dr. Ntonghawah can replace testosterone to get your hormones back “in balance.”
Why is testosterone so important?
This hormone supports many essential functions and aspects of your well-being, from muscle mass and bone health to mood, reproductive health, and sexual pleasure. So, when you have low levels of testosterone (or “low T”), you may experience many stressful changes that can have a tremendous and negative effect on your life.
What are the key symptoms?
Low T can manifest as a loss of muscle strength, poor sex drive, impaired energy levels, problems getting and maintaining an erection, depression and anxiety, stubborn fat, fertility challenges, and more.
Does aging always cause low T?
No. Chronic medical conditions, such as Type 2 diabetes and kidney dysfunction, as well as obesity and obstructive sleep apnea, are also risk factors for low testosterone.
How do you replace testosterone?
We offer many hormone replacement therapies (HRT). Options to replace testosterone include injections, gels, and pellets that are safely and gently implanted under the skin. We also offer bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), which is derived from plants and has the same chemical structures as hormones produced by your body naturally. This feature supports a natural, safe, low-risk, and effective therapy.
Is testosterone replacement therapy right for me?
We leave no stone unturned when diagnosing and identifying the underlying source of any concerning changes, such as unexplained and persistent fatigue. Diagnostics that inform your next steps and our treatment recommendations include blood tests, a review of your medical history, a thorough exam, and symptom assessments to evaluate your energy levels, sexual health, cognition and memory, sleep function, and other areas.
If TRT is right for me, what can I expect?
Dr. Ntonghawah and our team at Access Medspa Rejuvenate will ensure you are aware of everything to expect at each step in this journey so you can look and feel like yourself again. We carefully select the most appropriate method to get your hormones in balance. We start with the lowest possible dose to get results and gradually ramp up the dosing over time, allowing your body to adjust. This is a true partnership; it is crucial to keep follow-up visits as recommended by Dr. Ntonghawah. Adjustments will be made as needed, and we can recommend complementary therapies that are not limited to supplements, sleep hygiene, nutritional guidance, and exercise programs.
